Greyhound and Lurcher Rescue in the UK

Dog of the Week

Buddy

Age: 3 and a half years | Dog | Lurcher

Rescue: Waggy Tails

Buddy is a 3 and a half year old Lurcher. He has been in the rescue kennels for almost a year and longs to have a forever home. PLEASE consider offering Buddy a home. When Buddy first came in to us, he was very nervous and distrusting of humans. Over time, Buddy has become a very friendly and playful boy. He very much enjoys his one-to-one time and is learning how to show affection in his own special way! He loves nothing more than a speedy sprint around our field and will happily play fetch with a football or tennis ball until he is tired out. Treats are also a favourite of his. Buddy is good and attentive when out on a walk and walks nicely on a lead. Owing to his lack of socialisation when younger, he can be a bit vocal when he sees other dogs out on a walk, but with further input and more socialisation this can be addressed. As a Lurcher, Buddy has a very strong prey drive and is interested by small wildlife when out walking and small pets in the house. Therefore, Buddy would be suited to a house where he is the only dog without other pets or animals.
