Well, our aim is to take greyhounds “from kennel to couch”. In four days however,  Lucy has moved “from kennel to human bed”.

“For a girl who’s spent many years in a kennel environment Lucy has taken to pet life like a duck to water. She is gentle, friendly, happy, and very well-mannered. She is a fast learner, not a voracious eater, and she absolutely loves her walks. She is excellent on lead but just needs to learn that sometimes you need to walk in a straight line and not try to sniff and say hello to everything you see! She is so waggy with a tail like a ring-tail possum’s, although a lot longer! She is in beautiful condition with a shiny soft coat, no scars, no bald spots! Of course she is blue and of medium build so she turns heads wherever she goes. She visited the school today and was very good about lots of kids coming up and patting her – she loves it all! She has discovered the joys and comfort of a human bed and she will gladly sleep on it whenever she is inside, so she’s quite independent in that way – it’s a nice change not to have a dog follow you around all day like my girl does! Some time in her life she must have learnt that a clap means NO because claps scare her a bit, which is also good to know for any training she may need – which won’t be much because she’s a such a clever, sensitive girl that the trick is NOT to clap accidentally (as the kids sometimes do) for fear of giving her the wrong message! I think she’d be great as a single dog but she’s also great with other dogs in the house, and because (thanks to the clap!) she can so easily be taught not to do things like jump (which she hasn’t yet picked up from my two!) – I think she’d be as good with older people as she is with young children.”Lucy will be available for adoption early July.
