King

King is confident, social and very affectionate. A true love bug, his favourite pastime is snuggling up as close to people as possible – even if he’s only just met them! If you’re looking for a dog who thrives on human companionship, he may well be your perfect match.

King enjoys his walks (preferably in dry weather!) and is well behaved on the lead. He is fully house trained and has completed a beginner’s training course, so he already understands basic obedience.

King is a charming, affectionate boy who will make a wonderful addition to the right home

King has a European pet passport, which means he can be rehomed outside the UK. Potential adopters must be able to travel to us to meet and collect him, as we don’t transport or deliver dogs. We’re also happy to arrange a home check in your area prior to adoption.

In these early days, it’s your responsibility to keep King 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, King is likely to feel the same. Greyhounds are incredibly sensitive, emotional souls and are very good at picking up on our moods.

King is currently living in a foster home, but before that he 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, King  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.
