My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This big beautiful brindle boy has spent 5 years at the heart of a young Seattle family, but it’s time he moved on.

A couple of years ago, Almond started to get corns. His family have worked with their vet and a good online group of owners to treat Almond’s sore pads and minimize his pain, but it’s understandable that his enthusiasm for long hikes has gone. If he liked staying in while the family are out and about, everything would be fine, but sadly Almond gets very anxious when left alone. His family have tried everything they, their vet, and a trainer can think of to help him relax while they are away, but unless he’s with another dog, nothing seems to help.

When you meet him, Almond is a total lovebug. He is the absolute opposite of a dominant male, greeting new people with a huge show of deference and a goofy grin. His sore paws make him a true couch potato, although he does enjoy a good zoomie from time to time.

His folks are regular members of the Magnusson Park greyhound meets, so we know he’s calm and social with other hounds.

Basically, he’s a very young senior dog, looking for an easy routine and good company. Phil and Kim have him booked in for his annual physical at the end of the month, but as far as they know, he’s in good fettle. He has recovered very well from a fractured wrist two years ago. He teeth are not awful, but not brilliant.
