Tarragon

Tarragon is a sweet boy with a gentle nature and so much love to give. He can be a little shy when he first meets new people or finds himself in new surroundings but with time, patience and plenty of love, we’re confident he will continue to blossom.

We’re already seeing this in his foster home, where he is really starting to shine and show more of his lovely personality each day. It’s been wonderful to watch him grow in confidence and begin to find himself.

Tarragon is currently living happily with other sighthounds, but he could also be perfectly content as an only dog.

Follow us on Instagram or Facebook to see where to goes to when he starts his adventures.

In these early days, it’s your responsibility to keep Tarragon 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 for him.

Please remember to stay calm and relaxed throughout this settling-in period. If you feel anxious or stressed, Tarragon is likely to feel the same. Greyhounds are incredibly sensitive, emotional souls and are very good at picking up on our moods.

Tarragon will be moving to a foster home when he arrives, but before that he 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, Tarragon 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.
