One gorgeous young greyhound crop up after another Free to Good home.It does make you wonder how many of these greyhounds actually get a good home. I am the fortunate owner of three ex-racing greyhounds. I found one of mine on the internet. for the sum of what amounts to fifty pounds I picked him up. He was in a dreadful state. Too thin almost emaciated urine scalding on both thighs belly and chest. His teeth were blakish grey from tartar he had a belly full of intestinel parasites. This was on the 18 December 2008. Tristan as I have named him did not even have a coat to keep him warm this thin wraith of a greyhound is what I was offered needless to say. I could not leave him there with an owner who simply diden´t care about him. So I took him home. I have no regrets though To see him today happy well fed and the hairs on his bald thighs have almost grown back his teeth are clean and shining he is content it has not been without hard work and lots of tlc but he is worth it. Tristan is one of my three greyhounds all of them surplus to requirements all of them needing homes. I for one could not turn away from any of them. So living we these once unwanted greyhounds has been a lifechanger. However people need to understand that it takes time to rehabilitate detrain a greyhound straight from kennels the trick is never to give up and to give your new greyhound what he has never known before a real home and someone who loves him for who he is but please do the reading about greyhounds first before you decide to give one a home. They are easy to keep and they adapt very quickly to a home inviroment. Their preydrive might be through the roof so do not let them run in areas that are not fenced in all around. Most racing greyhounds have not been socialised with other breeds of dog now in some of them it might be a concern. Introduce them gradually to new things use a halti head collar for easy control and safety. just make sure it fitts the head of your greyhound used with a broard greyhound collar and leash ensures a safe walk. remeber that a small fluffy dog on the end of a leash might trigger his preydrive now your greyhound is not evil he just can´t see the diffrence between the fluffy dog on the leash and the mechanical lure he has chased for so long. he can be detrained but it takes time patience and understanding.Greyhounds are wonderful sighthounds and worth the time and effort. I have no regrets and look where it got me. This is not surprising at all the greyhound database is teeming with greyhounds offered Free to Good Home. if you look in the classifieds.

I am just about getting over coming home to an empty house. She would have been 15 this June. I keep looking at different sites to see if I am ready for another dog. So many dogs look so uinhappy, where their owners have seperated or died, everyone thinks of children in such circumstances, no-one seems to think 0f the dog.
