People in greyhound rescue will want to know about your house and yard, and whether you have a fence. They'll want to know if everyone in the family is eager to adopt a retired racer. Be frank with the foster agency about your home, your lifestyle and any other pets. If you travel extensively or if you have numerous obligations outside the home, you cannot be adequate company to a greyhound nor can the dog to you. Prepare your house and purchase any necessary supplies like a crate or muzzle.
Greyhounds are shy and sensitive, but they are also inquisitive and love people.
Introduce your new greyhound to other pets slowly. Greyhounds, used to being kenneled with many other dogs, may suffer separation anxiety. They often find a crate comforting. Greyhounds sometimes need a muzzle. They have been raised in a pack and exhibit pack behavior by nipping when they get excited or anxious.
