May - 2024

Dizzy has spent a few days in a home environment. Unfortunately he found the experience very overwhelming. Dizzy would be best suited to a home with a retired couple who don't have the added pressure of working from home or working away from home. He will take time to settle into a home environment and is going to need a lot of patience and understanding to get him through those initial first few weeks. He has an anxious temperament which means any sort of change is difficult for him but he can overcome it with time and patience. Once back in the familiar kennel environment he calmed immediately and after a snooze settled straight back into the kennel routine. He may find it easier in a home to be restricted to one room with a strict but calm daily routine. For some dogs too much access to space is overwhelming. When he arrived at the kennels in June 2023 after an initial stressy first couple of weeks he settled down. We believe that Dizzy would benefit from being in a home environment but it is going to take a special someone to help him get through those first few weeks. He doesn't care about having another dog around, what he needs is his person/s who can ease him into homelife. 

We realise that this may be a tall order to fill to find him a home. However, once settled in a home we feel he will be happier than in kennels. 

December - 2023

Dizzy is as unique as each snowflake that falls in winter. There’s not really an easy  way to describe him. He’s not keen on going for walks, he’s not fond of being out in the fields for more than a minute or two. He want’s a kennel mate but at the same time ignores them or gets a bit grumpy with them in his space. He is vocal and dramatic at mealtimes as well as when he’s been out the field too long (in his opinion). In a lot of ways Dizzy acts like a much younger more inexperienced dog. Despite him being a bit Meh about having a kennel mate, we think in a home environment he would benefit from having a stable and established Greyhound girl to guide him. This would hopefully make walks and outside time more enjoyable for him. Currently walk times are short as he is spooked by a lot of things even though we are semi-rural. 

He does have an excellent pathetic face and is usually found sitting down leaning in the front corner of his kennel. His propensity to look hard done by wins him a lot of fuss and affectionate from visitors to the kennels. He is an affectionate dog and does seem to like human company and would prefer someone around most of the time, or at least until he has settled and is happier in his new environment. 

The ideal home for Dizzy would probably be either a couple who are retired or a home with a couple of children with parent/s who work from home. This way he gets the human companionship that he likes whilst working with him on being left for short periods of time. 

Dizzy cannot live with cats or other breeds of dog. 

June - 2023

 Although Dizzy is 4 he acts like a younger dog. Dizzy was born, raised and raced from the same kennel. Moving to a different kennel to find his forever home has been a bit of a challenge for him. Although a bit stressed with the change in environment, Dizzy picked up the kennel routine quickly and is starting to enjoy mealtimes now that he is used to the different food. Dizzy still hasn't quite worked out what treats are. He currently like smackos (or similar meaty strips) but only if they are broken into small pieces!
