Speedy James wants a home to call his own

James is located at Battersea’s Old Windsor location.

James’ ideal environment

James is not like your typical Greyhound in that he is not a couch potato! He is an active, energetic pooch who loves to be out and about. Due to this, he would be happier in a country or suburban home. Being a sighthound, he can’t be trusted alone with small animals, and as such, would do better as the only pet in the house. He will be happy to share his home with teens, though he may be a bit too boisterous for young children.

Caring for James

As with any Greyhound, James is a wash-and-wear kind of dog! Grooming and shedding are nothing to worry about with him. James is only 3 years old, and Greyhounds tend to live pretty long lives, so be prepared for a lengthy commitment!

Training James

James has had some issues with other dogs in the past, but since being with Battersea, his behaviour has improved greatly! He will need a home with owners who are prepared to continue his socialisation and positive reinforcement-based training over time. Good news though: he is highly food motivated, so if you’re determined enough, training will be a breeze!

A clown to keep you entertained

James has been described by his carers as a bit of a goon, a charismatic, life-loving pooch who LOVES human interaction! If you’re looking for an active and affectionate companion, he may just be the perfect pooch for you.
