Still "in the kennel"
All of our greyhounds are fully temperament tested prior to acceptance, and as a first introduction to pet life, they live in foster care in a home environment as inside companions, most spend some time in a home with a little dog.
They are desexed, wormed, heartworm tested and treated, flea treated, C5 vaccinated and microchipped prior to going into foster care. They then spend on average 8 weeks in a home environment prior to adoption, so by the time they are ready to head off into the big wide world, we have excellent knowledge of individual requirements for their perfect forever home.
We are the Greyhound Pet People - our matching abilities are second to none!
They come with a collar, lead, coat and muzzle, and we organise to have the microchip changed into your name.
An adoption donation of $245 applies to recover some of the costs associated with rehoming.

KELLY aged 2
Kelly is a smart girl - she knew she could fast track her place on the couch by not wanting to race. She is young and active, and is brushing up on her manners in foster care. While in foster care Kelly has learnt to sit and drop - no mean feat for a greyhound!
Kelly's forever home will provide her lots of love, daily walks and continuation with her obedience training as she loves it.
Kelly will do fine as an only dog with full time workers.

PATCH - aged 3
Not only is Patch very handsome - he has the personality to match. Laid back yet playful, Patch really is the man for all seasons.
He has just headed off into foster care, and will be available for adoption mid March - by then we will know more about him, and the type of forever home he will be seeking.

POPPY - aged 1
Poppy is a girl on the go - active with a capital A. She will need an owner with the time and patience to take her to obedience classes, and keep up with her training. She is very affectionate and wants to sit on your lap! Loves to play with her doggy friends and enjoys her walks.
Poppy will need doggy company to play with in her forever home.

PEGGY - aged 5
Peggy is a bigger girl. She is very easy going and is already settled as a pet. She is house trained, loves to hang around the house all day, but most of all, Peggy loves her person. She continually follows her carer around, and tries to climb on to her lap for a cuddle! She is just adorable.
Peggy will do fine as an only dog, so long as she is inside with her people when they are home, and gets lots of affection and attention. She would also be suited to an owner who isn't too keen on walking, as Peggy can take it or leave it. A decent sized back yard, and a car ride everyday would suit her fine.

TEDDY - aged 5
Teddy is a happy friendly boy who just loves people. He can't believe his luck in getting to live in a house with comfy (dog) bedding. He's so grateful, he gives his foster carers a quick kiss every time they're near. He's been clean in the house since day one, and makes sure his plate is fully wiped at every meal! He's also discovered 'collecting' and enjoys toys, clothes, towels, really anything that isn't pinned down - but he'll settle once he realises that he'll be able to keep things from now on. Teddy is not an assertive dog and gets on well with all other dogs.
Teddy is considered special needs because he has pannus - an eye condition that left untreated can cause vision loss and even blindness. Treatment once past the acute stage usually requires one drop once a day or every second day. Beacuse of his condition, Teddy needs to be an inside pet and kept out of bright sunshine as much as possible.
ANNIE - aged 4
Annie is just heading off to foster care. She has spent lots of time with her trainers grand children, so will make a lovely family pet.
More information to come before she is ready for adoption towards the end of March.
