Racing Name: Whistlebridge

Muffin enjoys just sitting in the park and watching everything going on. She may look a little worried in the photo, but she wasn’t nervous at all — just taking everything in. She walks well on the lead, travels well in the car and isn’t bothered by other dogs. She’s just lovely.

Follow us on Instagram or Facebook for updates on her journey.

Muffin has a European pet passport so can be rehomed outside the UK so long as you can travel to us to meet and collect her (we don’t transport/deliver) and we can arrange a home check in your area.

In these early days, it’s your responsibility to keep Muffin safe by keeping her 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 her.

Please remember to stay calm and relaxed throughout this settling-in period. If you feel anxious or stressed, Muffin is likely to feel the same. Greyhounds are incredibly sensitive, emotional souls and are very good at picking up on our moods.

Muffin will be moving into a foster home, but before that she spent time in kennels, so some everyday household sights and sounds may still feel new, confusing or a little worrying for her. She’ll need gentle introductions to things like hoovers, TVs and busy home life, along with plenty of reassurance as she learns that she’s safe. With time, patience and understanding, Muffin 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. She may also test boundaries as she tries to understand her new environment.

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

3 months – By three months, your new dog will truly understand that this is her home. She’ll feel relaxed, secure and trusting, and much more like herself.

When you submit an application form, you will receive an automated email straight away outlining the next steps. We’re unable to process applications until we receive a reply to this email, so please check your junk or spam folder. As we use an automation platform, emails can occasionally be rejected. If you don’t receive anything as soon as you press submit, please let us know so we can help.

Please make sure you are in a position to adopt a dog, before completing the online adoption form. We are unable to hold onto dogs for more than a few days, once you have passed your homecheck.

We do rehome throughout the UK, so long as you are prepared to travel to meet the dog within a few days of applying for him and then again to adopt him, once you have passed your homecheck.
