I know she’ll make someone a great family pet, she’s a beautiful dog and even after what happened I was sad to see her go but she’ll be so much happier in a house without small animals!

Hi, we agreed to return her tomorrow and spoke to the rescue who was happy to have her back. In the mean time she’s managed to sneak out of the front room, jump the baby gate and attack the cat, we’ve now got the cat in the vets with a collapsed lung! It’s amazing that the rescue can say that our greyhound was cat trainable when anyone would be able to see she wasn’t!

Honestly the thought of having to take her back breaks my heart , she’s only been here a week and I’m in tears knowing I have to do the right thing for both her and the cat. I know she’ll be an amazing pet to a family without a cat, I’ll speak to the rescue tomorrow but thank you for replying.

Thank you for your honest reply! This is what I was worried about, she’s an absolute ace dog, brilliant with the kids, loves a cuddle, all in all a massive softie but when the cats around she’s a completely dog and the safety of the cat is my main concern as the cats been here for six years!

She’s always got a muzzle and Lea don when she’s around the cat. Our cat has been around dogs before so the cat is very calm and chilled around her but our gh just seems to go mad for her, the cat will be sitting doing nothing and Indy will be whine, cry, fixate on her and drool, she’s also learnt that in a certain position she can get to the door handle with her paws and open the door. This worries me as I don’t feel a baby gate will do anything to help the cat if she gets out. I will give the rescue a ring tomorrow and see if there’s anyway we can do a video call so they can see what she’s like and hopefully give some advice!

Hi all, We picked up our lovely greyhound on Sunday, we was told she was cat trainable and was told how to go about this. We got home and let her settle in then introduced her to the cat, to begin with we could distract her from the cat with treats but as the weeks gone on this had become impossible to do, we’ve tried ham, cooked chicken, bacon and other foods but nothing works, she’s fixated on the cat, she also whines and cries for the cat, she’s lunged at her multiple times, snapped at her multiple times, she’s also started shaking and drooling when looking at her. When we got her we was told her last race was in October but looking online we can see that she raced in December and we’ve been told two different reasons by two different people at the rescue for the reason of her retirement. I’m quite concerned for my cats safety at the moment and was wondering if this has happened with anybody else’s greyhound and if they overcame it?
