Gnawer Pawrice

Gnawer Pawrice is the sweetest boy. He hasn’t raced and is a lovable lad who wanders around looking for love and cuddles. 

As you may have seen on our social media, Gnawer is living up to his name and is a total foodie! A bit of a culinary enthusiast, Gnawer is enjoying exploring all the new scents and tastes that home life provides… he’s already been given his first taste of ice cream (which he rated 10 out of 10) and he is looking forward to expanding his palate further!

Gnawer is embracing all the adventures that come with life as a pet. He recently enjoyed his first trip out in a camper van and loved it, sitting by the window and watching the world go by. Gnawer is a great observer who enjoys people-watching at the pub and walks along the seafront, where he’s wide-eyed with wonder at all the goings on.

At home, Gnawer is a lovely housemate who is beginning to play with his  houndy foster siblings. He’s even starting to get the hang of important phrases such as “wait”, “no” and “come here”. He may not always be top of the class, but he’s certainly trying his best – especially if there’s a treat involved! 

Gnawer is starting to understand the joy of toys and has become quite fond of a stuffed rabbit that now enjoys pride of place on his bed… what an absolute sweetheart.

In the early days of adoption, it’s your responsibility to keep him 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, 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.

Gnawer Pawrice has only spent time in kennels, so some everyday household sights and sounds may still feel new, confusing or a little worrying for him. 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, Gnawer Pawrice will blossom into a wonderful companion, ready to share life’s adventures with you.

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.
