Nitro

 

Nitro is in foster care near Southampton, Hampshire, he arrived in our care on the 9th of January 2025 and he was born on the 20th of September 2021.

This lad is a friendly boy with oodles of character who is going to make a perfect addition to his new family.

Nitro enjoys being outside and around people, no sad day with this boy around. If you are someone who enjoys the outside then this chap is your man!

This lad loves his walk, you certainly can feel his strength on a lead, however walking him using a Canny allows for a more enjoyable walk for all.  He just loves visiting new places and always has a smile on that gorgeous face.

Nitro just LOVES water, what’s better than splashing through a puddle or small pond/lake/paddling pool in the middle of winter!  He certain has a full, adventurous character!

He loves getting into a car for his outings and will settle down quickly.  After a walk Nitro can be a little tired and sometimes needs waking up upon arriving home!

Nitro would either prefer a home of his own or one with a female greyhound/other large breed of dog to share it with.  He could live with children over the age of ten, due to his size and excitement.

This boy has been assessed with other breeds of dog, he really just wants to say ‘hello’ to everything and everyone!  The lad forgets how big he is compared to other dogs and just needs to control his playful excitement which he is starting to correct himself.  We are working with him on how to greet smaller dogs from a distance, as he really doesn’t understand what they are and his size can make them wary of him.  Nitro is enjoying his additional training walks ‘in public places’ where he is practising how to greet other dogs in a slowed down way!

His new owner now needs to continue this training by meeting and greeting a range of dogs up close and far away.  He is very responsive to his handler and listens well as he wants to please you, especially if there is food around!

Nitro just loves to have fun with you and his toys, his favourite toy has got to be the tennis ball, followed shortly by ‘stop the rolling football or catch the flying teddy!’

After all this excitement and exercise Nitro doesn’t want anything else but a ‘special, quiet time’ with his human friends.  The boy could spend all day having cuddles if you had time for it, but he knows ‘us’ humans have to work too so after an extended special time with his own humans he will retire to his bed for a good snooze, saving up his energy for the next round later on!  Nitro hasn’t found the sofa yet but has watched his fellow greyhounds using it so I’m sure it won’t take him long to jump on it!  This lad is quite happy to share a bed with one of his friends or stretch out and have it all for himself.  Nitro loves bedtime and being tucked up with his P.J’s and a blanket over the top of him to keep him snug!

Nitro is learning about home life and the outside world, noises in the home don’t seem to faze him and he quite likes to watch the T.V especially if it is showing the countryside or animals!  Being a little taller Nitro can reach the kitchen worktops with his nose so beware you don’t want to leave any food lying around as he just simply adores his food!

This cheeky chap LOVES food and will do anything for it, all bowls are shiny after he has finished his meal!  Nitro will take treats gently from your hand and will wait his turn for them.

This boy isn’t an early riser and could quite happily spend the extra time having a snooze but he will keep one beady eye open just in case you go out for walks without him!

Nitro is mostly housetrained now and knows he needs to go into the garden, he is learning how to inform his foster mummy when he needs to go.

Do you enjoy walking in the countryside?  Nitro could be the chap for you.  How can you not resist that puppy face and those gorgeous eyes!

Make Nitro’s day by asking to see him and of course that special A word!
