7. Eddie
Eddie is a 5 year old Greyhound who since retiring from his racing career is looking for a new home to put his paws up in! He's everything you'd want in a long dog! Graceful, friendly, playful, very loving, and super handsome to boot. He walks perfectly on lead and really enjoys his adventures. Like all ex-racers, he happily wears his muzzle out and about. He's completely manageable around other dogs but doesn't like to share the limelight so he's looking for a home as the only pet. He's housetrained already and loves chilling on the sofa, so once he's settled in his new home, you'll have a sofa buddy for life!
8. Major
Major is just a big snuggly pudding of a dog! He loves being around people and never stops showering his friends in love and affection. He takes a couple of meets before he'll show his true 'soft-lad' character, but with a few tasty treats in your pocket you'll be snuggling on the sofa in no time! At 11 years old he's proved that you CAN teach an old dog new tricks! He used to be super strong on lead but now walks beautifully. He can still be strong if an exciting smell catches his attention but most of the time he's good as gold. He can get playful when the mood takes him, but mostly he likes to chill. He's fully housetrained too. He gets on brilliantly with other dogs out and about and enjoys having walking buddies or play date visits from his doggy friends.
9. Joey
Meet our super star Joey! He is an 18 month old lurcher who arrived at Dogs Trust as a young and unruly adolescent with little self control. After a lot of hard work and a dedication from the staff Joey has come on leaps and bounds and is ready to find his special someone. Joey is a friendly dude but can get over excited and jump up but he has been working hard on his self control and the difference is amazing. Joey needs to build up a firm relationship with his new owner and to do this he will need regular visits to the centre over a period of time. Joey is such an affectionate boy once the bond is there, he will make a friend for life in the right home.
10. Beau
If you're looking for a fun and energetic dog and have a real passion for training, then let us introduce you to Beau. He's a 1-year-old Lurcher who is bursting with potential. A very unsettled start to his life has left him with some anxieties that his new family will need to understand and help him work on. He's a very friendly lad and likes plenty of fuss and attention but can get overly giddy. Being rather strong, this does mean that being around young children wouldn't be suitable. Over 16's will be fine however. He can be worried by unfamiliar people entering his home, so a family with few visitors will be best. He can also be worried by other dogs, however we are working on this with him. He's super smart and loves doing training tasks. If you keep his brain exercised, then you'll have one very happy boy!
11. May
Calling all rural homes! Gorgeous May is one of life's worriers, and after much deliberation, she has decided that city life is not for her. Upon viewing many episodes of 'Location, Location, Location', she's set her sights on a retirement home in the countryside and she's now hoping to find a family that will help her achieve her dream. A quiet home with lots of garden space, so that May can continue with her hobby of 'gardening' (some might describe the hobby as 'digging')... so she'll need a family who are happy for her to have some say in the garden arrangement!
12. Billy
Billy is looking for a home where his owners are around all of the time. He will need a longer settling in period until he feels comfortable. Owners with experience of the Patterdale breed would be ideal and also willing to help Billy with some basic training. He will need to be walked in quieter dog populated areas but he is friendly with dogs once he has settled in. Billy is an active boy and loves his walks, he will also need a secure garden where he can burn off some energy. Billy is friendly with people and could live with sensible children over the age of 12 years.
