Bruiser

How stunning is Bruiser? This boy's brindle colouration is so dark, he almost looks black! He's surely a standout in the crowd. If you're looking for a uniquely coloured boy who is on the small side, then he's the dog for you! Bruiser is a boy who walks well on lead, but sometimes lacks spatial awareness like a goofball! He may suit living in a home with or without another medium or large canine companion, and may suit living with children aged 10 years and over. He would prefer to find a home with a backyard that he can play in.

Jigsaw

4 years old

What a unique name Jigsaw is! Jigsaw has the cutest pointy ears when he is alert. Jigsaw suffers from some anxiety, sudden noises or movements can startle him but generally recovers quickly and moves on. Once his true personality comes out he is very happy playing with his ball and rope, he shakes hands and gets along well with dogs of similar size, saying that he may suit living as an only dog or with a dog of similar size, he will likely suit children aged in their teenage years. Sorry Jigsaw wouldn’t likely suit living in an apartment.

Isha ARP

Isha ARP

3 years old

Isha is a beautiful 3yr old greyhound with the sweetest nature and the most charming smile you’ll ever see.

She can be a little shy when meeting new people, but give her a bit of time and you’ll see her playful, energetic side come to life. Once she warms up, Isha absolutely loves being around her people and has a way of making everyone around her smile right back.

Isha is currently living in a home with two young children and two other greyhounds, so she’s well used to family life. While she has grown up around little kids, she can get a bit excited by them (purely out of love!), so she would likely be best suited to a home with older children (10 and over) who understand her gentle but enthusiastic nature.

She would be best suited to a home with medium or larger male dogs and isn’t suited to living with cats.

Isha would thrive in a quieter, more relaxed environment and we think regional living would suit her perfectly, where she can enjoy space, routine and a calm lifestyle away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a big heart and an even bigger smile, Isha might just be your girl.
