Megan & Romeo

Romeo came into our lives at the end of January after things hadn’t quite worked out in a previous home. We were told he just needed a chance, and a bit of time, and those words couldn’t have been more true.

When he first arrived, Romeo was nervous and standoffish. For the first few weeks, he kept mostly to himself, taking his time to observe and adjust. But with each passing day, we began to see glimmers of the gentle, goofy soul hiding underneath.

As the weeks turned into months, Romeo began to relax, and his gorgeous personality slowly unfurled. Exactly three months after he arrived, Romeo made a very important decision: he claimed the couch as his own… and hasn’t looked back since! These days, Romeo is thriving. He loves his daily “walkies” and takes his sniffari duties very seriously (though he’s still working on walking in a straight line… swerving is kind of his thing). He’s an early riser and insists on morning cuddles to start the day off right.

Routine is everything to Romeo, especially when it comes to dinnertime! He has a special love for anything plush, particularly his beloved Bruce the Shark. He's also developed a hilarious habit of hoarding random household items and has a soft spot for shredding Woolies paper bags (one is never enough). And if you can’t find your uggs, chances are Romeo’s off somewhere giving them a thorough lick! Romeo has the sweetest, most gentle nature. He’s kind, sensitive, and endlessly endearing.

The early growing pains were real, but watching him come out of his shell has been one of the most rewarding experiences of our lives. We’re so lucky to have him.

Love Megan

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.

Lulu ARP

3 years old

You will go 'lala' over Lulu! She is stunning, puppyish and a tad shy but oh so sweet. She will show you her puppyish side once she starts to settle in and you will just fall in love. We think this pretty girl may suit living with another medium or larger male companion and maybe children 10 and over. Anice yard to relax in will be great for Lulu as well.

Honeybee ARP

2 years old

Could you ‘bee’ any sweeter than a Honeybee? Nope! Miss Honeybee is so hoping she will find her field of flowers to call home soon. She can be a bit reserved to start with but you will soon see that sweet side ooze out of her as she settles in. She will look at you for guidance and really loves being told she is a “good girl!” so someone that is willing to give her some time and reassurance as she becomes a pet would be great. We think she may suit homes that have another calm male dog of any size and older children that will give her space to adjust.

Kim ARP

This stunning girl is a real leaner! She will lean on you for pats any opportunity she gets and we are all here for it. This cutie is a quiet and gentle girl that can sometimes be a little shy but she tries her hardest. We think she may thrive in a home that has a bit of a yard to play in and children 10 and over that will love to play with her but also happy to give her space when she wants to just chill. She may also be ok living with another male canine companion of any size.

Pershing ARP

2 years old

If you are looking for a smallish male greyhound, well look no further than Pershing! Pershing can act like an excitable goofy puppy upon first meeting him but then settles down and is a friendly and affectionate boy. Pershing may suit living with or without a canine pal of similar size and children aged 10 years and older. Due to his puppyish nature, he wouldn’t be suited to live in an apartment or with elderly.
