Becky

Meet Becky, a gentle and sweet girl who is looking for a patient home where she can continue to build her confidence and blossom into the loving companion she is destined to be. While she can be shy and unsure around unfamiliar people, once she gets to know you, her affectionate side shines through, and she becomes a very loving and loyal friend.

Becky currently lives with another greyhound in foster care and would love a home with a canine companion to help her feel comfortable and settled. She could live with dogs of any size, provided smaller dogs are gentle and calm, as she can feel a little unsure around more excitable dogs who bark and bounce about. She would suit a townhouse or a house with a yard and could potentially be cat-friendly, although this has not yet been tested.

This lovely girl enjoys her daily walks and walks beautifully on lead, although she is still building her confidence in busier and noisier environments. She has also been making great progress with stairs, mastering most of them and continuing to practise on polished wooden stairs. Becky enjoys car trips and loves playing with her toys at home, often carrying her favourite soft toys around and showing off her playful side when she's comfortable with her people.

Becky would suit a home with teenagers rather than young children while she continues to build her confidence around people. She could be comfortable with full-time workers, and her calm, gentle nature would also make her a lovely companion for a retired household.

With a little patience, understanding and plenty of love, Becky has so much affection to give. She is simply looking for someone willing to let her blossom at her own pace and show her just how wonderful life as a much-loved pet can be.

Becky's suitability

• Great for townhouse or house with a yard
• Would love a small to large polite dog
• Great with stairs
• Teenage children (no young children)
• Full time working family
• Great for retired family
• Shows signs of being potentially cat friendly (untested)

Special note from Becky's foster family

"If you're looking for a cheeky goofball who will keep you laughing, look no further than Becky! She's bouncy, bold and full of personality, and she is never happier than when she's trotting around the house with one of her beloved stuffies, showing it off to anyone who'll look.

Becky adores other big dogs and is always up for a game, so she would love a home with a big doggy friend to play with. When the playing is done, she just wants to be close to her human. She can be a little nervous when she first meets new people, but once she decides you're her friend, you've got a friend for life.

Her bounce means she's not suited to a home with small children, and she's still a bit scared of wooden stairs and traffic, so she'd love a patient family who will help her build her confidence."

If you are interested in adopting Becky, submit an adoption application form and our adoption officer will contact you to discuss your family's requirements and match you with the right GAP greyhound for you. More information is available on the adoption process.

Greyhounds can be at different stages in their development as they transition to pet life. The greyhound that is perfect for your family might take some time to match.

Our greyhounds are not all tested with cats, livestock, or poultry. If you have a home with these, please contact us and we will match you with the right greyhound for your circumstances.
