James

Greyhound Trust Shropshire & Borders James

Ok so it’s time to introduce James, Amyville James to give him his posh name. James is a special boy who needs a new home through no fault of his own. Sadly he has come back to us as his most recent owner is now too ill to look after him anymore. James is 7 yrs old DOB 12/01/2019.  I thought we had a home lined up for him but sadly it’s fallen through so I’m now spreading the word about him.

He is huge! He’s a coursing bred greyhound so is bigger at approx 45kg than your average racing greyhound. He is so soft and gentle and is a pleasure to be around. He’s good on the lead, well behaved around other dogs - unless they really irritate him then he’ll politely discipline them. He loves my Freya and is awesome in full flight! Fortunately he doesn’t do that very often . He’s an extremely chilled dude and has lived with an elderly gentleman, even being left alone in the house for several days with neighbours popping in when his Dad was in hospital. James is happy with a quiet life although he does enjoy his walks and loves meeting people. He takes most things in his stride. He jumps in the car and enjoys an outing including trips to the pub or cafe. He’s very considered about things and does love a good sniff on his walks. He was underweight when he first came back but he’s put that all back on now and having had a clean bill of health at our vets is ready to find his new home.

James isn’t used to young children and given his size we think older children over 12 would be best.

More photos are on our web site. Please only apply if you’ll love James as much as we do. This is the second home he’s come back from, neither where his fault and he’s been in his last home over four years. He needs a change if luck this time and this really must be his permanent home. Some one or family who can look after him for the rest of his days. He’s big but gentle and lovable, he doesn’t jump up and he’s happy to be left on his own, although in both his homes someone has been around all day.
