HARRY

Harry is an 8 year old ex-racer from the NE of the UK. He was rescued from a council pound where he would have been put to sleep.

Harry has a lovely black coat with handsome white markings around his neck, legs and face. He has the most fabulous sticky-up ears and although sadly has lost half of his tails, he wags it with glee every time he sees us.

Harry loves his toys and literally jumps for joy in the paddocks with his toys in his mouth. He’s a very friendly lad and loves cuddles and playing with his kennel mate. Harry has never known anything but kennel life and meeting other greyhounds so he is slowly learning about the real world and what all these other little dogs.

Harry could live with older children (10+) and with a female of similar size. As with all dogs, Harry would benefit from going to training classes to socialise him with different dogs. Harry cannot live with cats.

Update March 2011:

Harry has been with us for a long time now and we really can’t understand why. We know he can be hard work out on the lead but he is such a loving and happy dog and soooo good with people that surely it should make up for it?? Harry is getting a lot better with other breeds now and he loves other greyhounds. At our reunion walk on March 5th he was very interested in all the dogs when we first arrived but once we started walking he calmed down and in the end behaved very well indeed. Harry will be coming to as many fundraising events as possible so that he can meet other dogs and improve even more. Harry just needs someone used to dealing with big dogs to give him a chance.
