Gwen

 

Gwen is in foster care in Southampton, Hampshire, she arrived in our care on the 30th of August 2026 and she was born on the 10th of May 2023.

This lass is a tiny, quiet yet friendly girl who is going to make a perfect addition to her new family.

She can be a little reserved when you first meet her, this is not her true character and with a little time she will show you her cheeky character, sometimes this can take a few weeks to come out fully.  Don’t be put off by this as she really is a sweetie!

This girl loves to play with you and soft toys, she just loves running around and having fun, what more could you ask for!  Gwen enjoys playing with other greyhounds, she espeically enjoys ‘greyhound bitey faces!’ This game can last quite awhile, she is a very happy girl who enjoys the company of another dog – female or male.

Gwen is housetrained and used to everyday noises in and around the home.  She shows little fear of washing machine, TV, dishwasher and is even getting used to the hoover.  She can be a little unsure about car/motor bike engines starting close by.

Our gorgeous girl lives alongside 8 other greyhounds both girls and boys, she gets on well with them all.  Gwen has shown us no negative behaviour around other breeds of dog, she is intrigued about what they are – big and small breeds.  She will watch them as they go by and will listen to her handler if she is asked to wait on walks.  Gwen needs to continue her training around other breeds of dog, seeing them from afar and up close.

This girl does LOVE her food and is also learning all about treats.  Gwen certainly enjoys all these new tastes!

She enjoys her car rides, knowing she is going to have a nice walk somewhere.  Gwen can jump into the boot of a car and will settle down nicely, once the car has started.

Gwen enjoys going out for her walks, she walks nicely on a lead and will trot along beside you.  She will prick her ears up when watching other dogs play, she secretly would like to join in with them.

After all the excitement of being out and about, she will settle down next to you for some quiet time and a stroke from her favourite people.

Gwen could be left for a few hours at a time but we would prefer this to be kept to no more than 4 hours due to her age and character.  She could live with another greyhound or other breed if proper introductions have taken place or she could be an only dog.  Gwen would happily live with another dog, she would gain confidence from having a pal but equally, could live in a quieter home, with a family that are prepared to give her time to adjust to her new surroundings.

Our sweet girl could live with a family who have older teenagers, Gwen may find younger children a little noisy especially while she continues to learn about home life and the outside world.

This little lass won’t be with us long so contact us to arrange a viewing, you will not be disappointed with our beautiful Gwen!
