Evie Pig

Evie Pig is a confident girl with the most fabulous, dotty ears! She has been out and about with our volunteers, who say she walks well on the lead and is curious about the world around her. Evie Pig also travels well in the car and is currently living happily with another greyhound.

In these early days, it’s your responsibility to keep your new dog 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 for him.

Please remember to stay calm and relaxed throughout this settling-in period. If you feel anxious or stressed, your new dog is likely to feel the same. Greyhounds and some lurchers 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. 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 truly understand that this is his home. He’ll feel relaxed, secure and trusting, and much more like himself.
