Pippin

Pippin is a stunning boy. He has the blue-hound charm that means his foster family are often stopped in the street so people can comment on how gorgeous he is! Who could resist those floppy ear triangles and soulful pale eyes?

Pippin is a classic loyal greyhound who adores getting a cuddle and fuss. He’s been learning lots in his foster home, including how to go up and down stairs (not easy with that top-heavy hound frame!) and how to eat healthy. Fruit and veg are now firmly on the menu and he happily tucks in.

Like a lot of dogs, Pippin’s hobbies include an interest in squirrel-related activities, and he enjoys seeing them in the garden!

If you’re searching for a loyal best friend with movie-star looks and a heart full of love, Pippin may just be your dream match.

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

Pippin 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, Pippin will blossom into a wonderful companion, ready to share life’s adventures with you.

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 truly understand that this is his home. He’ll feel relaxed, secure and trusting, and much more like himself.
