Jess

4 years old

She gives off “Elle Wood” – Legally Blonde vibes and she is totally okay with it! This fun, flirty, sweet girl is beauty and brains rolled into one and we know she is going to make a great family addition. We think she may suit children 10 and over and may also suit living with her own Bruiser– just as long as they are a little robust and happy to play. Her race name suggests ‘Nobody’s Perfect’ but Jess would probably tell you otherwise!

Why adopt a greyhound?

Loving and loyal

Once a Greyhound lets you in, they become incredibly loyal, forming 
deep bonds and showing affectionate devotion.

Quiet companions

Greyhounds are quiet and reserved, making them excellent neighbors 
in shared living spaces.

Independent thinkers

Greyhounds are obedient yet independent, combining problem-solving skills with a self-assured nature.
