Darrel – A Big Softie With a Big Personality

Darrel is one of our larger boys, and he has a wonderfully affectionate nature. During a recent vet visit he charmed everyone he met — greeting people politely, seeking out cuddles from staff and visitors, and even trying to persuade a retriever to play with him. He was full of curiosity, climbing onto chairs to look out of the windows and gently nudging any passing vet nurse for more attention.

He enjoys his walks and is very friendly with all of our volunteer dog walkers. Darrel is an inquisitive lad and is always one of the first to get up and see what’s happening around him. In the kennel he is calm, quiet, and a little nosey, and he has shown a playful side that we’re sure will continue to grow in a home environment. He also has a preference for eating his meals in the afternoon.

Darrel’s only real challenge is his reaction to horses and foxes. The polite, well-mannered greyhound can become rather over-excited when he sees them. This is something that will need ongoing work, particularly if he is likely to encounter horses regularly in his new home.

Pending successful introductions, Darrel could live with a friendly female greyhound or another suitable breed. He is a lovely boy with a big heart and plenty of character, and he will make a wonderful companion for the right home.
