Foster Hounds

Nando is a lovely big and very affectionate boy. He loves his food, hanging out with people and has proven to be a very polite lad who is good with other dogs. He also adores to bask in the sun and have some grass to lie on. Like many greyhounds he is very partial to his bed, and will snooze on it also when outdoors.
Nando has a plate in his leg that needs to be removed and has just landed with his foster family who will look after him during this period and we'll keep you updated with his progress.

Nando has a very big heart and is an easy dog who will make a great addition to a lucky family!

Bonnie has just been surrendered into SGS care and luckily a kind foster family was quickly ready to welcome her. Bonnie is just two years old, a little more than a pup. So far she has been very curious about her new surroundings, but gentle. In these pictures you can see her getting to know her new foster sister. We will update her profile once we get to know her a little better.

Kitty is a beautiful three years old girl. She is medium sized and has a lovely playful personality. She loves to play with her toys in the garden. Loves food too - will like any treat you give her :) She enjoys her walks and meeting other dogs and people. Kitty gets on with all breeds she has met so far (including spaniels and terriers). If other dogs approach her politely she is polite back. She likes her comforts and being looked after by her humans, and she is very partial to chin rubs. She is clean in the house, provided she is let out after meal time. This lovely girl has a little spring in her step and a proclivity to get into mischief! If you want to know more about this joyful girl get in touch with us!

Chloe is an adorable 3 year old girl. She has arrived at the kennel together with Lou. Chloe is a very friendly dog, she loves being outside, where she can get all the interesting smells. She is a foodie and eats very quickly - the bowl gets emptied at record speeds! Not as fast as Teddy but...she is up there :) Chloe is a confident dog, especially for her young age, but she does not like the sound of raised voices. She has just been moved to a foster home, so we will soon learn more abou her.

Pablo is a handsome 5 year old boy who has just arrived in a foster home. From the kennel we found him to be a happy lad who is great with people. He can be sometimes be a little strong on the lead, but only out of excitement, as he so loves to explore the world around him! Loves his food and has good table manners as well. We will update his profile once we know a little more about him, but we get a sense that he will be a nice and easy dog to share you life with :)

Toots has only recently been moved to a foster home. She is a lovely 4 years old girl, small-ish in size. Toots might well be a small girl, but rest assured, she knows what she wants and when she wants it ...and she will let you know! She is a little shy at first and so she needs gentle introductions, but she warms up quickly...and that's when her personality starts to come across :) She is a foodie, and good with all other SGS dogs she has met so far. We think that she might need to be slowly introduced to new (loud) noises. Toots is an adorable scoundrel, with plenty personality. She is ready to adopt a family of well-behaved humans so get in touch if you would like to be the lucky ones! We will add more detail to this description as we learn more about her personality

Matt was recently surrendered into SGS's care due to changing circumstances and through no fault of his own.

He is still on the look out for a foster home due to the lack of foster places available, or even better for a new family to welcome him into their lives.

We have yet to do a full assessment but this gorgeous boy loves being with people, especially seeking the attention of his humans, is clean in the house and has a good appetite. He is a little reactive to small dogs but has happily lived with another greyhound before.

We will update his profile when we know more but we're already happy to receive enquiries about him.

Sweety is a 6 years old girl, and her name describes her perfectly 😊 Here is what we know about her from her life in kennel. Unlike most other dogs who come into our care she has started taking treats from Michelle’s hand almost straight away, which bodes well. She is such a gorgeous girl, and so sooo happy and affectionate. She has not yet learnt to play, but we think that she will be a playful dog, she just still needs a little time to show her full personality. She is very clean and tidy in her kennel and loves her food. She has just been moved to a foster home so we hope to soon see more of her personality and we will be sure to report back :)

Sandie was recently surrendered to SGS's care. As she looked to be a perfect match for someone who had been waiting a while for the right dog, a meeting was arranged and she was immediately reserved.

Fran is a medium sized young girl. She has been welcomed to a foster home few days ago and her foster parents describe her as a wee firecracker :) She loves to do her zoomies in the garden and getting to know the neighbourhood. She has decided that she does not like wooden floors - very common thing for greyhounds - and so her foster parents are now ordering a runner for her to walk on. For some reason, despite ample choice of beds and sofa, she has elected to snooze on the doormat :) We are sure she will soon learn the comforts of the sofa and we will report back when that happens :)

Aster is a 9-month-old Lurcher with plenty of typical young Lurcher character! She’s a sweet natured and upbeat girl who would love a home with lots of exercise, enrichment and time with her people. She loves having a good run about with like-minded dogs and enjoys the typical Lurcher play-style of zooming and chasing!

After a good walk, Aster settles very well in the home. She’s still very much a puppy and isn’t ready to be left for long periods yet. Aster will need a secure garden and an active home that can continue to help her grow into the lovely adult dog she’s going to be.

She is currently 24”tts / 21kg and is in foster in the Scottish Borders.
