Greyhound and Lurcher Rescue in the UK

Dog of the Week

Paddy and Ruby

Age: 11 and 14 years | Dog | Lurcher

Rescue: Battersea Dogs and Cats Home

Meet our fabulous old married couple, Paddy and Ruby! These two have won the hearts of everyone here at our Brands Hatch centre since their arrival and have such wonderful characters. Ruby is the lively one of the two who loves to be involved in everything, whereas Paddy is the more mature and chilled out one. These two have predominantly lived outside their whole lives, so will need all the support with settling in to home life, including starting housetraining right from scratch. New owners will need to be prepared for a longer settling period for these two duet their lack of exposure of being in a home. Other than this, they are very low maintenance in terms of ongoing training as have great social skills with people and other dogs. Paddy and Ruby are looking for a new home with their own private garden to explore and learn their housetraining. They can live with sensible older teenagers however would prefer to be pets in the home. They could live with an experienced single carer so long as their time left alone is kept to a minimum and can be built up gradually. If you think you have the perfect place for this pair, please contact our Brands Hatch rehoming team via email on bbh.rehomers@battersea.org.uk
