Somewhere between a cuddle and a wagging tail, you'll find Tama. ❤️ Tama is a handsome black boy with a lovely friendly nature and plenty of affection to give. He's outgoing, cuddly and enjoys human company, although he does occasionally look to his people for a little reassurance and encouragement. He's a sweet boy who would love a family he can feel safe and settled with. While Tama enjoys being social, he does appreciate having the right company around him. He's happiest with other greyhounds who are friendly and easy-going rather than dominant or overpowering. He would suit a quieter household, ideally with someone who is home a little more often, giving him the companionship and confidence he enjoys. Tama has also shown himself to be a lovely gentleman when meeting smaller dogs. He's been introduced to several small breeds and was happy to sniff and be sniffed, showing no undesirable behaviours. He's also been assessed as cat trainable, so with the right introductions and management, he may be able to share his home with feline friends too. Tama is looking for a home where he can enjoy being part of the family, have plenty of companionship and feel comfortable enough to let his lovely personality shine. A quieter environment with a little extra time and reassurance will help him settle in and build a wonderful bond with his new family. Tama's ideal family will: ❤️ Be looking for a friendly, cuddly and affectionate companion ❤️ Enjoy having a loving dog who appreciates a little reassurance and encouragement ❤️ Offer a quieter household with someone home more often ❤️ Have friendly, non-dominant canine companions, if they have other dogs ❤️ Be open to a dog who may be able to live with smaller dogs or cats following appropriate introductions In return, Tama will bring plenty of affection, companionship and love into your home. He's a sweet, outgoing boy who just wants a family to call his own, and we think he'll make someone a very special companion. ❤️
If Tama isn't quite the right fit, these dogs are close matches.
