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. If you would like to know more about this lovely chap get in touch with us!

Pedro is a lovely 2 years old boy, cute as a button! He was surrendered to the SGS team after his previous owner could not get him to settle in his new home in a busy suburban area with a lot of traffic near by. He is settling in well in his foster home in a quieter rural area.
He is timid but also lovely and affectionate and having the company of his foster brother and foster sister does give him confidence. He would be a food thief, given a chance :) and his height gives him the advantage to counter surf easily :) House training is going well, if he is let out regularly. To continue his house training, he will need access to a secure garden. Pedro travels very well in the car, though at the moment he needs to be lifted in.
When he arrived to his foster home he was too worried to go on proper walks. We are happy to say that he is now doing better and better on his regular walks, though he does get a little worried when he sees people in the distance. He enjoyes playtime in the garden with other dogs. Pedro is a very gentle dog and will have a playful side once he begins to relax more. We are absolutely sure that, with love and time, he will fluorish into the amazing, gentle and playful four legged friend that he is!

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!

Dappy was surrendered to SGS a few days before Christmas, through no fault of her own. Shortly after she arrived in foster, we also made arrangements to take her brother, Badger, into our care and you will be able to read more
about him soon. Dappy is a lovely, friendly girl, who is now living in a foster home in
Glasgow. She’s adapted well to city life and has mastered the stairs up to her foster
carer’s flat with no issues! She’s a slightly older lady at 8 years although you wouldn’t
know it as she’s as fit as a fiddle :)

Despite having been around other greyhounds her whole life, Dappy has adapted well to
life as an only dog and can be rehomed with other dogs or on her own. She originally lived
with children and got on well in a family home. It’s a definite no to cats or small furries
however! She walks well on the lead, sleeps in her bed all night and is clean in the flat!
She’s an all-round darling girl and we’ll continue to provide updates as her foster journey
continues!

Sydney is an ex racer who came into our care only a few days ago. He is a lovely laid back dog, good with children and with all sorts of people. He is keen to meet dogs when on walks and seems to not like crying babies (heard one on tv :)). An easy dog in every way!

Badger came into SGS care recently and is settling into his foster home very well. Like his
sister Dappy, Badger was surrendered to SGS through no fault of his own. He’s being fostered in Edinburgh and is adjusting well to the new sights and sounds of the city!

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, although is getting on
well as an only dog, and can be rehomed with or without other dogs. He also lived in a family home with children and got on well in this environment.

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! He is proving to be a lovely calm boy and we look forward to updating his profile soon!

This gorgeous 2 years old girl arrived at the SGS kennels not long ago and already she has quickly proved herself to be an absolute delight! Ana is a super friendly pup who loves her food, walks well on the lead and has been clean in her kennel. She has just been moved to a foster home near Glasgow, where she is getting on well with her foster broether. We will update her profile as soon as we are ready for a full assessment.

Max is a handsome little lurcher, who has been handed in to SGS and so we don't know much about his past. He has been welcomed to a foster home only few days ago, so we will update his profile as soon as we know more about him. For now we can say with certainty that Max is a very playful pup, full of beans. He slept well through the night from day one, and his foster parents are so far having lots of fun with him and are pretty impressed by this boy. Suffices to say that the attached GIF of max playing has been taken about 12 minutes after he set foot in his new foster home!
