Coral

Coral is a very pretty smaller greyhound who is just 2 years old.  He is super sweet but like most younger greyhounds he needs more exercise and more attention than an older greyhound who has finished racing.    He will suit most homes but would prefer to have his owners around a lot of the time or to have another dog for company.

Before going into foster care, Coral spent time in kennels, so some everyday household sights and sounds may still feel new, confusing or a little worrying. He’ll need gentle introductions to things like hoovers, TVs and busy home life, along with plenty of reassurance as he learns that he’s safe. With time, patience and understanding, he 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 Coral safe by keeping his 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.

Please remember to stay calm and relaxed throughout this settling-in period. If you feel anxious or stressed, then your new dog 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 read our FAQs and 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. He may also test boundaries as he tries to understand his new environment.

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

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