Lad

4 years old

Lad is a gentle soul with a loving heart. This quiet, calm greyhound enjoys a relaxed lifestyle and is happiest spending time with his people, soaking up affection and enjoying the comfort of a peaceful home. Although Lad is blind, he navigates life with quiet determination and, with patience and support, forms strong bonds with those who earn his trust. His sweet nature and easy-going temperament make him a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loyal and affectionate friend. Lad is seeking a special home with adults or children aged 10 years and over who can provide the understanding and consistency he needs. He could happily live as an only dog or with a compatible canine companion and may also suit a home with a cat. Because of his blindness, Lad will benefit from a secure environment and owners committed to helping him build confidence through routine and guidance. He is not suited to apartment living and would thrive in a home where he has space to relax and feel secure. If you're looking for a kind-hearted greyhound who will reward your care with unwavering devotion, Lad is ready to find his forever family. Lad has PRA which affects his eyes. He has very limited vision and will eventually go completely blind. His strong sense of smell and hearing help him with his day-to-day life, and he's such a bright friendly boy. Lad also has diabetes, which is controlled with daily medication.

With her adaptable nature and comfortable attitude towards urban environments, she may also be suitable for apartment living.

Meet Agupi, a beautiful 5-year-old black greyhound with one of the most unique faces you'll ever see. Her striking markings give the appearance of a face that's half grey and half black, making her truly unforgettable. Combined with her sweet expression and happy smile, she's guaranteed to turn heads wherever she goes. Agupi is the definition of an easy-going companion. Calm, sensible and wonderfully mature, she takes life in her stride and seems completely unfazed by whatever the world throws her way. On walks, she is an absolute delight to handle, happily strolling along on a loose lead at your pace without pulling. In fact, when her handler slipped in the mud during a walk, Agupi calmly stood and waited, proving just how patient and thoughtful she is! Friendly, social and affectionate, Agupi loves spending time with people and enjoys building a close connection with her handlers. She often seeks eye contact, responds beautifully to guidance and genuinely wants to please. While she enjoys treats and cuddles, she's equally happy simply being by your side. Many people comment that she looks like she's smiling while out on her walks, such is her cheerful and content nature. Although calm and well-mannered on lead, Agupi still has a fun side and can become excited in the yard, occasionally jumping up when she's feeling particularly happy. Her affectionate, sooky nature makes her a wonderful companion for families, couples, singles or even older adopters looking for an easy-to-manage greyhound. Agupi may suit apartment living thanks to her relaxed temperament and excellent lead manners. She would also be suitable for a home with children aged 5 years and over. If you're looking for a gentle, wise and loving companion with a one-of-a-kind face and an outstanding temperament, Agupi could be the perfect greyhound for you. Agupi has an old hock fracture with arthritis present, but this doesn't slow her down!
