Hello Greyhound lovers!! Flint here, at your service.

I’m a very loving and snuggly boy. As a mature gentleman I appreciate those home comforts that retirement homes usually have to offer . A snuggly sofa or a cosy duvet and that’s where you’ll find me for the majority of the day.

I’m really good when it comes to being handled all over and I am more than happy to have the vet check me over when needed. I’m quite happy meeting new people both at home and out and about, as long as they aren’t tiny humans as they cause me a lot of anxiety. I adore being brushed and it you stop before I am ready I’ll give you a nudge to ask for more. I’ve recently had my teeth spruced up (and a few taken out) so my pearly whites are ready to help me shine.

I can get super excited by toys when I am in the mood and humans are there to get me excited by them. I’m most likely to play with a soft toy and when I’m in the garden. Toys in the house are more likely to become pillows.

I used to be really friendly with other dogs but after an incident in my past I am now reactive when I meet a new dog for the first time. With the right introductions (from a big distance to start) I can make new friends but this has to be done very slowly and carefully. My new owners will need to have owned a reactive dog before and be able to exercise me in very quiet places to avoid stressing me out on walks. It would be really nice we could go to a sole use paddock once in a while. The ones were you rent the space for an hour so that I am able to blow away the cobwebs off the lead somewhere safe. Due to my breed and behaviour I’ll need to stay on the lead and wear my muzzle in all public places so these paddocks are a great place for me to enjoy the great outdoors safely.

In my previous home I liked travelling in the car and I was happy being left on my own for up to 5 hours. I’ll keep the soda warm for you while your out. If you think we could be a match I’d really love it of you could fill in an application form. At my age I don’t want to be spending too long here waiting for my forever home when I know there is a spot on the sofa by a warm fire just waiting to be filled.
