The two-year-old takes time to build trust but once confident, reveals a playful character that has melted the hearts of staff at Dogs Trust Shoreham.

Zack cannot be taken through the charity’s new handover at home process, as he will need to meet his new owner multiple times to build up a bond before leaves the Brighton Road centre, but it is hoped people looking for gentle giant will keep him in mind for the future.

Adel Burnett, rehoming centre manager, said: “Zack is an endearing, ex-racing greyhound who has hung up his running shoes in exchange for a quiet life.

“This gentle giant is shy in his nature, so it takes him a little while to build up his trust in new people. However, he’s a real foodie, so the offer of a tasty treat, as well as some patience, will earn you his curiosity and set the foundations for a long-lasting friendship.

“Once he knows you well, Zack will reveal a playful, goofy side to his character that will melt your heart. He becomes giddy and animated when it’s time to go for a walk, or when presented with his dinner bowl.”

The other dogs at the centre are helping Zack to build confidence and he adores spending time with them, so it is essential he lives with a well-rounded, friendly dog in his new home.

Zack cannot live with any other pet species or people aged 14 and under. Ideally, the home would be quiet and peaceful, with a garden but not too many visitors .
