Greys As Pets

YES ... Greyhounds Make Great Pets

This page is dedicated to the holder of my heart......My Barney,

(not quite the knight in shining armor I was expecting, infact he

arrived in the back of a Volkswagon Golf instead of on the great white horse

from my dreams !!!) Huge thanks to Sarah (Clare Animal Welfare) for

rescuing and bringing him to the kennels on that cold dark night in

November 2005. Little did either of us realise as we brought him through

the gates that we were in fact introducing him to his new home :o)))

The problem with allowing a greyhound into your heart and home is that you

soon realise that ‘just one’ is not enough, do not say you were not warned -

above is Rosie, who I refer to as “my handbag greyhound” as she is so small,

she is the second greyhound to become a permanent part of our family :o))

A Happy Home Is A Home With A Hound ......

Make Today The Day You Adopt Your Best Friend

We all know that greyhounds can run at great speeds but there are very few

who know that they also make great pets. They do not require huge

exercise as one would expect nor do they have big appetites and in the

majority of cases they are much more mannerly and calm than the normal/common

dog breeds that people choose to bring into their lives. A huge amount

of greyhounds never make the grade for racing and many more are retired due

to injuries, lack of speed/interest and/or age. Whatever your circumstances

there is a greyhound awaiting your call that will suit your lifestyle.

If you have any doubts or queries about living with a greyhound your local

rescue will help you and/or give you the contact details of someone else

who can. It is also normally possible to speak to people who have

already adopted one so that you can hear their experiences first hand.

There are many rescues around Ireland that rescue and rehome greyhounds,

therefore there is always a wide variety of these deities available for adoption.

Have a look at the greyhound section on Irish Animals website

to see some of the beauties that are patiently awaiting your call :o))

Of course all we have just said about greyhounds can equally be applied

to lurchers ... we wouldn't like them to think we were leaving them out !!
