About Ritchie
Handsome Ritchie is a gentle soul, searching for a kind-hearted human to call his own. He is a very social boy with other greyhounds and has even been well-mannered around other breeds (but that is something he is still learning about). Ritchie absolutely loves travelling and will happily jump into the van before settling down for a snooze. He especially enjoys gentle countryside walks where he can take his time sniffing and relaxing.
Like many greyhounds, Ritchie can feel worried in busier environments, particularly if there are lots of off-lead dogs around him. Because of this, he will need kind and patient adopters who are happy to introduce him gradually to the bigger world, helping him build confidence at a pace that feels comfortable for him.
Ritchie will make a wonderfully rewarding companion, and the love and kindness he receives from his people will certainly be returned tenfold!
Homing Needs
- Would prefer not to be left alone for long periods & needs a gradual introduction to home life
- Could live with another hound, or as an only dog in a quiet home with walks that avoid busy parks
- Best suited to calm, understanding humans who will give him time and reassurance when he feels worried
