About this Dog
Here's a revised version of your enquiry: --- **Tell us about your enquiry** Hello, We adopted a beautiful greyhound named Ed from Battersea 5 months ago. From the beginning, he bonded closely with my partner, but building trust with me took longer. Initially, we had a few incidents where he growled and ran towards me. However, I remained calm, gave him space, and over time, this approach helped us build some trust. Ed is wonderful with other people and dogs, which has been reassuring. Unfortunately, recent events beyond our control have caused a significant regression in his behavior. In June, we went away for a few days and left Ed with a dog sitter whom we had met beforehand. However, while we were away, she threw a large party at our flat, which exposed Ed to many unfamiliar people. Shortly after, we moved to a new flat, which understandably was a stressful experience for him. A week after the move, while Ed was playing in the garden and starting to settle in, he cut his leg badly on a piece of metal we hadn’t noticed on a step. The injury was severe, hitting an artery and requiring emergency surgery and frequent vet visits for a month. Thankfully, his leg has healed really well, but these experiences seem to have affected his trust in me. Recently, we had a frightening incident where Ed experienced extreme sleep startle. I called his name, thinking he was awake, but he must not have been fully awake. He jumped up, pinning me in the corner with his front paws while barking and growling in my face. Thankfully, he was muzzled, and he only stopped when my partner intervened. Although he improved slightly after this incident, he has since started growling at me seemingly out of nowhere. He often gives me little to no warning before getting up and running towards me, barking and growling. I’ve been trying to give him as much space as possible, but we’re reaching a point where we’re worried that we may not be the best fit for him. He’s a loving dog with other people and very responsive to training, but he’s stopped listening to me, which is concerning. While this isn’t happening all the time, it’s frequent enough to make me worry that we’re contributing to his anxiety rather than helping him. I genuinely believe Ed has the potential to be an amazing pet for another family or couple, but I’m not sure we can provide the care and stability he needs given our current lifestyle. The thought of returning him to Battersea is heartbreaking, especially knowing that his current behaviours might affect his chances of finding a new home. I believe he can be rehabilitated with the right care, but we’re not sure if we’re capable of providing that.

Adopt Ed and Receive Dogecoin
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Ed's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised. Dogecoin is digital currency that can be exchanged for cash, traded, or held as an investment (see the "What is Dogecoin" section below).
20 DOGE is Ed's current Dogecoin balance
20 DOGE
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. If you adopted the Ed, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Ed's Dogecoin here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the Dogecoin by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Ed was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Ed’s Dogecoin balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.

We want the Ed’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Ed’s balance will remain in our general Dogecoin fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
