| Comments: | King's first adopter loved him dearly but sadly had to give him up because of personal reasons that had nothing to do with him. He was given to another adoption group. His second adoption was an unwise placement (wife wanted a dog exactly like her first one) and didn't last long. So he's here with us now, hoping that the third time will be the charm. |
| Update: | King was in a foster home for a few weeks,
but apparently has some alpha tendencies that didn't sit
well with the dogs already in residence there. He's been
in our kennel for a few weeks now and so far has gotten
along fine with his kennel mates. But his heart is with
humans. 3/12/02 - King has gone home as part of a pair of new Greyhounds. Sid is his new brother. 5/18/02 - King and Sid have both been returned because of separation anxiety problems. In King's case, they didn't appear to be too severe, but he's lost three homes now (the first two because of family problems not his fault), so his ability to gain confidence in a new family is fading. He needs other dogs around him, but more importantly, he needs people with him much of the time. He's fairly quiet, and while he does fine with kids, he prefers the company of adults, especially women. A stay-at-home mom or a retired person/couple would be perfect for him. 12/18/02 - King was adopted again during the summer, but has just come back once more. Because of losing three previous families, his separation anxiety has become severe. His last family was with him a lot of the time, but there were no other Greyhounds. The other family dog, a small one, just didn't do it for him. Now King needs a home in which there will be people with him most of the time, AND another Greyhound pal. He still gets along fine with kids and does well with other dogs. He appears to be losing his alpha tendencies and mellowing out now. |
