More about Roar
Roar has hung up his racing shoes and he’s ready to start his next adventure as someone’s loving companion!
This gentle Greyhound is a sweet, affectionate boy who enjoys quiet moments, a fuss, and being close to his people. He can be a little sensitive at times, Roar appreciates calm introductions and a family who will let him shine at his own pace.
Roar has settled beautifully into foster home life and is now fully housetrained. He’s very calm and easy in the house, happily settling down and relaxing for large parts of the day. He’s become increasingly affectionate and trusting and will now actively seek out affection from his people. He’s also developing a wonderfully playful side!
He’s happiest with gentle walks, cosy naps, and a home where he can feel safe and loved.
Roar is an intelligent boy who knows his name and is responding really well to training. He’s food motivated and clearly enjoys learning, so his new family will have lots of opportunities to build on this with him. He has lovely manners around food and toys, with no resource guarding, and is proving to be a very well-mannered house guest.
Roar is looking for a home away from the inner city with access to his own private garden for some space that's secure for him to burn off some energy.
He would prefer to be the only dog in the home and due to being an ex racer, he cannot live with cats.
He has been very good with everyone he has met aged 12+, although he is nervous around smaller children, so he would be best suited to a home with older children.
Roar is proving to be a really lovely boy who is settling into home life beautifully. With his gentle nature, affectionate personality and enjoyment of learning, he has so much to offer the right family.

Rehoming FAQs
Here at Battersea, we assess all of our dogs individually and create a rehoming profile for them. To ensure successful matches between people and pets, we use a combination of extensive rehoming experience, our staff expertise and the information you provided in your rehoming form. Once you complete your online registration, you’ll receive a confirmation email to let you know that we have everything we need to begin our matchmaking process, as well as the next steps of the process.
This may not always be the dog you thought it would be, which is why we ask that you see the registration form as a way of registering your interest in rehoming, not an application for a specific animal. We’re experts in making sure we find the right home for our dogs and the right dog for your home.

Once you’ve completed our online registration form, we’ll handle the rest. Your rehoming registration will be open for up to three months, and in that time, we’ll do our very best to try and match you with a pet that best suits you and your lifestyle. It can take a bit of time for us to try and match you with a pet – but we promise it’s time well spent. We’re committed to getting to know every animal at our centres before finding a match that works for our dogs and for you wherever possible.
If we are not able to match you with a dog within three months, we’ll let you know and offer guidance to help you continue your search, either at Battersea or beyond.

Our rehoming fee is £230 for dogs (over six months), £350 for a pair of dogs, or £275 for puppies (under six months). We accept cash or debit/credit card as payment (we are unable to accept cheques). Included in this cost are the following:
- Microchipping
- Initial vaccinations, flea and worming treatment
- Neutering
- A collar, identification tag and lead
- Starter pack of food, advice and special offers
- Four weeks’ free Petplan insurance as your dog settles into their new surroundings
Something to bear in mind is that our rehoming fee is just the beginning of the costs involved with owning a dog. We would recommend that before making the decision to rehome, you investigate the costs of pet food, pet insurance, grooming and fees at your local veterinary centre so that you are fully prepared for the financial implications of bringing a dog into your home.
