Patty's Scoot ( Scott )

£0.00

Introducing Scott!

With his classic white and black markings, this handsome lad is an absolute picture of grace and charm. Since moving into a foster home, Scott has blossomed into a clever, affectionate, and playful companion. He is a wonderful mix of a cuddly "couch potato" who sleeps beautifully through the night, and a fun-loving boy with endearing puppyish traits. He loves squeaky toys, entertaining himself in the garden, and snuggling up with his greyhound siblings. He's incredibly adaptable, unbothered by household noises or traffic, and is a fantastic passenger in the car. If you already have a confident hound looking for a loyal, quick-learning best friend, Scott is ready to complete your family!

Scott's Details:

  • Age: 4 years

  • Sex: Male

  • Colour: White / Black

  • Child friendly: Yes, older children (12+) or adult-only, as he can get giddy and bouncy when excited for a walk!

  • Vaccinated: Yes

  • Gets on with other dogs: Yes, he must be homed with at least one other confident greyhound. He is making massive progress with his fear reactivity towards other breeds on walks but needs continued positive reinforcement and distance from off-lead dogs.

  • Pet friendly: No cats or small furries.

  • House-trained: Yes, completely! He is great at letting you know when he needs to go out.

  • Home Alone: He has successfully overcome his previous separation anxiety and can be left for up to 5 hours with his greyhound siblings.

  • Ideal home: Scott is seeking his forever sofa in a home with one or more confident greyhounds to keep him company. He would thrive with a family who has older children (12+) or no children, and adopters who are willing to continue his positive, reward-based training when walking near other dog breeds.

What our Volunteers say:.Joy and Neil

Meet Scott!

Scott is a cuddly bunny who is seeking his forever sofa in a home with one or more confident greyhounds. He would like a home with children over 12 (or no children), as he can get giddy when excited about a walk or playtime.

Scott has been in foster care for two months with volunteers Gill and Tony, for a month with us (Joy and Neil), and has even had a short holiday with Jan and Martin. He came into foster care due to separation anxiety, and we wanted to try him in homes with other greys. We are so happy that he has overcome his anxiety; so far, he has been left for five hours with his foster siblings with no problem.

Scott’s Highlights:

  • Adaptable: He is such a clever boy who adapts to change very quickly and soon settles in with more experienced greyhound buddies.

  • House Trained: He is fully house-trained and great at letting you know when he needs to go out.

  • Great Sleeper: He sleeps through the night in one of several beds next to ours. He is not bed-protective and is happy with the "first come, first served" approach with his houndie siblings. He also does not have sleep startle.

  • Unbothered: He's not bothered by any household noise or by traffic.

Personality & Training

Scott is very affectionate. He loves all people, although he hasn't had many opportunities to meet small humans yet. He also loves squeaky toys, chasing flies, and entertaining himself in the garden.

He is a very quick learner. He knows his name and also follows commands such as "lie down" and "come here." Scott still has some puppyish traits which are very endearing. He occasionally attempts to counter-surf if there is food about, but he responds quickly to a firm "no" or "get down." He play-barks, growls, and occasionally "mouths" when excited. It's not aggressive—he's just talking to you to let you know how thrilled he is at the prospect of a new adventure! Just take hold of his collar and cuddle him, and he will calm down.

Socialization Progress

He has made massive progress with his fear reactivity to other breeds. When he sees another dog, either near or far, and doesn't react, we give him loads of praise and cuddles (he loves being told he is a good boy). Due to this method, he no longer reacts to dogs on the other side of the road or those going in the same direction ahead of him.

He still has some issues to work on when other breeds are close by, coming towards him, or if they bark at him. He will bounce and bark. We use a 6-point harness with a double-ended lead and have made huge progress by holding him steady using the handle, moving his head in the opposite direction, and saying "ah ah" or "no" firmly. We are delighted that he now calms down very quickly.

We have taken him into parks but currently stick to the edges away from areas with lots of off-lead dogs. His next adventure will be a pub beer garden when the weather improves, and then we'll try him inside.
