Homing a Greyhound
from Perry Barr Greyhound Trust
By now, you have probably
seen some dogs on our re homing pages and have fallen in love
with a couple and are ready to take the next step. 'But what do
I do next?' I hear you asking. Below is a step by step guide to
homing a greyhound from Perry Barr Trust.
Step One -
Contact Ruth ( 0121 782 7702)
and she will arrange a time for one of our volunteers to come
and do a home visit .
The home visit is a chance
for you to ask any questions you may have about homing a greyhound
. At the home visit you will be asked
to answer a preset questionnaire about you and your home. Don't
worry, we are not after your bank details and the family silver
hiding place! - we just ask questions to ensure the dog will be
going into a home where all the required Retired Greyhound Trust
criteria are met, for instance if you are a single person living
on the fifteenth floor of a block of flats in Birmingham city
centre working twelve hour shifts, seven days a week, then maybe
a dog is not for you! Obviously this is a ridiculous scenario
but you get the gist of why the questions are needed.
Step Two -
If you have satisfied the
requirements you will receive a call from Pam or one of our volunteers
and it's all systems go! You can arrange a time to see some of
the dogs available for rehoming .
Step Three -
When you have chosen a dog
all the relevant paperwork can be filled in and you can take your
new companion home with you.
So, as you can see it's as
easy as One, Two, Three. (Hmmm don't know about that last bit
it sounds a little corny)
Now here's the good news,
all greyhounds homed by Perry Barr Trust come with six weeks'
free pet insurance, a collar , lead and muzzle and are fully vaccinated,
wormed, flea treated and neutered. We also have greyhound coats,
bowls and other items available for sale - all profit goes directly
back to the Trust.
If you have any other questions
you might need answering please feel free to e-mail us or alternatively
give us a call. All contact details are on our contact
