Blondie

Reserved 

Blondie has settled well in home life and is a very sweet and gentle girl.

She loves people she knows and will happily come over for a fuss whenever you’re up and about – or even when you’re relaxing. In fact, one of Blondie’s favourite things in the world is a good belly rub, and she’s not shy to ask for one. Who could resist that cheeky roll over?

Blondie is also a bit of a foodie and very much enjoys mealtimes and treats. She’s happy to rootle around a snuffle mat to dig out the bets bits! Blondie loves playing with toys, especially squeaky ones, and when the weather is nice you’ll often find her enjoying a peaceful sunbathe.

She gets on well with other dogs and has recently been busy making even more canine friends (sighthounds and non-sighthounds alike!) and joining them on their walks. Blondie is a wonderful example of how greyhounds can happily enjoy the company of other breeds, and is gaining confidence out and about all the time.

This fawn beauty is not just a pretty face and her lovely ways are sure to bring her future owners a lot of joy.

Before arriving in foster care, Blondie has only spent time in kennels, so everyday household sights and sounds will  still feel new, confusing or a little worrying for her. She’ll need gentle introductions to things like hoovers, TVs and busy home life, along with plenty of reassurance as she learns that she’s safe. With time, patience and understanding, Blondie will blossom into a wonderful companion, ready to share life’s adventures with you.

In the early days of adoption, it’s your responsibility to keep Blondie safe by keeping her world small and calm. Take things slowly and gently build up to more exciting experiences – too much, too soon can be overwhelming and may make the adoption harder for her.

Please remember to stay calm and relaxed throughout this settling-in period. If you feel anxious or stressed, Blondie is likely to feel the same. Greyhounds are incredibly sensitive, emotional souls and are very good at picking up on our moods.

Before applying to adopt, please take a moment to familiarise yourself with the 3-3-3 rule. This is some of the best advice available to help a new dog settle successfully into their new home.

3 days – In the first three days, your dog may feel scared, anxious or overwhelmed. She may also test boundaries as she tries to understand his new environment.

3 weeks – After around three weeks, she should start to feel more settled and become familiar with his routine. This is often when her personality begins to shine through.

3 months – By three months, your new dog will truly understand that this is their home. She’ll feel relaxed, secure and trusting, and much more like himself.
