Poet

5 years old

Meet Poet, a handsome male greyhound with a friendly, outgoing nature who enjoys being part of the action. Poet loves people and greets the world with enthusiasm, making him a lovely companion for a home with children aged 10+ or an adults-only household. He’s social and affectionate, happiest when he has company and everyday life happening around him. Poet needs the companionship of another dog, as he doesn’t cope well with being alone, so he’s best suited to a home with an existing canine friend. A secure backyard is essential for him to enjoy outdoor time, and he’s not suited to apartment living. Due to his energy and needs, an elderly home is not recommended. With the right setup, Poet will reward his family with warmth, loyalty, and plenty of happy moments.

Berlin

Berlin

4 years old

Berlin is a quiet and thoughtful greyhound with a cautious, independent nature. He can be a little aloof at first, preferring to observe the world from a comfortable distance while he builds trust in his own time. Berlin isn’t demanding of attention, but he appreciates calm companionship and a predictable routine. His gentle presence makes him well suited to a peaceful home environment. Berlin would thrive in a home with adults or children aged 10+ who understand and respect his need for space. He would be happiest as an only dog or living with a calm canine companion, and he is not cat friendly. With patience and understanding, Berlin will reward his adopters with quiet loyalty and the special bond that comes from earning the trust of a reserved soul.

Boofa

4 years old

Boofa is a sweet, handsome brindle boy who wins hearts wherever he goes. He’s a social and affectionate greyhound who enjoys being part of the action and spending time with his people. Boofa has a gentle nature, loves attention, and is happiest when he’s included as a true family member. Like many greyhounds, he’s still building confidence on slippery floors, so rugs or mats in key areas will help him feel secure as he settles in. Boofa would suit a home with children aged 5+ or adults, where his calm and friendly personality can really shine. He’s best placed as an only dog or with a medium to large canine companion, and he’s not suitable for a home with cats. With the right setup and a loving household, Boofa will return your kindness with endless affection and quiet companionship.

Meet Chandler, no he isn't like the Chandler from friends, he is quite the oposite really. He is an introvert and enjoys the quiet life. He finds new people and new environments a bit scary and takes a hot minute to warm up to people, then he becomes friendly and personable. Chandler may suit living with or without a canine friend of any size or breed and children aged 10 years and older, he may find the smallest children too scary. A quiet home will be best for this Chandler.
