Dudley

Dudley is a larger sized greyhound who is absolutely fabulous. He is super friendly and gives lots of kisses. He travels well in the car and isn’t bothered by traffic whilst walking. He is fine with other breeds of dog and a real stunner.

Dudley is a dog made for loving – he just wants to have a laid back life with lots of cuddles.   He is living in a foster home with other dogs and he is fine with them – outside he just ignores other dogs.

Dudley has enjoyed a holiday on the Isle of Wight and took it all in his stride. A super boy.

Dudley has only just turned 2 – he is young dog with little life experience so it will be your responsibility to make sure he settle – he may freeze of walks, he may get scared at times – you will have to just move him along to he gets used to it.  He shows no signs of this in his foster home but different environments will change a way a dog thinks – less stress = a more happy, carefree dog.

• Young greyhounds are different to regular rescued ex racer greyhounds.  They have little life experience and have spent a lot of time just existing in their kennel.   They may freeze of walks, not understand what you expect of them or just be a little dazed and confused at their new life.  How they will behave will be a direct reflection of how their owners are with them – if you are confident – they will take confidence from you.  If you stress – you will just add to their current stress levels and make things 10xs worse.
• You will have to manage any situations that will arise and teach your young greyhound how to function in his new life.  Please do not expect him or her to just know what to do.
• We can only assess the dogs with our volunteers – they may react differently with you. But if you stay calm, keep confident and jolly your new dog along you will be fine.
• If you are not prepared to put the extra work in – if needed – please consider adopting a greyhound who is 3 years or older – as they will be more confident.  We really do not want this dog to be returned because you don’t want to put the effort into helping him or her settle.
