Greygal Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Exciting time again in our house as our next foster dog is due in a few days. Not an OC dog I'm afraid but he is an 'oldie' being a 10 year old black greyhound boy who has never been offered a forever home so has spent all his years in kennels. He is having a vet check and dental on Thursday and if all goes well will join us soon after so I hope my two oldies will welcome him nicely and show him the joys of home life. Can't wait to see what he is like and maybe find someone who is looking for an oldie just like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeanne Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 (edited) What a lucky boy, I do feel sorry for all the greyhounds without homes. I hope he settles in well and realises when he's well off. Edited May 17, 2011 by Jeanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greygal Posted May 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Ranger has arrived! Gorgeous big black greyhound minus most teeth but otherwise seems fine. Lots of drinking, panting and pacing as usual with a new dog out of kennels but he jumped into the car for a ride to the river and a walk with my two, laid down for the short journey, didn't try to jump out when the door was opened and walked easily on a lead.....seems like a good start. He's settled down for a rest now and I'm not sure how he'll do with eating his dinner but we'll see. He's actually 9 years old, not 10 and seems like a happy, confident boy with new people (us) and strange dogs (my two). All black except for a little white on his chest and a greying muzzle, a big boy and quite handsome so I'm hoping someone wanting an older hound will come along and snap him up.

safneo Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 What a handsome boy and lovely name. Such a shame he is still waiting. I hope that now he is in a home he will get the publicity he deserves (that means lots of photos) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greygal Posted May 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Do you know how long has he been waiting in kennels for a home? He has been in racing kennels all his life and he is going on for ten now. When he retired he moved into their rehoming section......but nobody ever chose him. I think in the end the kennel owner just gave up on him and let visitors see the younger prettier ones but he is a lovely boy , a bit quiet and shy so probably doesn't sell himself well but he will make a cracking dog for someone wanting a calm, sensible, easy to handle boy.
