Courtney & Bont

Bont came to me during covid, just before his 2nd birthday, I was unprepared for the love and safeness he brought to me and I gave to him.

He was immediately a homebody. Loving any soft fluffy surfaces, which quickly changed when we got a German shepherd puppy who became Bonts absolute best friend. Bont is a great teacher, showing what’s okay and what’s not okay inside the house and is very happily able to say “hey I would like to have a 4 hour nap now, leave me alone”.

We adore how tolerant he is of babies and children especially our 1 year old son. We have been so blessed to have Bont in our lives, happy and so very healthy. I couldn’t imagine my life without a greyhound in it ever again.

Love Courtney

Shimmer

4 years old

Shimmer is one bright young pup! Shimmer is a friendly and personable girl and absolutely loves to be silly and puppyish. She has the most adorable little face with eyes that truly stare into your soul! Shimmer can't wait to find her forever family, and she would love a new fam who can play with her, take her on walks and just show her all the enjoyable things that come with living the pet life. We think Shimmer may be okay as an only dog or she may enjoy the company of another doggo and children aged 5 years and older. Shimmer has recently been desexed and would appreciate some quiet time in her new home.

Leaf

1 years old

If those ears were any bigger, he would almost be an elephant! This handsome young boy is still very much a puppy and can still find the world a bit overwhelming at times. He would love a home that would help him gain confidence and learn about being a pet. Leaf is a big softy once you get to know him and we think a home with a nice yard for him to relax in would be better for him whilst he settles in. We also think he may be ok with children 10 and over as long as they are respectful of his space whilst he is getting to know his new life. Leaf has a low-grade heart murmur, which doesn't require any treatment or daily medication.

Clover

3 years old

Meet Clover, a bubbly and outgoing greyhound who's full of energy and enthusiasm! This playful girl loves to have fun, whether that means chasing toys or running around with her favourite friends. Clover's excitable nature means she needs plenty of exercise and playtime to keep her happy and healthy. Clover's looking for a household with or without kids aged 10+, where she can be the only dog or live with a medium to large dog companion. She's not suited to apartment living or elderly owners, as she needs space to run around and play. If you're an active family or individual looking for a fun-loving companion to join your adventures, Clover might be the perfect fit!

George

2 years old

Gorgeous George! Is there anything better than a hound named George? We are smitten with this loveable lad, he is sweet, affectionate, loves looking up at you with his beautiful eyes and asking for just one more chin scratch please! He is quite an unusual Red Brindle as he has minimal stripes on his coat, just another quirky thing to love about him! We think George may suit living with another canine friend of any size and teenagers 15 and over.

Wolf

3 years old

Wolf is a young boy who can be a little unsure in new environments, but once he feels safe, his true personality shines through—he’s playful, puppyish, and full of affection. Wolf has low vision, which doesn’t require medication and isn’t expected to worsen. He navigates the world with confidence once he’s familiar with his surroundings, and his gentle nature makes him a joy to be around. Wolf would thrive in a calm, supportive home where he can be the centre of attention. He’s best suited to being the only dog, as this will help him build trust and settle in at his own pace. He may also do well with older teens who understand his needs and can help him feel secure. To support his ongoing care, Wolf will be adopted with approval for a follow-up appointment with an eye specialist, fully covered by GAP.

Boppy ARP

Are you ready to get Boppy!! Cause this sweet girl is ready to take on life with her own family and show them what having fun is all about. Boppy is an affectionate and happy girl that thinks life is GREAT! She cant wait to have many adventures in her new home with possibly some side kicks (children 10 and over) or just a fun loving owner that is wanting to get out and about and “Bop” around.

Zoom ARP

2 years old

How adorable is Zoom? She is a lovely, quiet and sweet girl who thinks the world is a bit of a scary place. She will be looking for someone special who can show her the way and help her to build her confidence. She really tries hard to please so we think she will flower into a lovely dog. Zoom might be best suited to a quieter home with no children, however she may suit full time workers.

Xinji ARP

3 years old

Xinji (pronounced Shin-jee) is a lovely young girl who has a world of love to give you. She can be a bit of a worrier and can be shy when she first meets you, but with a little bit of time and patience, we know she will blossom into a wonderful companion. She walks well on the lead and will be looking for a quiet household to settle into. She may be happy living with or without another canine companion of any size, though she would prefer having access to a backyard. She may also suit full time workers and living with children aged in their teens.
