Pointy fans - meet Cash His coat isn't exactly tip-top condition, but a bit of tlc and a good nutritious diet should have him looking like a million dollars in no time. Cash is a retired greyhound. He has taken early retirement from the racetrack and is looking forward to a leisurely future. He has settled into kennels really well, and although being a pet will be a whole new experience for him, we think he's going to enjoy the luxury of getting the prize without having to tear around a track. We gave Cash the pick of the toybox, he picked out a small yellow fluffy toy, and carried it around as if he had won the jackpot! Cash wasn't minded to race around in top gear when we took him into the garden. He lolloped around a little, had a pit stop at the pool, and a casual sniff around the garden He definitely wasn't up for exerting himself, and was more than happy to take his toy back to his kennel. Greyhounds are known to be couch potatoes, and Cash wasn't going to bust that myth. Greyhounds can be very low maintenance, undemanding pets, so if you don't fancy climbing Pen y Fan every weekend, and prefer slippers to trainers, a greyhound could be the dog for you! For more information or if you'd like to meet Cash please phone the Dogs' Home: 029 2071 1243 or visit Cardiff Dogs' Home, Westpoint Industrial Estate, Penarth Road, open 7 days a week, 10.30 - 4pm.

Mum and I took the wonderful Cash out last weekend with his friend Lee. We had a great time up the hill in Grangemoor Park. The boys were good as gold, and as Lee was quite timid it was good for him to have a 4 legged friend with him. Good boy Cash. Mum fell head over heels for Cash - his chilled out companionship on the walk won her over. He's a lovely boy.

Is this chap still available for adoption? My wife and I would very much be interested. Also, do you have any links to information regarding the process of adoption? We live in a rented house and the garden has some low walls etc (a typical welsh garden feature it seems) so i'm looking for advice regarding home requirements and visits for assessment etc. Thanks for any help you can offer with this. -DD

Hi designdude, Just a volunteer walker here, but from what I've seen the candidates are asked to provide written permission from their landlord and all resident pets/children/adults need to meet the dog in advance. I am not sure what the exact requirements for garden walls are, there is quite a lengthy form that you fill in. Staff in CDH are so helpful, just pay them a visit or give them a ring - they can tell you all the details! Here is a link to their contact page: www.cardiff.gov.uk/ENG/resident/Animal-Welfare/Cardiff-Dogs-Home/Contact-us/Pages/Contact-us.aspx Cash is so wonderful! Rooting for you two! P.S. Which agency/landlord are you renting with if you don't mind me asking? We are also looking to rent a pet-friendly home soon, but struggle to find landlords that are willing to allow pets on their property..

Thanks for the information Nickie, I really appreciate it. We rent directly with a landlord so luckily we don't have any issues with a letting agency causing trouble.

Greyhounds have gone right to the top of my list of breeds Id love to rescue. Everything I read about them is good - friendly, placid dogs that make wonderful companions.
