Pistachio

6 years old

Meet Pistachio — a gentle soul with a quietly charming presence, as comforting and pleasing as his namesake. This handsome male Greyhound is a more reserved character, preferring calm companionship over chaos, but once he warms up, his affectionate nature truly shines. Pistachio is wonderfully personable, forming strong bonds with his people and happily leaning in for his favourite thing in the world — ear scratches. He’s completed behavioural rehabilitation training and is well on his way, but will still benefit from a patient home willing to continue guiding his manners at a steady, supportive pace. Pistachio will thrive in a peaceful home with adults or families with children 18+, where his gentle nature can be respected — he’s not suited to homes with elderly individuals. He can live as an only dog or alongside a calm, medium to large canine companion, but cannot be placed with small dogs or cats. While he enjoys a relaxed lifestyle, Pistachio still needs a suitable home environment that allows him space to feel secure and settled. For the right adopter, he’ll be a loyal, loving companion — a soft, steady presence with just the right amount of sweetness.
