If you adopt Rigsby (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 their lifetime. Further information will be given when homing Rigsby. Please note, this support is only available for dogs adopted from Forever Hounds Trust.

Rigsby is an active and affectionate Lurcher looking for like-minded adopters. He has an inquisitive and playful nature, loves meeting new people, and will happily lean on you in exchange for plenty of fuss.

Out on walks, Rigsby can find unfamiliar dogs worrying and will need a home that can continue supporting him with this. He can struggle with head-on encounters in busy areas and may become frustrated and react when passing unknown dogs too closely. With careful introductions, Rigsby can enjoy the company of other dogs and has made lots of sighthound friends since coming into our care.

Rigsby is looking for a patient and experienced home that can continue his progress around unfamiliar dogs. In return, he will make a super loving companion and is sure to make his adopters smile with his silly ways.

Homing Needs

• Needs to be the only pet in the home
• He would be best suited to experienced adopters who are happy to continue following his training plan around unfamiliar dogs
• Needs to be exercised in quieter areas (would not cope being taken to a dog park)
• A secure garden where he can play
