Are you right for Perseus?

Perseus is a beautiful, fun-loving five-year-old Greyhound with a big heart and an even bigger personality. He has spent a short time in a foster home, where he settled in wonderfully and was learning all about life beyond racing. He’s ready to find his forever family and enjoy a well deserved, comfortable retirement. Perseus adores fuss and attention from his favourite people and can be a lively, bouncy boy at times. Because of this, he’d be best suited to a home with confident children aged six and up who are comfortable around larger dogs. He made great progress in his foster home, picking up housetraining quickly and happily entertaining himself with toys or snoozing while his foster carer works. He’d love a big, cosy bed to curl up on and a secure garden where he can enjoy his zoomies! Although he hasn’t been left home alone yet, we believe that with a gradual introduction, he could comfortably be left for a few hours. Perseus travels well in the car and hops in eagerly, always ready for his next adventure. On walks, he wears a muzzle as he still has a strong chase instinct for small animals like cats and squirrels. For now, he’ll need to be the only pet while he continues working on his socialisation. Having mostly met other Greyhounds, he can sometimes feel a bit unsure around dogs of different breeds or sizes, but he’s learning to stay calm with gentle guidance and positive reinforcement.

Is Perseus right for you?

Affectionately known as Percy by his foster carers, this affectionate, cheerful boy is an absolute joy to have around and will make a loving addition to his future home.

How our rehoming process works

Create an account and fill out our application form

In our form you can tell us all about your home, your lifestyle and the kind of dogs you’re interested in. You won’t be applying for a specific dog, but you can add favourites to give us an idea of the dogs you like. We’ll use this information to find a great match for …

Choose a rehoming centre

We’ll also ask you to select a rehoming centre. The team at this centre will look after your application and assess you against all suitable dogs in their care. This doesn’t have to be your nearest centre, but you will need to travel there within a few days once we’ve found …

We’ll review your application

We’ll review your application against the dogs in our care at your chosen centre. If we think we have the right dog for you, we’ll be in touch as soon as possible. If we don’t hear back from you, we will close your application for now, and you can reapply when you’re …

We’ll keep your application open for three months and keep looking for a match

If we don’t have a dog for you right now, we’ll keep your application open for three months and keep you in mind for any new dogs that arrive. If within this time you see another dog you are interested in, you won't need to apply again but you can amend your application by …

When we find a match, we’ll invite you to meet them

If we’ve found a dog who seems right for you, we’ll invite you to come and meet them at the rehoming centre.

If we’ve found a dog who seems right for you, we’ll invite you to come and meet them at the rehoming centre.

Some of the dogs in our care will need to meet potential owners several times to get to know one another. This lets us see you’re compatible and gives you the chance to build a bond before making a commitment to give them a new home. By taking some time at the beginning to make sure everyone’s comfortable, an adoption is more likely to be successful.

We may also arrange a home visit with you, to see how your house will be set up and check that the garden (if you have one) is secure. This may not be necessary, though, especially if you’ve adopted from us before. Where you already have dogs, we may accept a reference from your vet as an alternative.

If we haven’t found the right match, we’ll continue the search together

If we haven’t found the right dog for you within three months, we’ll let you know your application is closed. We’ll invite you to apply again so we have up-to-date information about you, and we’ll keep looking.

We’ll support you to embark on a new life with your dog

When we’ve matched you with a dog, we’ll help you welcome them to your home. After adoption we’ll keep in touch to see how you and the dog are doing. If you need any advice or support, we’re just a phone call away.

With our free behaviour support, our Canine Care …
