Ace

Description

Big bouncy gentle giant, seeking his forever home.

This beautiful big boy is Ace and he is an ex racing greyhound. He has only recently retired from racing, so is still adjusting to the new routine and changes. He is good with other medium/large dogs, and could live with another dog pending meet and greet. But he would also be happy as the only dog in the home. We havent tried him near small dogs yet as he is still new to us, but given his size I dont think it would be a good idea to rehome him with small dogs. He is a big boy. He would need someone who can build up his leaving times slowly as living in a home will likely be new to him and he will need some time to adjust. But in general greyhounds are quick learners and soon learn to enjoy the home comforts, so hopefully Ace will be the same. He is likely going to need some house training initally, but in kennels he is a pretty clean boy so I dont think he would be hard to house train at all. As he is so recently retired from racing by only a few weeks, his body and mind is still adjusting to all the changes both in his environment and his body itself, so his we will continue to assess him as he continues to settle in. But so far he seems to walk well on the lead, he can be alert with cats but this is hopefully something that will continue to settle as he gets out of the racing mindset. He is muzzle trained and is used to wearing his greyhound muzzle on walks, which is the law anyway for the breed. He is a super friendly boy with people and could live with dog savy kids, but due to his size kids maybe 12yrs and over might be best, though kids as young as 8 could be considered if they have large dog experience. Ace is a wonderful big boy and we cant wait to get to know him more and hopefully find his forever home where he can relax and enjoy a cosy loving pet life now.
