Foster Hounds

Dev is a beautiful brindle boy, who starte showing his cuddly side soon after being welcomed to his foster home. He sleeps well through the night, on his own bed. In the morning he will let you know when it is time to wake up, at around 7.30. After giving the alarm clock he loves to start the day with some cuddles and a few spins around the house. The rest of the day, in typical greyhound style, is mostly snoozed away. That is, aside from his walkies, which he loves. He is fully house trained and generally very clean in the house. A lovely cuddly companion, who will sleep the whole day with his head on your lap if you let him :) Dev is also a very communicative fellow, knows perfectly well how to train his humans to get what he wants, we will check with him soon to see how well he has trained his foster parents! He also walks very well on lead, aside from when cats are around. He can be a bit grumpy when meeting dogs on his walks and his foster parents are working on this. He will need to be the only dog in the house. If you would like to know more about this lovely chap get in touch with us!

Nova is an adorable girl who has recently come into the care of one of our amazing fosters. Nova is settling well into the house and is very affectionate. Unsurprisingly, she likes the sofa and bed :) She is good on lead and travels well. She is also house trained and likes people and children. She has so far been left at home on her own for nearly an hour and was sleeping when her foster mum returned - albeit at the front door, but no signs of stress. Nova would be a great addition to any lucky family!

Badger came into SGS care at the end of December and has been in a foster home in Edinburgh since then. He’s settled in well to city life.

Badger is a super friendly boy who adores meeting new people and loves being made a fuss of! He’s got a very sweet nature and, despite being slightly older at 8 years, he’s fit and healthy and full of beans! He previously lived with other greyhounds, and could be homed on his own or with medium or large breeds.

Badger walks well on the lead, sleeps in his own bed overnight and is fully house-trained.
He’s also very affectionate and enjoys snuggling on the sofa with his human! His forever home should be an adult-only and, ideally, with a garden for him to sniff :)

Simba is a beautiful little hound, a rare silver brindle. He has just been welcomed to a lovely foster home, where he is enjoying life with his foster brothers and sisters. He is happy at heart, waggly and inquisitive . He is described as an adorable pooch, who loves to gently play with his soft toys, sniffing new smells, making a nest with his blankets or bedding. He is extremely polite. Michelle at the kennels has worked on building up his confidence and we are happy to report that this little pooch has made quite some progress. If approached gently, he does warm up to new people. He just does not like to be petted too much - at least not straight away - and he will need a family who can respect his boundaries and give him time to come to you rather than the other way around. He is being toilet trained at the moment. He will thrive in a calm, quiet environment, possibly in a rural home away from the hustle and bustle. Simba will need understanding owners who will help him to get to know the world at his own pace and help him build the confidence to show his cheeky side - side which is definitely coming out now that he is in foster :) He might also benefit from having the right canine companion. All this little hound is looking for is a quiet life and lots of love.

Laura has come back to the SGS after a sad change in family circumstances. A lovely girl of 9 yrs, who loves people and is very easy going. She is getting on well with her furry foster siblings and is a joy to live with.
