Kim is a 4 year old retired greyhound.
She is looking for a home whose human(s) are around for much of the day and should have another dog for company - ideally another medium-large youngster.
An alternative for those working away from the home and not able to take her with them, would be doggy day care - she has done well in this setting and loves meeting her canine friends.
Once settled, she could go off lead in secure / semi-secure spots on the island with another dog(s) but larger open areas wouldn’t be suitable.
She’s clean in the house and travels well. She’s used to being either in the boot or back seat of a car.
She doesn’t like to be left for longer periods so a home who could build this up is needed. She also can be partial to the odd wire when left alone so electrical items need to be out of reach and she should initially wear her basket muzzle for safety. As a retired greyhound she is comfortable wearing one. If a dog cam was an option, this would be useful too.
She has shown interest in cats so a home without them is important and she could be homed with older, dog experienced children.
She has been in a home with a caged bird and although was interested initially, hasn’t worried since. Small furries might be a little more tempting but if able to be kept separated, that could work.
When first meeting new dogs, Kim can have a little grumble if they are in her face for too long but quickly settles and enjoys meeting new friends out and about.
Kim is a gentle soul who makes those who meet her fall in love with her and greyhounds in general so be warned - if she joined you, you may want more of this amazing breed in your life!
