Bond

5 years old

Bond is licensed to thrill! This handsome greyhound is a friendly, outgoing boy with a larger-than-life personality and a mission to keep life exciting. Bond loves meeting people, launching into spectacular zoomie sessions, and bringing his signature puppyish enthusiasm to everything he does. Impulsive, excitable, and always ready for his next adventure, he's the kind of dog who turns every walk into an action-packed outing. Whether he's dashing around the yard or charming his admirers, Bond approaches life with all the confidence and energy of a secret agent on assignment. Bond is seeking an active home with children aged 5 years and over, or adults who can appreciate his exuberant nature. Due to his enthusiastic greeting style and tendency to get carried away in the excitement of the moment, a home with elderly people would not be suitable. Bond would be happiest as an only dog where he can be the star of the show, but he may also suit a home with a medium to large canine companion who can match his playful energy. Bond is not suitable to live with cats and will need a feline-free home. If you're looking for a loyal partner with a licence for fun, Agent Bond is ready to accept his next mission – and it could be with you. When Bond had his dental done in August 2026 areas of gum thickening were noted and biopsies taken. Results showed fibrous gingival hyperplasia, with is a benign thickening of the gums.

Sylvie

3 years old

Sylvie is a sweet, friendly and affectionate girl who brings joy wherever she goes. Often described as a true ball of happiness, she has a playful, puppyish nature and loves being involved in whatever her people are doing. She seeks eye contact, enjoys human company and is eager to please, making her a lovely companion to spend time with. Sylvie adores pats and attention, walks nicely on lead, and is always ready to head off on a new adventure. Sylvie has a low-grade heart murmur, which doesn't require any medication or affect her day-to-day life. Full of energy and enthusiasm, Sylvie loves a good sniffari, a playful romp with other dogs, and a refreshing paddle in the water on a hot day. One of her favourite pastimes is digging in the garden before bursting into an excited zoomie around the yard. She may suit a home with or without a canine companion of a similar size and could happily live with children aged five years and older. With her active and playful nature, Sylvie will likely thrive in a home with a secure backyard where she can stretch her legs, explore, and continue spreading her happiness every day. Sylvie has successfully completed some further training in our onsite behavioural rehabilitation program and is now ready for adoption!
