CELT
**UPDATED: MAY 2012**
Please meet the stunning Celt. He is a young ex-coursing greyhound boy at just 18mths old. This poor fella has been through two other rescues with no home offers before coming to KGUK, and is a bit underweight at the moment. Celt is absolutely beautiful though, with gentle eyes and a blue coat splashed with white on his face, chest, tummy and legs. He’s a real eye catcher and is sure to generate a lot of attention for his new owner once he has put on some weight and condition.
~ Personality ~
Celt loves people and craves attention. He has never been in a home so has always had short rations of human contact, and it’s very hard to turn away from his soft, loving expression. This boy just wants to be loved and is eager to please. Celt has only arrived to us recently so we are still getting to know each other and will update with more info soon.
~ In the Home ~
Celt has not yet been in a home environment, so new owners will need to be a bit understanding at the start and give him time to learn the house rules. It generally takes greyhounds 10-14 days to start to settle in a home, and really all they need is time and patience.
~ Other Animals ~
Celt has been very good with the other greyhounds in our kennels so far, though at the moment is unsure what to make of small dog breeds. This is the first time he would have met any non-greyhound dog, and it is clear that he is not yet convinced that a tiny terrier is, in fact, a dog. This issue is not unusual for greyhounds just off the track, and is overcome with lots of positive socialisation with all types of dogs. If this boy is given the chance to figure out what you want of him, we don’t think it will take too long to get over this hump. He will try so hard to please you.
~ Out and About ~
Like most greyhounds, Celt is a rather lazy boy and does not need a huge amount of exercise. He will be content with two 30min walks a day and perhaps a chance to stretch his legs offlead in a safe area a couple of times a week.
~ Greyhounds as Pets ~
In general greyhounds are calm, mannerly dogs that are well used to being handled. They can fit very well in to a wide range of different lifestyles and usually adjust to the home life very quickly. Their soft, easy going nature often makes them ideal to live in a family with children, while their love of lazing around and low exercise requirements can make them perfect for the elderly. Greyhounds also don’t shed as much as other more popular dog breeds and this can make them suitable to live with allergy sufferers.
~ Where Am I? ~
Celt is currently in kennels in Norfolk. He can be homed anywhere in the UK, but please note that you may be required to travel to our rescue to meet and collect him.
~ Want To Adopt Me? ~
Celt is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, de-flea'd and wormed and a homecheck will be required as part of the adoption procedure. This dear boy would benefit so very much from a chance to live in a foster home and Kerry Greyhounds UK is always eager for new foster volunteers. It is an extremely rewarding experience and costs are covered by us.
If you are interested in adopting or fostering Celt, please visit either our website’s KERRY GREYHOUNDS UK[/B] ~~
Kerry Greyhounds UK is a small voluntary organisation that is based in Norfolk, England. It focuses on rehoming unwanted Irish greyhounds and lurchers, as huge numbers are bred in Ireland each year and homes are few and far between. KGUK operates through a network of volunteers spaced over Ireland and the UK. We can look after approximately 30 dogs at any one time in both kennels and foster homes.
Each dog is neutered, vaccinated, & microchipped before being adopted (unless stated otherwise).
We assess the suitability of all home offers, and we have homed greyhounds in all corners of the UK.
