Pippin

Pippin is a stunning boy. He has that blue-hound charm which 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 is always happy to see you and has the waggiest welcome. He loves a comfy bed or sofa, roaches constantly when he sleeps, and in the mornings Pippin politely rests his chin flat on the bed, waiting patiently for head strokes.

Like his namesake, Pippin thinks the greatest adventure is living life with joy. In fact, he has such love for life that his foster family say he chatters all the time. The little things make Pippin so happy, whether that’s being brushed, having his face wiped, or getting some fuss!

Pippin thinks squirrel-related activities are fascinating and he could watch them all day. He loves sniffy games, responds really well to training, and has even been practising recall in the garden. He walks well on the lead, loves his food, and will do just about anything for a treat!

This happy-go-lucky boy will bring joy and warmth to a very lucky adopter’s home and heart!

Before moving into foster, Pippin 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.

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.

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.
