Hello, I'm Peter

I'm a 5-year-old Greyhound from Thirsk rehoming centre and I'm looking for my forever home. Please read my profile below to find out more.

About me

Looking for a gentle giant with a heart full of love and a personality that will make you smile every day? Then let us introduce the wonderful Peter!

This handsome lad is all about affection. Whether you're a familiar friend or someone he's just met, Peter will happily wander over for a fuss, lean gently into you, and soak up every bit of attention. Give him a good bum scratch and you'll be rewarded with his adorable little happy stomps that never fail to make people laugh.

Peter takes comfort from his beloved soft toys and enjoys having them close by when it's time to relax. He also has one true foodie love: chicken! Chicken treats, chicken feet, or pretty much anything chicken flavoured, and you'll instantly become his favourite person.

A laid-back and easy-going boy, Peter enjoys shorter walks where he can take his time exploring and sniffing the world around him. When outdoors, he's much more interested in taking in his surroundings than snacking, but indoors he's always happy to tuck into a tasty treat. Peter loves being close to his handlers and enjoys spending quality time with his favourite people. When the day is done, this lazy lad is more than happy to settle down for a snooze, content just being nearby. He has a wonderfully calm nature and isn't demanding, making him a lovely companion to have around the home.

Peter wouldn't be suited to share his home with children and could potentially live with another dog who matches his gentle, easy going personality. If you're searching for a loyal best friend who gives endless love, and the sweetest little stomps, Peter could be the perfect match.
