Pokey is a very gentle boy who looks for reassurance in new situations. He prefers to stay at home with his people and play in the yard. He is older so short, gentle walks are fine but long walks or runs will be too strenuous for him. He gets along very well with other dogs of all sizes and temperaments and ignores the cats in his foster home. He is not a leader and likes to have people or dogs around to so he can relax and be a good follower.

Pokey gets an upset digestive system when he is stressed and changes make him stressed. He will make a wonderful companion for people who have a quiet, relaxed lifestyle and don’t expect to do a lot of traveling or moving with him.

Pokey has been cleared medically and has been placed on a special food to keep his digestion working smoothly. He is also on a mild pain releiver for his age related arthritis. Pokey is doing great on both and plays in the yard with other dogs and has not had any problems with his digestion since early March.

Pokey is ready to find his perfect home-for-life. He will make a wonderful companion for people who have a quiet, relaxed lifestyle and don’t expect to do a lot of traveling or moving with him. His food is special but not too expensive and as long as he is kept from stress, he does great.

Pokey has found his home-for-life and now lives very happily with other greyhounds and people who just love him. He is feeling so good that he plays in the yard, taking short runs and playing with toys. He gets along great with all the other dogs in his new home and has been in perfect health with only one minor episode of stress related illness but that only lasted one day and he has bounced back to his happy self.
