Adopter Reggie
Greyhound · Ukendt · Lam · 4 måneder
Sophie har lavet en fantastisk video af Reggie. Han har været i plejefamilieophold. Sammendrag af plejefamilierapporten for Reggie Jeg havde for nylig fornøjelsen af at passe Reggie i mit hjem sammen med mine to greyhounds. I starten var jeg lidt bekymret, da denne lille dreng aldrig før havde boet uden for kennelområdet. Men sikke en fantastisk dreng han er! Reggie er en mindre end gennemsnitlig greyhound, der naturligt er følsom og lige nu er lidt usikker på sig selv. Det viser sig i adskillelsesangst, og han har desperat brug for en person eller en familie, der er til stede det meste af tiden, mens han arbejder på at opbygge sin selvtillid og kan efterlades alene i korte perioder. Ud over dette er Reggie simpelthen helt utrolig. Han er en virkelig smart dreng, der opfatter 'kommandoer' med ekstraordinær hurtighed. Han lærte næsten øjeblikkeligt 'sidde', 'ned', 'bliv', 'på din seng'. Den første aften var han yderst interesseret i at deltage i min middag! Jeg satte ham tilbage på hans seng og fortalte ham 12 gange, hvor god en dreng han var, før han blev, hvor han var. Tre dage senere sad han bare på sin seng, mens jeg spiste mad. Reggie mestrede trapper med det samme og kunne sagtens bo i en lejlighed. Han er en drøm at gå tur med, og er en total letvægt i snoren. Han er ikke så interesseret i andre hunde og går gerne forbi dem uden problemer. Han er mere opmærksom, når det gælder ræve, men da han er en letvægt, er det intet, der ikke kan klares med en 'god dreng' og en pølse. Han trækker kun, når han er nervøs – undgå travle tidspunkter (rush hour osv.), og der er ingen problemer. Reggie elsker sin mad. Han spiste gerne godbidder sammen med mine 2 greyhounds, men skulle fodres med sine måltider separat, hvilket, for at være retfærdig, er god praksis for alle hunde, der ikke er vant til at gøre andet. Hvis dette råd ikke følges, i hvert fald i starten, vil han udvikle problemer med at beskytte ressourcerne i forbindelse med mad, fordi han aldrig har kendt noget andet og er bange for at gå glip af sin del. Han sover hele natten. Han er stille og gør sjældent vokal, medmindre han bliver efterladt alene. Efter en dag eller to var han glad for at være i et andet rum end mig, så længe han vidste, at jeg var i nærheden, og han kunne ‘checke ind’ fra tid til anden – han valgte endda at sove i stuen sammen med min drenggreyhound, fremfor i mit soveværelse, selvom alle døre var åbne for ham. Reggie ER VILD MED knirkende legetøj og kan underholde sig selv i timevis med disse – hold blot øje med ham, for han er REGGIE DESTRUKTØREN med sit legetøj, og jeg mangler flere ‘ører og arme’ fra hundens bløde legetøj! Når det er sagt, var han fuldstændig uinteresseret i at tygge på andre ting, der ikke tilhørte ham. Jeg havde ‘valpekompliceret’ mit hjem for at holde ham sikker, men indså snart, at han ikke ville spise fjernbetjeningen eller stjæle mine sokker! Dine møbler og lignende er trygge med denne lille fyr. Reggie ville passe godt til en ejer eller ejere, der er blide, venlige, tålmodige og fortæller ham 100 gange om dagen, hvor god en dreng han er. Han ville ikke passe til ejere, der skriger, tror på nogen form for negativ træning eller bliver sure. Han fortjener bedre end det. Jeg vil heller ikke anbefale at adoptere Reggie, hvis du har små, ophidsede børn i hjemmet eller på besøg, da han er en genert dreng, der ikke har oplevet meget af den store verden, og som sådan kan pludselige lyde og bevægelser være skræmmende – selvom jeg er sikker på, at dette vil forbedres 100 % med tiden. Sammenfattende stjal denne dreng mit hjerte. Han er uden tvivl en af de nemmeste redningshunde, jeg nogensinde har haft, og hvis det ikke var for adskillelsesangsten, som jeg er sikker på vil forbedres med tiden, og fordi jeg skal forlade huset for at arbejde eller gå tur med mine andre hunde (jeg er ikke i stand til at håndtere 3 store hunde fysisk – men hvis du kan – han går smukt med andre greyhounds), ville jeg adoptere Reggie på et splitsekund. Da hans ophold hos mig sluttede, græd jeg floder. Jeg savner ham frygteligt, og det stopper ikke, før jeg hører, at han er i et hjem med en person eller personer, der kan forkæle ham helt vildt, som han fortjener. Hvis du giver Reggie tid, tålmodighed, forståelse og kærlighed, vil du blive belønnet med en livslang følgesvend. Held og lykke, Reggie Roo – vi savner dig så meget.

