Noel Gallagher

Noel is the dog of dreams, he is so handsome – he is 7 years old and has spent his entire life in a kennel with no home comforts or exciting days out.  He is a big boy but he is a plodder – he is slow and steady and just on the hunt for human affection.  He is a quiet boy and an absolute joy to be around – he has started to be a little bit silly and play bow which tells us he is learning how to enjoy life.

Please follow his journey on our Instagram or Facebook page.

Before going into foster care, Noel spent time in kennels, so some everyday household sights and sounds may still feel new, confusing or a little worrying. 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, Noel will blossom into a wonderful companion, ready to share life’s adventures with you.

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

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.

Before applying to adopt, please read our FAQs and 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 understand that this is his home. He’ll feel relaxed, secure and trusting, and much more like himself.
