Paddy - 8 year old Greyhound Lad

Allow us to introduce you to Paddy, a smashing boy of 8 years old and 29" to the shoulder. Paddy has had a really difficult time until now, we feel he has been badly let down in the past and is at present time underweight but things have taken a turn for the better recently with some of our very own wonderful fosterers who have a world of experience with boys like Paddy and he really is doing so well!!!


Key points: VERY loving and affectionate, Dream to have around in the home, gentle, beautiful eyes that just make you want to cuddle him. Very good in the car. Paddy will need an experienced and committed home. Good with other large dogs, loves to play with his ball, loves treats.
Paddy is a gorgeous black boy who will look beautiful once the condition of his coat improves with TLC and he puts on some weight with good food in his tummy.
Location: Living in a foster home in Norfolk.


~ Personality ~
This boy has had such a rough time and been let down on so many levels and yet still has so much love to give to the right family. He really is a dream to live with and it would be a dream come true for Paddy to be adopted in his latter years by people that truly love him for who he is. He has come so far in such a short time with his latest foster family so please don’t over look this beautiful boy.

~ In the Home ~
Paddy will ask to go out to the toilet by either going to the door or coming up to you to ask and is totally house trained. He is simply a dream boy in the home.



~ Other Animals ~
Paddy has been very well behaved with all the greyhounds and around other big dogs but is not small dog friendly or cat friendly. Our very experienced behaviourist will be on board to help you with Paddy’s on-going training. He is currently living with a female greyhound and chickens.



~ Out and About ~
Paddy is generally well behaved on walks but dislike small dogs and cats. If he sees a large dog he will pull and twizzle around barking but this behaviour is being corrected by saying a firm 'NO' then positive calm touch, especially stroking his ears and reassuring him. He has had a session with our behaviourist who has established that this particular behaviour is that he wants to say hello but having not been corrected on the lead previously, or properly socialised it causes him to behave in this manner which is so sad for him. Paddy should be walked in a harness and not a collar and lead and must always wear a soft muzzle when out in public. (Soft muzzles are more comfortable and easier to reward with treats).



~ Where Can I Live? ~
We feel Paddy would be happy living with at least one other female dog for company but he also has the potential to be happy as a single dog with lots of attention and someone who at home for most of the day. It would be a dream come true for someone to adopt Paddy that has land/a secure large garden so he can stretch his legs safely away from small dogs. Please note we do not home dogs to households with children under the age of 8.

~ Where Am I? ~
Paddy is currently in a foster home in Norfolk so you will have to travel to meet him and collect him from Norfolk when the time comes for him to join your family.



~ Want to Adopt Me? ~
Paddy is neutered, vaccinated, de-flead, wormed and microchipped. Please be aware that a homecheck will be carried out as part of the adoption agreement.



If you are interested in adopting Paddy, please contact me (Bronwen) via email: bronwen@kerrygreyhounds.co.uk, or you can speak to me directly by phoning: 075 000 62648.

There is an application form for adopting a Kerry Greyhound, and we will ask you to fill it in as the first step in the adoption process. To speed up this process, we recommend you do this before emailing/calling. You can find the form, as well as further information on our homing procedures, on the Adoption Page.

Thank you.
