We have recently lost our eight year old female grey to cancer, and have a greyhound shaped hole in our household. We already have a five year old male greyhound and two cats. We had the cats before the dogs and integrated them slowly and they all got on fine, even sleeping together on beds and sofas. Both greys were ex racers and the boy has a really strong prey drive for squirrels and rabbits.
I have been looking through greyhound rescue sites but it seems like all greys are automatically labelled as not cat safe. But none of the centres say whether they have actually tested this or if it's just assumed. So if anyone knows of any centres who do some level of cat assessment to see if they are 'cat trainable', could you point me in that direction? We are based in the north west but would happily travel. We've got dogs straight from the trainers in the past who seem much more willing to take risks with who takes their dogs, but I'd prefer to use a rescue if possible if we can work around the cat issue.
Thanks!
