JAFFA
Meet the most wonderfully happy and cuddly, family oriented doggy around - Jaffa!
Jaffa is a very handsome 8 year old brindle boy. He has the delightfully happy demeanour of a young man and the distinguished greying eyebrows of a wise old chap.
This lovely greyhound and his fur sister (Lola) have been precious family members for a number of years but unfortunately their family is moving overseas, to a country that would not be suitable for them to live. So their family would like to find them a home together, that will love them as much as they do.
Jaffa and Lola have been loved by two little boys and been exposed to a number of child relatives - they are great around kids, but are probably better suited for living with children over 4. They love cuddles and like nothing more then to lean against you for a pat, or park themselves next to you on the lounge for a cuddle.
Jaffa and Lola have regularly gone for walks with other dogs of different breeds, but Jaffa gets a little too excited with little jumpy dogs to be homed with them. Both Lola and Jaffa are not particularly fond of cats or birds.
Jaffa and Lola are great when walking and will walk next to you, without pulling the lead. They are regularly walked by their 10 year old human brothers.
Jaffa takes a bit longer to pick up instructions, but is able to stop and wait when asked. He really enjoys structure and routine, and is the most beautiful cuddly, gentle giant around.
Jaffa loves to rest his head against people and lean in for chin scritches.
They are both beautiful happy dogs, who are forever walking around chattering and wagging their tails - they would be a beautiful addition to any family.
If you would like to find out more about Jaffa and Lola, please send an email to: hello@greyhoundconnections.com.au or submit an adoption application via the website.
Location: Canberra, ACT
Adoption details
STEP 1 - The Conversation
Fill out the adoption enquiry form on our website and tell us about the type of greyhound you think will suit you and your family, or if you've already found a greyhound that has caught your eye. We aim to get the match right for both your sake and that of the greyhound, so please include as much detail as possible in your enquiry. Just like people, every greyhound is unique. Following receipt of your enquiry form, a volunteer from Greyhound Connections will contact you to chat about the greyhounds we have for adoption that may be suitable, or the greyhound that has caught your eye.
STEP 2 - The Meet 'n' Greet
Once we have found a greyhound that might be a good match we will contact you to arrange an obligation-free meet 'n' greet. This might be at your house or at a place where the greyhound is currently living, or in a public place such as a park or cafe. You will get a chance to meet the dog in person and ask any further questions you may have. If you are feeling confident about the greyhound, we will talk about arranging a trial.
STEP 3 - The Trial
To ensure the fit is right for both your family and the greyhound, we recommend a three week trial. This will help you to see if you and the greyhound settle in together, and become accustomed to each other's behaviours. We will provide you with our Adoption Handbook that provides you with lots of vital greyhound-related information and all of your greyhound's personal details. You will be encouraged to contact us and the breeder, trainer or owner if you have any questions or concerns through the trial period. We will be here to support you and the greyhound all the way, and love to hear how the greyhound is settling in.
STEP 4 - The Adoption
Following a successful trial, we will work with you to finalise the adoption of your new family member. This includes signing our adoption form, registering the greyhound under your name with your local animal services authority and providing proof of this, and your payment of the adoption fee.
