Star

Star is a handsome bouwho has recently retired from racing and is now looking for a loving home to begin his next chapter. Having only just arrived with us, Star can be a little unsure and nervous in new surroundings -which is completely understandable after such a big change. Despite this, he has already shown himself to be a very friendly and gentle boy who is enjoying getting to know his carers. Star walks well on a lead and harness and has been calm when passing other dogs, often giving a friendly wag of his tail. However, as he has never been formally introduced to other dogs, his behaviour around them is still unknown. Due to his background as a racing Greyhound, he will need to be the only pet in the home. Like many ex-racers, Star has likely never experienced life in a home environment. This means his adopters will need to be patient and understanding as he learns new routines, including housetraining and settling into everyday home life. With time and reassurance, Star has all the potential to become a wonderful companion. He is currently eating well and has shown no signs of resource guarding. Star has been briefly checked by our vet and will require a dental, and he also has some hair loss on his legs and body which we will continue to monitor. Star weighs just under 30kg and stands approximately 72cm at the shoulder…a tall, elegant boy with lots of love to give. As Star has only been with us a few days, we are still getting to know him and will update his profile as we learn more. If you’re ready to offer a calm, patient home and help Star adjust to life beyond racing, he could be the perfect addition to your family.
