Shadow

Meet our gorgeous ex racing greyhound, Shadow!

Shadow is a very cheeky boy has been super friendly to our staff and volunteers since he came in to our care. With him being an ex racer, he does have a high prey drive so can try to chase squirrels whilst out for his walks! He was paired in his kennel prior to her going home and will walk well with other greyhounds. He does seem unsure around other breeds of dogs, especially smaller breeds and will be quite vocal towards them. The staff and volunteers have been doing socialisation training with him here and he is improving slowly, his new family would need to continue this to help with improve further.

Shadow will have spent most of his life in kennels with his racing background, so he may feel a little nervous going in to a home environment. We also do not know if he is house trained or toilet trained due to this. He loves to lie in his comfy beds after his walks – we sometimes catch him upside down showing his belly off!

We think Shadow would prefer to be the only dog in the home, with him being a little unsure around other dogs at moment. However, he could potentially live with another greyhound if a meet and greet with him went well and depending on the other dogs temperament. He could also potentially live with children 12 years and older – subject to a successful meet.

Shadow would love a home where he could relax and enjoy his retirement years and rest on a comfy bed (or couch) of his own!
