Adoption Application Form

Dogs are social beings, so if you intend to leave your dog more than 4 hours a day, then consider whether you actually have time to own a dog.
Please ensure all your family members are on board for adopting.
Most sighthounds can and will jump. This is why we insist that all boundaries ie hedges, walls and fences to your property are at least 6 feet in height with no gaps. If yours are not you would need to be willing to raise them and that includes gates to 6 feet or more. If you do not wish to do so, please do not apply and waste your time and ours.
All dogs need time to adjust so even if they are clean in their foster home, until they get used to their routine with you, accidents are inevitable. They will have experienced several changes, periods of unsettlement and stress. Please be patient with them while they adjust to their new life with you.
Please, if you are looking for a dog who can be off lead, then consider a different breed. Sighthounds are extremely beautiful, but they come with quirks - one of their quirks is the speed they can run at in a very short space of time. This year, we have seen a dreadful rise in lost lurchers and those killed in RTA's. Please be sensible and consider if a sighthound is really for you.
Each type of sighthound will have their unique character and charm but there are some typical traits with each -the saluki can often be aloof, the greyhound usually the more placid, as for lurchers, it really does depend on the mix! But with any sighthound, you should always expect:
Your bed/sofa space decreasing; comedy genius; counter-surfing; debatable loyalty; selective hearing; exciting walks - especially when they see squirrels, rabbits, etc; becoming totally addicted to sighthounds and filling your homes with them; pure magic!
