Basil (at the left of the photo) with Rí Greyhound and Emma Wolfhound.....yes, he gets along quite well with other dogs - even if they have to squeeze in together!

Basil is a handsome 18 month old blue brindle greyhound....and he is BIG for a greyhound, being rather solidly built and standing just under 30 inches at the top of the back. A "failed" courser, Basil did not have the mind for chase, and seems to have brought that "which way did they go...

this is why he ended up in rescue: (details available to the new owner)

Rí - meaning "king" in Irish - is a large, gentle 3 yr old male greyhound. With a few races and some unfortunate times behind him, Rí is now living in a rural home environment in Ireland with several other greyhounds. Rí is generally a quiet and quite well-behaved gentleman of a dog who can be...

Hi Claire, I agree with Olivepliers - now that he is feeling secure and safe enough, it is "all right" for the bad past to be experienced and dealt with. Having several dogs here who have had bad pasts, it is my experience that after about 3-4 months they begin to have bad dreams. They do not...

my large 7 yr old ex-coursing bitch marks as often as a stud dog every time we go walking - even lifts her leg. I also have several males here who stretch out their back legs and pee directly under themselves - can not be bothered to lift!

Through this board I realized 2 days ago that Clairej810's Tiny is the same Tiny who was in my foster care for almost 6 months. I have only 2 digital photos from that period to show...hope you like them, Claire: Before: poor little Tiny, 12 weeks old, a scrap of a pup - thin, scared, full of...

Thanks for your good wishes. Here is another (pre-neuter!) photo of Josef:

Small world...Clairej810 - I think your Tiny was in my foster care for 5 months before he was sent to you. Will pm you....

This is Josef Sloughi. He is about 4 years old, neutered, vaccinated, and was living feral for at least three years in Ireland, and no doubt before that was very badly treated. He is now still in Ireland, but in a private greyhound sanctuary in a home environment. He is now ready for a permanent...

Yes, that's Mr. Josef Sloughi, or, as a friend calls him, King Josef. He has been living in a home environment and is doing great, by the way.

I can tell you what I did with a little cat I had, though this will sound quite mad. At the time I also had an ex-coursing greyohund bitch, quite large, and a large ex-racer too. A little cat was dumped near my house and it spent weeks recovering in a large old greenhouse on the property, away...

about rescue longdogs and how they can be safely posted on the web - this can be done by going to specific boards or sites and getting homechecks done, as well as arranging for backup if the homing does not work. Because the particular dog I had in mind to post here is so unusual, and there are...

Merry Christmas, everyone! Nigel has suggested I post rescue dogs in the general dog-related discussion section for now. Although maybe not all the dogs I have here would be suitable for this board, a few, like Josef, would certainly fit into the niche. Despite his feral years, for example...

On rescue dogs I have here with any kind of itchy patches I use apple cider vinegar diluted with warm water - the dilution depends on how raw and red and open the problem is, how sensitive the dog is, etc. You can start with 3 parts water to one part vinegar. The cider should stop the itching...

Hello - I am new to the board and wonder if there is a topic heading under which I might be able to post some rescue dogs I have in my care. I live in Ireland and have mostly greyhounds, though I do also have a special sloughi boy. I generally take in dogs in bad condition and rehabilitate them...

Thanks, Kitty - I enjoy it in general, and the reward of Josef coming around has been wonderful.

Alba - thank you for mentioning the "sloughi in Ireland" - he is in my care, and his name is Josef. Ah, but don't worry that he "ended up in rescue" - feral for at least 3 yrs, he is now a happy man who knows his name, is housebroken, and gets along with the other dogs here. Most of the dogs...
