Rose is a beautiful blue brindle girl who has only just turned 2 years old. She is a sweet girl, getting used to going out and about. She enjoys walking around Headcorn and seeing all the new sights and sounds. Rose likes a fuss and is friendly when she meets you.  Rose is such a pretty girl but please do not get distracted by how pretty she is – she also needs to fit into your lifestyle.

She will be a wonderful pet and has fabulous ears that she hasn’t got much control over!

  • Young greyhounds are different to regular rescued ex racer greyhounds.  They have little life experience and have spent a lot of time just existing in their kennel.   They may freeze of walks, not understand what you expect of them or just be a little dazed and confused at their new life.  How they will behave will be a direct reflection of how their owners are with them – if you are confident – they will take confidence from you.  If you stress – you will just add to their current stress levels and make things 10xs worse.
  • You will have to manage any situations that will arise and teach your young greyhound how to function in his new life.  Please do not expect him or her to just know what to do.
  • We can only assess the dogs with our volunteers – they may react differently with you. But if you stay calm, keep confident and jolly your new dog along you will be fine.
  • If you are not prepared to put the extra work in – if needed – please consider adopting a greyhound who is 3 years or older – as they will be more confident.  We really do not want this dog to be returned because you don’t want to put the effort into helping him or her settle.

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.
