About Archie
Archie is a lovely ex-racing Greyhound who has found himself back with us after previously being adopted. He is an incredibly sweet and affectionate boy who absolutely loves being around his people. Despite his size, he is a big softie who enjoys cuddles, attention and spending time with his family.
Archie doesn’t always realise just how big and strong he is, so he is looking for a home with children aged 8 or over. He can become very excited when children are playing, so his new family will need to help him understand his size and teach him appropriate manners.
Our staff have found Archie to be a very gentle boy who walks beautifully on a harness. He knows how to wait at the road and travels well in the car. He can walk and socialise with other dogs but he will prefer to be the only dog in the home environment.
Archie can find being left alone difficult, so he will need a family who can patiently build his confidence with this. Above all, Archie is a cuddly, loving and playful boy who has so much affection to give. He may be a big boy, but he’s got an even bigger heart, and we would love to see him find the right family.
