Minstrel at Greyhound Awareness League

A Male Black Lurcher who is age ~2

Good With Children Not Good With Other Pets Not Good With Dogs

Contact Shelter Adoption Form

Pet Location: Kennels

Minstrel is a lurcher, who is approximately two years old and is a gorgeous, affectionate and playful boy. In the home environment he is calm and relaxed. He loves cuddles and is fully housetrained.

Minstrel has had some basic training in the past but has also taken to clicker training with enthusiasm! He loves to interact with people, although he can be a little shy around men initially, and responds well to praise and encouragement. Minstrel bonds strongly with people and he does have some mild separation issues but these could be improved on greatly within a home environment.

We don’t think that Minstrel has had the opportunity to learn about things that he may encounter outside of the home environment and as a result finds this stressful and is not comfortable with other dogs. Minstrel would have to be the only dog in the home and he does not like cats.

Minstrel needs a special home with someone understanding who would take the time to help him gain confidence, to settle and enable him to carry on with his training plan; this would be fully supported by a Canine Behaviourist who currently is working with him. This is what she has to say about him;

‘Minstrel is a lovely boy who needs a calm environment to improve his confidence and to continue with his training. He took to agility and clicker training instantly and is improving greatly on his impulse control. Anyone who considers taking him into their home would see that with patience and understanding he has huge potential’.

Rumo at Scottish Greyhound Sanctuary

A Male Brindle Greyhound who is age 6 years

Contact Shelter Adoption Form

Pet Location: In foster

We are seeking a very special home for a gorgeous 6 year old gentleman of a dog. Sadly due to a change in his family’s circumstances they are no longer able to look after him. He’s a stunning boy and has lived with all different breeds previously, although not with cats and he’s not spent much time around kids.

His new home needs to be quiet and with someone around most of the time because the poor boy has a heart condition. He needs a garden to potter around in as his exercise has to be limited and he will be on medication for life. He will be ideal for someone who leads a quiet life, who doesn't mind not going for long walks and who will give and receive love and cuddles. He loves the sofa, roaches a lot and chitters at the drop of a hat. He's just such a gentle, friendly, forgiving soul.

We would prefer him to be adopted but will consider long term fostering as an option. SGS may be able to contribute to ongoing costs for treatment. If you think you can provide this type of home and are interested in finding out more please contact us. Thank you.

Contact Shelter

Shelter Location: 26 Seafield Road East Edinburgh Midlothian EH15 1EH

Star has been with us for some time now and we would love to find him a forever home. He is a friendly and affectionate boy, who loves to play and have fun. His favourite things are footballs, cheese, and having a good scratch behind his left ear. While here he has learnt to walk politely on a harness and lead, to play fetch, to sit on command and to make eye contact when given the “watch me” command. He loves learning and would like to carry on with his training when he is in his new home. Unfortunately, he didn’t have the best start in life so he can be nervous when he's out and about, particularly around other dogs and children. He is looking for an experienced owner who has the time and commitment to do behaviour work with him, and help him gain some much needed confidence. He would like to live in a home without children, where he can be the only pet.

Potter may be an older gent but don't let his age put you off, he is full of beans and doesn't act his age. He is looking for a home with calm and confident owners who will give him time and space to settle in. He doesn't like to be left alone for long so we are looking for a home where someone is around for most of the day.

Type of home needed

Potter appears to have some basic training but has the potential to learn more. He does need to learn to walk nicely on the lead though as he does pull but is getting better. He could live with people over the age of 16 years that can help with his training. He is a very active little dog so would be best suited to someone fit and able to keep him busy and take him plenty of walks.

More about me

Potter would love a secure garden to play in and continue his training. He would prefer to be the only pet in the home. He can get frustrated easily but our training and behaviour advisors will be happy to share how best to manage this in the home.
