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.

Larry

5 years old

Meet Larry Long Legs, a 5-year-old black greyhound whose nickname tells you almost everything you need to know! This handsome boy is absolutely enormous, with long legs for days and a presence that turns heads wherever he goes. Some say he's the size of a pony, others reckon he's more like a mini horse, but either way, Larry is one unforgettable greyhound. Despite his impressive stature, Larry is a sweet, friendly and affectionate boy who loves spending time with people. Social, outgoing and full of personality, he's always happy to make new friends and enjoys being included in the action. After a walk, one of Larry's favourite things is settling in for a cosy snuggle with his humans. Larry has a stunning shiny black coat and a confident, personable nature that makes him impossible not to love. He can be strong on the lead, so he'll need owners who are comfortable handling a very large dog and can help him continue his lead manners. While he may look like an athlete, Larry also has a soft and affectionate side. He thrives on human companionship and loves receiving attention from those lucky enough to earn his friendship. Due to his size and strength, Larry would be best suited to a home with robust children aged 10 years and over who can comfortably interact with a dog of his proportions. If you've ever dreamed of owning a gentle mini horse disguised as a greyhound, Larry Long Legs might just be the perfect addition to your family.
