Patrick

Hi, I’m Patrick 👋 I’m a handsome ex-racing Greyhound looking for a calm and understanding adult-only home where I can enjoy my retirement. Life after racing is all a bit new to me, so I’ll need someone patient who can help me take things at my own pace while I figure out the world. I do have quite a strong prey drive (it’s in my nature!), which means I can’t live with cats, small dogs, birds, or anything small and fluffy. I may be able to live with another dog my size who has a similar calm temperament, provided we are introduced properly here at the centre. One thing I’d really love is a secure garden with 6ft fencing so I can have a good run around and show off my zoomies – I promise they’re worth watching! My ideal home would also have carpets or rugs, as I can be a bit like Bambi on ice and sometimes find laminate or other hard flooring quite slippery. Because I can be a little nervous around busy roads and traffic, I’d feel much more comfortable in a semi-rural home where things are quieter. With time, patience, and reassurance, I’ll soon grow in confidence and show what a wonderful companion I can be. I am looking for an adult-only home and would suit someone who can continue the training and support I’ve been receiving at the centre. We would be happy to discuss this in more detail with potential adopters to help ensure a smooth transition into home life. I’d be a great match for someone who already knows a bit about Greyhounds, or someone willing to learn about what makes us special. Once I feel settled, I’ve got lots of love to give and I’m really looking forward to finding my forever home 🐾 Pat 🐾
