More about Dolly

Meet a greyhound with a party trick up her sleeve - she can sit!

Dolly is a retired racing Greyhound. She is a gentle sweetheart, but can feel worried by new environments and changes. She briefly lived in a home before but struggled with being left alone, so she will need patient owners who are around most of the time and can give her plenty of time, reassurance, and a gradual settling-in period. As she has little experience of it, the outside world can feel overwhelming for Dolly and she may put on the brakes when anxious, so calm, quiet walking routes and owners who are happy to go at her pace are essential.

She is friendly with other dogs and gains confidence from walking alongside them, so she could live with a calm canine companion or enjoy regular doggy walking friends.
Dolly will need a quiet home away from the city with a private garden, where she can feel safe, build confidence, and explore at her own speed. She can live with teenagers who understand her need for space and gentle handling. With understanding, consistency, and kindness, Dolly will blossom into a loving, loyal companion who forms a deep bond with her people