Sophie has done a great video of Reggie. has been on a foster stay.Summary foster report for Reggie I recently had the pleasure of looking after Reggie in my home alongside my two greyhounds. I was initially apprehensive given that this little boy had never lived outside the kennel environment before. But what an amazing boy he is. Reggie is a smaller than average greyhound who is naturally sensitive to and currently a bit unsure of himself. This manifests in separation anxiety and he desperately needs a person or family who are around most of the time while he works on building his confidence to be left alone for short periods.Other than this, Reggie is quite simply, amazing.He is a really clever boy who picks up ‘commands’ with extraordinary speed. He learned ‘sit’, ‘down’, ‘stay’, ‘on your bed’ almost immediately. On the first night, he was extremely interested in joining in my dinner time! I put him back on his bed and told him what a good boy he was 12 times before he stayed put. Fast forward 3 days and he simply stayed on his bed while I ate my food. Reggie mastered stairs immediately and could easily live in a flat.He is a dream to walk, and is a total lightweight on the lead. He is not that interested in other dogs and happy to walk by them without any problems. He is more switched on when it comes to foxes, but being a lightweight, nothing that cannot be managed with a ‘good boy’ and a sausage. He only pulls when he is anxious – avoid busy times (rush hour etc) and there are no issues.Reggie adores his food. He happily ate treats alongside my 2 greyhounds, but would need to be fed his meals separately, which to be fair, is good practice for all dogs who are not used to doing otherwise. If this advice is not followed, at least initially, he will develop issues around resource guarding with food, because he has never known any different and is scared he will miss out on his share. He sleeps through the night. He is quiet, and rarely barks unless he is left alone. After a day or two, he was happy to be in a different room to me as long as he knew I was around and he could ‘check in’ from time to time, even choosing to sleep in the living room with my boy greyhound, rather than in my bedroom, although all doors were open to him.Reggie ADORES squeaky toys and will entertain himself for ages with these – just keep an eye on him as he is REGGIE THE DESTROYER with his toys and I am missing multiple ‘ears and arms’ from doggy soft toys! That said, he was completely disinterested in chewing other things that did not belong to him. I had ‘puppy proofed’ my home to keep him safe, but soon realised he was not going to eat the remote control of steal my socks! Your soft furnishings etc are safe with this little guy.Reggie would suit an owner or owners who are gentle, kind, patient and will tell him 100 x a day what a good boy he is. He would not suit owners who shout, believe in any form of negative training or get cross. He deserves better than that. I would not advise adopting Reggie if you have small excitable children either in the home or visiting as he is a shy boy who has not experienced much of the outside world and as such, sudden noises and movements can be scary – although I am confident this will improve 100% with time. In summary, this boy stole my heart. He is without doubt one of the easiest rescue dogs I have ever had, and if it wasn’t for the separation anxiety which I am confident will improve with time, and having to leave the house for work or to walk my other dogs (I am not physically able to manage 3 large dogs – but if you can – he walks beautifully with other greyhounds) I would adopt Reggie in a heartbeat. When his stay with me ended, I cried buckets. I miss him terribly and this won’t end until I hear that he is in a home with a person or people who can spoil him rotten, as he deserves. If you give Reggie time, patience, understanding and love, you will be rewarded with the companion of a lifetime. Good luck Reggie Roo – we miss you so much.
