Princess Rosalina

Follow us on Instagram or Facebook to see where she goes on her adventures.

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

Rosalina will be moving to a foster home when she arrives, 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 him. She’ll need gentle introductions to things like hoovers, TVs and busy home life, along with plenty of reassurance as he learns that she’s safe. With time, patience and understanding, she 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.
