We have a greyhound or greyhound/saluki mix looking for a home. He was surrendered to us and is in a foster home with another dog in Dubai. Here is how the foster describe him :
Dobby is a young (3–4 years old), gentle and calm dog who is settling well in a home environment. We have been fostering him for almost a month now and have seen him grow more confident, comfortable and relaxed with each passing day. He gets along with our 7-year-old female Border Collie. Dobby has been very easygoing with her and has shown no signs of reactivity. Dobby is housetrained and follows a consistent routine well. He can be left on his own for a few hours — we’ve left him for 3–4 hours at a time without any issues, and he settles calmly.
On walks, he is calm, relaxed and non-reactive to other dogs, vehicles, or bikes. He enjoys sniffing and exploring, and walks well on leash. Occasionally, he may pause if startled by a loud noise, but with gentle reassurance he continues walking.
He has shown no interest in chasing cats during walks and generally remains aloof around them. We have quite a few strays in our community and he is not bothered at all.
We don’t have children at home, so he hasn’t been tested with kids yet. However, given his calm and non-aggressive nature, he is likely to do well with patient introductions.
Dobby can be a little shy when meeting new people, including men, but warms up as he begins to feel safe.
At home, he has been doing very well with his routine. Initially he had trouble sleeping alone at night but with some training we have been able to help him sleep independently through the night (7–8 hours) without whining. We are also gradually working on crate and basic obedience training for him.
Overall, we feel Dobby would do best in a calm, understanding home that can continue to build his confidence at his pace. He enjoys his food, likes spending time in the garden, and is naturally curious about new smells.
