Raven is still waiting for his forever home at the Cornwall branch. He is a very loving boy with a great personality, but he would benefit from being in an adult-only home as the only pet.

Raven is a strong boy who isn’t good with other dogs on walks, so he needs an owner who won’t be out and around many other dogs. He really does deserve to find his forever home, so if he sounds like a match for you, please phone Sandra at the Cornwall branch on 01209 831177

DOC
Male 8 years
Doc is 7.5 years old and needs a very specific type of home. Doc's new home has to be with a family who has sighthound experience so would not be suitable as a first greyhound. Doc is protective of his belongings and has resource guarding issues. If a family is willing to work around this, they will get a very sweet boy who walks really well and has a loving nature.

Connel
Male 5 years
Racing Name: Scattered Canelo
Date of Birth: January 2020
Connel has been in a home with 2 other dogs, so is house trained but unfortunately after quite some time, was becoming increasingly dominent with them. A high energy boy who loves people but needs some rules and boundaries to make him a really happy boy. He is bright and learns quickly but this also means he learns good and bad in equal measure, given the opportunity! Has been out and about quite a lot and loves his adventures, he will however approach any human for a fuss! A great boy who maybe needs to be the only dog in the home. Connel deserves a second chance, could you be the one to give him this??

TANYA
Female 6 years
Tanya is one of our longest stay dogs having been with us for 624 days and counting. She is what we call a ‘Spook’* and has taken time to settle into the kennel and get used to the staff. As a Spook, Tanya very much likes routine and anything out of routine means she will plonk her backside in the corner of her bed and refuse to come out until we are back on schedule. She has come a long way with the staff in the 21 months that we have had her. She trusts the staff but that trusts has its limits.
Tanya will now wait at the kennel door every day when you put her back in to have a stroke and some head scratches and has turned into an affectionate dog with the staff. Although she is happy for the staff to move her around the kennel, she can be easily spooked by people she doesn't know. Despite what it sounds like she has grown in confidence since she joined us and will now walk -quickly- pass strangers and will even take treats from them. Food is a big motivator for Tanya in making friends. With time and trust you may be able to use food as a motivator to help her get comfortable with new people.
Tanya doesn’t go out for walks as much as we would like her too as she finds the prospect of leaving the kennel grounds a bit frightening. It really is hit and miss with walking and sometimes she will go months without a walk. However, she is perfectly happy to have a mooch and a sunbathe out in our paddocks and have a wander on lead around our fields with one of the staff. When she is happy for a walk she does like having the chance to stretch her legs and investigate new smells.
She will need a calm and patient owner who can walk her in quieter areas when she's ready and walk her on a harness plus collar/lead set. She will need a fully fence garden ideally over 6ft in height. When panicked Tanya can jump 6ft from standing. So far, she's not gone over our 6ft fences, but she is always monitored when in the paddocks.
Tanya cannot live with children, cats, small animals, other breeds of dog or other greyhounds. She is best suited as an only pet in a quiet all adult household.
Is there someone out there that can give Tanya the time, patience and routine that she needs to be happy?
*Spook refers to idiopathic fear and withdrawal syndrome. It is a genetic/hereditary issue, it is not due to any bad experiences prior to coming into homing kennels. A Spook is basically a dog that is terrified of anything and anyone that they aren’t familiar with, and it can take a long time to gain a Spooks trust and to build a relationship. Building a relationship with them does happen but you are looking at a year or more to build that relationship and not a few weeks.
