Handsome blue boy Barney has lived in an apartment with another greyhound in foster and is ready to find his forever home! Updates from foster: "Barney has settled in really well and is making great progress.
Some of the things we’ve observed include: He is good with other dogs and respects their boundaries. He is initially shy and hesitant when meeting new people or in new environments, but he becomes comfortable quite quickly once given a little time. He is food motivated. He is learning to use stairs and is picking it up quickly. He is comfortable using a lift. He is a real velcro dog and loves affection and being close to his people. He sleeps well through the night. He walks well on lead when accompanied by another dog and appears to follow our greyhound Millie around a far bit. He loves playing with toys and enjoys chasing after them. He is a very good boy and super gentle. Having another greyhound I believe has been really helpful for him. He has been alone for 5 hours with another greyhound in the home and is becoming more comfortable and playful."
Barney has spent time in foster care, can be left alone for up to 5 hours with their resident greyhound, and would enjoy a backyard or apartment to call his own.
A home with older children would be suitable Barney, however a laid back dog of any size would be a lovely companion to help him build his pet skills and help him adapt to his new life with his forever family.
