If you adopt Lucy (or any of our dogs), you will be entitled to receive FREE behavioural support from our qualified team of behaviourists for any issues you might need help with during her lifetime. Further information will be given when homing Lucy. Please note, this support is only available for dogs adopted from Forever Hounds Trust.

Sweet Lucy is a petite and affectionate girl looking for a calm and loving home. She is a very bright girl who loves learning and engaging with her handlers. Lucy has already learnt her name in a very short space of time and is practising checking in on walks for tasty treats.

Lucy would thrive with adopters who can continue building her confidence by choosing quiet walking areas where she won’t need to worry about encountering off-lead dogs. As a Greyhound who has spent all of her life in kennels, she can find busier environments overwhelming and would therefore prefer a quieter home and walking environment.

Like many ex-racing greyhounds, Lucy arrived with us feeling a little stiff and uncomfortable, but she has made fantastic progress in our care. She is currently seeing a physiotherapist who is helping her continue to build strength and mobility. Because of this, Lucy would be best suited to a home where she won’t need to manage lots of stairs.

Lucy would benefit from an experienced greyhound home who will be patient, allow her to settle at her own pace, and gently introduce her to the wider world while she continues to enjoy home comforts. The love she receives will be returned sevenfold.

Homing Needs

• Would prefer not to be left alone for long periods & needs a gradual introduction to home life
• Quieter walking areas where she won’t need to worry about seeing off-lead dogs
• A home where she won’t need to regularly use stairs
