About Pepsi:
Loving and Affectionate: Pepsi adores people and thrives on human companionship. She’s a sweet and friendly girl who loves nothing more than being close to her humans and sharing affection.
Energetic and Engaged: While she’s in her senior years, Pepsi is far from slowing down. She enjoys getting out and about and still loves her long walks, taking in the sights and smells with enthusiasm.
What Pepsi Needs:
Only Pet Home: Pepsi is reactive to small dogs and cats, so she’ll need to be the only pet in the home. She’ll be happiest in an environment where she doesn’t have to navigate the stress of other animals.
Active and Secure Lifestyle: A secure garden to relax in and daily walks to keep her body and mind active would be perfect. She’s a great match for someone who enjoys the outdoors as much as she does.
A Patient, Loving Owner: Pepsi would thrive with an owner who understands her reactivity and is happy to give her the space and support she needs to feel calm and confident.
Pepsi is a spirited and loyal companion who’s ready to bring joy, love, and energy into the right home. If you’re looking for a devoted walking buddy and affectionate friend, Pepsi could be the one for you.
Greyhounds have unique needs and traits due to their breed history and life experiences, especially former racing Greyhounds like Cassie. Here’s a guide to consider for his successful adoption:
Space and Exercise
Moderate exercise. Greyhounds are known as “sprinters” rather than long-distance runners. While they need daily exercise, a few short bursts of play 20-30 minute walks will usually suffice.
A safe and fenced area: Given his enjoyment of playtime in the free-run pen, a fenced garden or access to a secure area is ideal. Greyhounds usually have a strong prey drive and may chase after small animals, so keeping them leashed in unfenced areas is crucial.
Managing Prey Drive
Reactive to cats: As a former racer, Cassies prey drive can make her reactive towards cats and small animals. Ideally, she should be the only pet or paired with larger dogs, which she feels comfortable with and is used to.
Socialisation and Companionship
Since spending her life in racing kennels, household sounds and settings may be unfamiliar. Expect a transition period as she adapts to indoor living.
Health and Grooming
Sensitive skin and low body fat: Greyhounds have thin skin and very little body fat, making them sensitive to cold and heat. A coat or sweater during colder weather is essential, and she should always have a soft bed to prevent sores from lying on hard surfaces.
