Greysfriend Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Hi everyone, I have been reading for a while the forum but thought it would be time to present our little Rocket! He is 4 years soon and we adopted him 2 months ago now. A retired racer from Ireland, but we live in Sweden so he had a long journey before coming to us. He is a big black dog, has been in the shelter for 8 months before we adopted him. We are in a city but he is not scared at all, he loves sniffing all the new odors around. He loves his walk, the couch but sometimes also just lying on our flour! (?) He is very sweet and looks for cuddle but also wants to play a lot. He has a lot of energy and his almost 2 hours of walk a day seem to be just enough for him We love him very much! Anyway I thought I'll do a quick presentation before I ask some questions https://e1.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=kZ6TQbZp2w1g9LALwyAyxe2ouIFPuTH80M7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll look forward to reading more about your adventres together in Sweden.

Are there many greyhounds in Sweden? We see mostly Whippets and Italian greyhounds where we are! There's a lot of sight-hounds adoption websites so there may be more in the countryside! We are in a (small city)! We only know of one other greyhound nearby us, also adopted from Ireland! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
