Toto ~ Super People Loving Boy – 4yo Brindle Greyhound

TOTO

**UPDATED: APRIL 2012**

Toto is a 4 year old greyhound boy who has never raced. He first came to us 2 years ago with his identical sister Tiny. Both hounds were adopted, but since then sadly Toto’s owners have decided he is not suitable for them as he has sadly found children to be unpredictable and a bit frightening. Toto is a beautiful brindle boy who has been well looked after throughout his life, and is in great health.



~ Personality ~
Toto is an affectionate, confident hound. He is sociable, enjoys being out, and absolutely loves people. He has always been treated well by people and greatly enjoys human company, often preferring it to other dogs. He is getting to know his foster mum now and knows she will protect him if something scary happens.



Toto is also very inquisitive and eager to learn about his surroundings. He can be a bit of a clown too and loves playing with squeaky toys. He is in short a lovely boy with a big character and has a lot to offer. Given his love for people, with the right family Toto has amazing potential to be the bestest best friend anyone could ask for.



~ In the Home ~
Toto is well used to living in a home, having spent 2 years in his previous home. He is now in a foster care and is recovering from the ordeal of having to uproot and move to a new home. He sleeps soundly through the night, though tends to be a bit of an early bird! He can be left completely alone with no issues, and doesn’t chew.



~ Other Animals ~
Toto is good at greeting dogs of all shapes and sizes. He will happily say hello to everyone he meets (human or canine) when he is out on his walks, but will not make a fuss if he doesn’t get to say hello either. Toto could share his home with another dog but a laid back female companion would work best. Alternatively he can live as an only dog very happily. He is not suitable to live with cats, but does not have a high prey drive.



~ Out and About ~
Toto walks well on the lead and doesn’t pull. He is used to going to public events such as rescue fundraisers and is always at his best behaviour. Like any greyhound, Toto does not need much more than two 30min walks a day with some offlead romping once or twice a week. He is very content to spend the rest of his day snoozing on the sofa.



~ Where Can I Live? ~
Because of his uneasiness around children, Toto will need a home without young children and without the possibility of children in the future. He is fine with teenagers and young adults, it is simply the unpredictable nature of young children that can unnerve him. He also enjoys his peace and may not like getting woken up suddenly, which could happen with a young child that doesn’t understand his nature.

Toto is used to being an only dog and can be left happily as long as he gets a toilet break halfway through the day. Though friendly when meeting other dogs, he does not always require their company and so he is ideal as an only dog.

With the right family this boy has so much potential and loyal love to give, we hope that he finds his forever home very soon. What he needs most of all is to quickly find his new home before he gets attached to his foster family and has to get uprooted once again.



~ Where Am I? ~
Toto is currently in a foster home in Norfolk. He can be homed anywhere in the UK, but please note that you may be required to travel to his foster home to meet and collect him.

~ Want To Adopt Me? ~
Toto is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, de-flea'd and wormed and a homecheck will be required as part of the adoption procedure.

~~ KERRY GREYHOUNDS UK ~~

Kerry Greyhounds UK is a small voluntary organisation that is based in Norfolk, England. It focuses on rehoming unwanted Irish greyhounds and lurchers, as huge numbers are bred in Ireland each year and homes are few and far between. KGUK operates through a network of volunteers spaced over Ireland and the UK. We can look after approximately 30 dogs at any one time in both kennels and foster homes.

Each dog is neutered, vaccinated, & microchipped before being adopted (unless stated otherwise).
We assess the suitability of all home offers, and we have homed greyhounds in all corners of the UK.
