Toto

Toto is a huge cuddly boy! He weighs 45 kilos!

However he is an absolute gentle giant, walks really well on the lead and polite around other dogs. He is a total love bug. He isn’t bothered by traffic and travels well in the car. He will certainly turn heads when he is seen out and about with you. Toto is very happy and just loves all the attention he gets.  He is what we call a dope on legs – he is so laid back and not very smart!

• 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.
