Find your new best friend:
1. Daisy
Age: 4 years
Sex: Female
Desexed: Yes
About: Daisy is a bright, sweet, snuggly, bubbly, and affectionate little girl. She is calm, quiet, respectful, confident and cuddly with everyone she meets. She wants to say hello to everyone she meets and adores people and wants to be around them. She will get wriggly and excitable when first saying hello to people but settles quickly.
Good to know: Is good with dogs of all sizes and breeds but is protective of her personal space if the other dog is pushy or rude. Would prefer to live alone and be the centre of attention, however, could also live with a doggy friend of any size. Has never been tested with cats or pocket pets.
2. Nick
Sex: Male
About: Nick is a calm, quiet, relaxed, respectful and gentle boy around people. He likes a good zoom every now and then, or a nice leisurely stroll, and enjoys playing with toys (particularly balls & stuffed toys). He wants a quiet life to enjoy his retirement. Enjoys having a routine and is confident once he knows it.
Usually walks on a loose lead but can be strong on lead when seeing other breeds (getting better each day). He finds the world a bit scary at times, which makes him unsure, and I can shut down if it's too much. However, with love and support from his human, he is getting confident.
3. Sherman
Age: 5 years
About: Sherman is a cuddly, affectionate, super playful, and energetic boy that enjoys some weird sleeping positions. He loves people and saying hello to everyone he meets but doesn’t always have the patience to stand around and wait while people are talking. He can be strong on lead but loves going for walks. Enjoys zooming and is super playful with his toys, after which he does enjoy a good relaxing snooze.
Good to know: He is good with medium/large dogs and could happily live with them. He is good with little dogs but is still learning how to play with someone that is smaller than him. No pocket pets and he has never been tested with cats.
4. Shirley
About: Shirley is a happy, friendly, sweet, cuddly and affectionate small girl. She can be excitable at times, but settles quickly and is a clam, quiet, lazy and respectful girl. Adores people and wants to be around them and is an expert at leaning on them. She expects pats and cuddles from everyone she meets.
She is a serious explorer off lead before coming to hang with people but does like playing with toys every now and again. She is a loose lead walker but can cross in front of you at times, loves food and going for walks. She isn’t big on zooming and travels well in cars.
Good to know: Shirley is still learning other breeds and is not muzzle exempt. She is fine on lead walking in a group with other breeds but does not like being approached and is still very rude in her greetings. However, is perfectly fine with other greyhounds on and off lead. No pocket pets or cats.
