Angie ~ 4.5yo Perfect Little Greyhound Possibly Cat Trainable

ANGIE

Angie is a little greyhound girl who is 4.5 years old. She has a soft black coat that will be beautifully sleek and shiny once she gains a bit more weight and condition.

Angie is a little angel and acts younger than her 4+ years. She likes to play and goof around with other dogs, and is now learning what toys are all about. She is very sweet and relishes human company, always wanting to be where you are.



Little Angie is currently in a foster home where she is learning all about the home comforts. She is now fully housetrained and is well behaved in the car. She walks great on the lead, though can be a little nervous of noisy traffic such as passing trucks or tractors. She has been no bother with all the dogs she has met, being fine with them all, male and female, large and small. A preliminary test has also shown that Angie may be cat friendly. This will be tested more thoroughly before she is classed as suitable to live in a home with cats, however, but cat homes are free to enquire about her now.

Like most greyhounds, Angie will not need a huge amount of exercise. She will be content with two 20min walks a day and perhaps a chance to stretch her legs offlead in a secure area once or twice a week.

Angie is a very easy little girl to have, and embodies everything that makes greyhounds greyt pets - she is calm, sweet natured, loving, sociable, friendly, non destructive and lazy in the home. She is really everything you might be looking for in a dog in one little package.

In general greyhounds are calm, mannerly dogs who are well used to being handled. They can fit very well in to a wide range of different lifestyles and usually adjust to the home life very quickly. Their soft, easy going nature often makes them ideal to live in a family with children, while their love of lazing around and low exercise requirements can make them perfect for the elderly. Greyhounds also dont shed as much as other dog breeds such as retrievers or labradors, and this can make them suitable to live with allergy sufferers.

Angie is currently in a foster home in Ireland, and can be transported via Kerry Greyhounds to the UK or Europe if a suitable home offer comes up. This will be organised and paid for by Kerry Greyhounds, and we ask only for a donation to help cover costs. She will be neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, de-flea'd and wormed prior to adoption and a homecheck will be required as part of the adoption procedure.

If you are interested in adopting Angie, please email me on tamakin_84@yahoo.co.uk for our information pack and adoption questionnaire which must be filled out prior to adoption. Thanks!

We assess the suitability of all home offers, and we have homed greyhounds in Ireland, the UK, Europe and the USA. We work hard to match the right hound to the right home, and a homecheck will be required as part of the adoption procedure.

Very pretty

**UPDATE 08/2010**

Angie has now travelled across to the UK where she waits for her forever home. She is in foster care and is a delight to have around, being easy going and friendly by nature. Angie can get a bit spooked by loud traffic, particularly big trucks or tractors, and this is being worked on in her foster home now. Angie is brilliant with all dogs, and will be cat tested shortly to see if she’s suitable to live in a home with them.




**UPDATE 08/2010b**

Angie is settling now in her new UK foster home, and gets along brilliantly with the fosterer’s other dogs. She was a little shy for the first few days, but has gained confidence from having the other dogs around her, following their lead whenever she is unsure. Because of this we feel Angie would do best in a home with another dog(s) for her to lean on and learn from.

Sadly Angie has shown to be not 100% safe with cats, and as such she is not suitable to share her home with them. She is a lovely little girl, though, and is going to make a superb family member of a (cat-free!) home.

Angie is currently in a foster home in Norfolk, UK. She is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, de-flea'd and wormed prior to adoption and a homecheck will be required as part of the adoption procedure.

Angie is now adopted!
