We pride ourselves on being a responsible rehoming centre. We put the dogs first by ensuring each one finds their perfect forever home in matching them based on their needs and personality.
Each dog’s behaviour is assessed to establish their suitability in socialising with other breeds out and about, but also regarding living with other breeds, children and even other species! To do this we assess each dog with Blossom and Bumble the working Cocker Spaniels, and in very rare instances with a cat if we feel they have the right temperament. This gives us a good idea of what level of experience the home has to be for that dog.
We provide honest and open descriptions of each dog and ensure all details are given to potential adopters.
The colour chart is a rough guide. Bear in mind that many of the Yellow, Orange and Red dogs would happily live with children, the Purple ones have the potential to live with younger than 16, and Pink dogs have the potential to be only dogs, so make sure to read the blurbs fully. However, it is important to trust in the staff to successfully match you with your perfect dog, as you may find yourself matched with a different colour level than you expected.
As one of the few rehoming centres that home with children, we take our time to ensure the most suitable match. While greyhounds make excellent family pets and do very well living with children due to their incredibly passive, laid back and affectionate nature, we will generally list dogs as Blue, and more frequently Purple.
Do not be disheartened by this if you do have younger children, we want to ensure that every greyhound that we rehome...stays in that home! So we take extra care in choosing which dogs are most suitable to go home with young children so it is all smooth sailing!
But, regardless of the home situation, whether it is adult only, with children, with other dogs or even with cats, matching with your perfect dog takes time! Although with new dogs arriving constantly throughout the year, your perfect dog may just be around the corner!
