I just can't imagine why you would abandon him:

We have just adopted a red setter that was in an awful state and to be quite honest was lucky to not have been run over. Four weeks on he is doing quite well. This Wednesday he is being Micro Chipped, vaccinated and neutralised.

People just throw dogs out of their fast moving cars over here. They either can't afford to feed them anymore OR they aint cute puppies anymore.  The countryside is awash with abandoned dogs. All very sad.

Type of home needed:

Tails is playful with his kennel mate and may live happily with another dog, he should also be fine homed with older kids. Tails is easy to walk and would love a secure garden to run around in.

He is a saluki, otherwise known as an Egyptian greyhound. They are quite rare and are really friendly, graceful dogs. Just cannot understand why he would be abandoned. Maybe the owner will claim him, I hope so.

It's running dog - size of a big greyhound.
As with all other greyhound types, they have two speeds - on and off.
"On" is about 45mph for about 10 minutes, twice a day - best done outside, but can be round the living room (think "wall of death")
"Off" is asleep, on the sofa (usually the whole sofa) for 23hrs 40 minutes.
"eating" is usually undertaken at a speed so great that it can't be measured - more "inhaling" than swallowing, and they are UNFILLABLE - a 17kg bag of bakers complete in a day, throwing it up and re-eating it until the whole bag is gone.   :o
Live a *long* time - 16-20 years is usual, IME

Thick as pig-sh** tho - virtually untrainable apart from three commmands - "eat" "run" "sleep" - and even then, it's not so much a "command" as a description of what they're already doing.
That's why proper hunting lurchers are  a cross-breed of these, and a trainable dog, like a collie.
