Cliffy

4 years old

Cliffy is an affectionate greyhound with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He’s a people-focused boy who thrives on connection and will happily lean in for pats or follow you around to be part of whatever you’re doing. Excitable, enthusiastic, and confident, Cliffy greets life with curiosity and energy, making him a joy to watch as he settles into home life. He would do best as an only dog or with a calm, compatible canine companion where he can continue to build confidence and enjoy a consistent routine. Cliffy is best suited to a home with children aged 10+ who can respect his space and enthusiasm. He is not suited to homes with cats, elderly residents, or apartment living, as he will benefit from a secure yard and room to stretch out and relax. With the right environment and guidance, Cliffy will blossom into a loyal, affectionate companion who brings plenty of personality, fun, and love to his forever home. Cliffy has Osteoarthritis in his right hock, this isn't currently bothering him. Cliffy has 0% vision and has a condition called PRA.

Micky ARP

3 years old

Micky is a handsome and affectionate greyhound with a calm and gentle nature. This sweet boy loves spending time with his people, seeking eye contact and wanting to please.

5 years old

Bones may carry a name that sounds a little spooky, but there is nothing frightening about this gentle 5-year-old boy — quite the opposite.

Friendly and easy-going, he is the kind of dog who simply makes you feel good to be around. On the practical side, Bones is a dream to manage — well-behaved on lead and easy to handle in every sense. He is a versatile boy when it comes to his future home and could settle happily as a solo dog or alongside a canine companion of a similar size.

If you are looking for a loving, undemanding companion with just enough puppyish charm to keep you smiling, Bones might be exactly the boy you have been waiting for.
