Loving home offered

I am putting out feelers for a new best friend for my granddad. He rehomed a dog from a local kennels just after the new year, unfortunately he lost her not long ago to kidney failure.
He is in his 80's and lost a leg many years ago and had a stroke a few years ago, he doesn't get out much anymore and is along on his own in the house most of the day, although he lives with my cousin and aunt who would walk and feed the dog.
They have a large garden but don't want a dog with too much energy, just one that likes relaxing and going for a short walk in the evening.
He needs a medium to large size dog that he won't trip over.
Because of the costs involved with Millie his last dog he can't afford to pay a lot for a dog and won't let anyone help with with the costs.

Can anyone help?

I would try the greyhound gap they have lots of hounds in need of a new home. A greyhound/lurcher would be a good choice because they are lazy dogs and large enough that they dont get underfoot and older people dont have to bend down to fuss them. A few retiement homes are now taking on retaired racers to help the residents.

If he wants to met Cassie to see what lurchers are like he is more then welcome. And The dogs trust in Roden are having an open day and show on 4th July i think

i would say a retired greyhound/ cross would fit the bill.. my sister has one and she`s the laziest dog i`ve ever met... sometimes it almost seems an effort for her to go out for a wee once or twice a day

edited to add.. i posted at the same time as Razcox.. lol

LOL that sounds like Cassie we have a few beds around the house and she just moves from one bed to another through out the day

You have to shove her outside to go to the loo, the only time she gets excited is walkies and for food!

exactly she`ll make an appearance if she thinks grubs in the offing.. but clears off back upstairs to bed if nothing appears

Thank you I will have a look on Greyhound gap

What about beautiful Musky, the greyhound on here? He is gorgeous and sounds a real darling

I must have missed Musky, I will go and have a look for him

Thank you I just looked on their website but I think the rehoming fee might be a bit too much for him
