Ritson has been homed – 11.11.25.
Ritson is in foster care in Southampton, Hampshire, he arrived in our care on the 8th of October 2025 and he was born on the 1st of May 2022.
This lad is very friendly, who loves to have cuddles. He is full of life and just can’t wait to find his own home!
He enjoys going out for his walks and being with his canine friends.
Ritson loves to be around people, having a lot of fuss and cuddles. He is a very affectionate boy and will snuggle into you gently for an ever lasting hug.
After all that fun and exercise, Ritson will quite happily enjoy a long nap.
Ritson understands the rules of the car and will listen when told to jump in. Once he is in, he will settle down quickly and will start to think about what the next adventure will entail.
This gorgeous lad could live with children over the age of 8 years. He loves his toys and will quite happily amuse himself but will also snuggle up to a cuddly toy and fall asleep on it!
Ritson is learning the rules of the house and so far, learnt that the kitchen is the best place to be! He takes in everyday noises as they are something he has always heard – T.V, dishwasher, radio, builders drilling – none phase him at all.
He is mostly house trained and is learning fast, Ritson is dry overnight and is learning to inform his foster mummy when he needs the toilet during the day, when the door is closed. What a quick learner he is!
Are you looking for an active greyhound or do you enjoy walking in the countryside? Ritson could be the chap for you. How can you not resist that puppy face and those gorgeous eyes! He is a cuddly teddy bear who just wants to have fun!
After all the dashing around, Ritson most of all enjoys a cuddle time with his human friends, he just loves to lean right into you. This special time with his human friends are a must for every day and in return he will show how compassionate he is for you and your family.
Ritson has a good appetite and will always show you a shiny, clean bowl when finished. He is a typical lad, after he has finished his food, he will need a quick trip outside so he can go to the toilet! This lad has a sweet tooth and enjoys a few treats during the day, all doggie ones of course, he will gentle take them from your hand and waits patiently for his turn.
This playful lad enjoys ‘bedtime’ or ‘quiet time’ where he can snooze whilst surrounded by his big, warm bed. He quite likes finding a quiet area to lay down, he particularly likes a crate which he can make it his own and enjoy all that ‘alone’ time but he also enjoys laying with another greyhound on one of the other beds too. Ritson can feel the cold and likes to be covered by a blanket or his fleece to keep him nice and cosy and toasty!
The boy will need his own wardrobe of coats to ensure he doesn’t get cold when out on his walks or on those colder days in the home. I wonder how many different coats he will end up with!
Ritson could be an only dog in the house or he could live with another greyhound or other breed, once proper introductions are carried out first. He has been tested with other breeds of dog and after working out what they are, he just wants to be friends. Ritson is a little afraid of smaller dogs and needs to continue his training around them so he gets familiar with them and sees them as friends.
He would love to find his new family, could it be yours? Make his day, ask for a viewing, fall in love with him, just like we have.
No cats please.
