More about Robin

Meet our lovely Greyhound, Robin.

Robin arrived at Battersea after retiring from his racing career. He is a friendly, bouncy and excitable lad who loves human company and has no issues making friends. He has struggled a little when out and about on his walks, being a little stressed in a busy environment, although he does do better in the company of a Greyhound friend. He is looking for new owners who can set him up for success, and will give him the time he needs to settle into what is likely his first home environment. As an ex-racer with a high chase drive, he will need to be kept on lead and muzzled when out in public spaces.

Robin likes other dogs and has shown some friendly behaviours, although he can be reactive occasionally when he is unsure what to do. This is likely due to being mostly around other Greyhounds and not having met many other breeds of dog during his racing days. He would prefer to be the only dog in the home at this time, but would love some doggy mates to go on regular walks with. He could potentially live with another greyhound friend, if they can give him the space he needs without pestering him.

Robin is looking for a home away from the inner city, with access to his own private garden to help build his confidence and give him a safe place to potter about off lead. He could potentially live with older children who can play a role in his daily training. Robin is a lively, affectionate and loveable boy who is ready for a home to call his own. He will make the best goofy cuddle buddy in any household lucky enough to have him!
