Meet Audrey, our (almost) six-year old black beauty! Audrey was adopted through Amazing Greys almost two-years ago and found life as a couch potato very much to her liking. Although her human adores her very much, sadly her circumstances have changed, and she has asked us if we can help find a new home just as perfect for her darling girl. Do you think Audrey could be your pawfect pal? Audrey likes her life to be a nice blend of playful and calm. She wants to be near you so you can scratch her ears or belly and she hopes any visitors of your will pay their ‘pat’ tax as they walk through the door. Audrey thinks squeaky toys are just the best and in fact, they are so fun, she doesn’t even need her humans to play – she’ll throw and catch all on her own. If you do have a bit of a backyard this would be a bonus for Audrey but she does like to ‘hide’ her special treats (and not-so-special treats such as denta-stix) so a small kids sandpit might provide a perfect hidey-hole for her. Plus, she’s partial to the odd sunbathe outdoors. Given this, we would prefer to place Audrey in a home with at least a small outdoor space, so no apartments without courtyards please. Like most greyhounds, Audrey loves a chance to explore her surroundings and a morning and afternoon walk are a must. However, prior to coming to Amazing Greys, Audrey was harassed by the resident whippets in her home and consequently she is not such a fan of other dog breeds. She walks nicely on-leash in general but can be reactive to other dogs and needs some on-going training to learn they are not so scary or interesting. Simple techniques like wearing a muzzle as a precaution, crossing the road or giving her space, avoiding busy ‘dog’ areas and positive reinforcement treats training will help and we can support her new family in helping her learn this. Overall, Audrey has lovely house-manners. She has her own personal beanbag that she nestles into a comfy shape, she refrains from stealing the human food off the bench, and she is perfectly toilet-trained. She has been alone for FT work hours with no signs of separation anxiety and seems happy to be an only dog. Given Audrey is well-accustomed to pet life, we don’t think she will have much trouble at all settling into her new home. Audrey could possibly be introduced to a home with existing greyhounds but is not suited to living with other dog breeds or cats. Please contact us at adopt@amazinggreys.com.au if you think you can offer the lovely Audrey her perfect forever home.

Is anything more fun than sharing your life with a greyhound? You betcha! How about sharing your life with TWO greyhounds? Meet Pinky and Purple, our bonded brother and sister pair! These 5-year old hounds are siblings and best buds. They are sweet and affectionate with each other and never seem to grumble over food or beds – no sibling rivalry here! Both ex-racers, Pinky and Purple spent the first few years of their lives out in the country however have adapted to the sounds and sights of inner-city magically. New experiences don’t seem to phase them, and pint-sized Pinky being the more confident of the two always looks out for her big bro if he’s feeling a tad unsure. Pinky and Purple adore humans and right know that we exist for pats, ear-scritches, belly-rubs and treats. They’ll make you feel as adored and special as you make them feel, and like to check in to see what you are up to. Morning and afternoon walks are highlights of the day, where they love to saunter along in front of their humans, taking in all the neighbourhood smells. Their other favourite time of day is naptime (so basically, anytime that is not walkies time). Being a petite 25 kg’s Pinky is basically a greyhound lapdog and takes her couch-potato duties seriously. Purple, however, takes laziness to a new level and instead of exerting energy jumping on the couch prefers to sprawl on his own bed or mat. They are both showing themselves to be clever cookies and have learned to greet new humans politely instead of jumping in excitement, and to wait patiently while their humans come in and out of the front door. They get up when their humans do and don’t mind a bit of a weekend lie-in. When left home alone, they keep each other company and have not shown any signs of anxiety or destructive behavior. They don’t steal food from the counters and are learning that food on human plates is for humans only. Keeping in mind that pet life is still new to them both, Purple hasn’t picked up toilet training as quickly as his ladylike sister and will need some patience and on-going learning. His current foster home have only a small courtyard with no grass, and we think toilet training would be much easier if he had a yard. For this reason, a home where the pups have access to outside when their humans are out, and if possible at nights, while he continues his training would be perfect. We have lots of helpful resources to aid this process and can also enlist the help of one of the canine behaviourists we know and trust. Pinky and Purple have been friendly to other greyhounds they have met on walks however prior to coming to Amazing Greys had not had exposure to other dog breeds. Although they do not appear to be reactive on walks, please no applications from homes with medium-small breeds or cats. If you think these peas-in-a-pod sound as irresistible as they look and are interested in fostering or adopting, please email at adopt@amazinggreys.com.au

Do you have a list of your "dream dog" qualities? Does it go a little something like this? - Great leash manners - Toilet trained - Friendly with all other dogs - Small animal tolerant - Very affectionate - Travels well - Calm and polite Well let us introduce you to our gentleman Jack! This sweet boy would prefer a home where his people are around more often than not, as he is quite the little shadow and will follow you unobtrusively observing from a respectful distance, and delighting in any affection that may be offered. He would be perfectly suited as an "office dog" where he can spend a work day snuggled up in a cozy corner, or would happily stay home as long as he has a calm canine companion (no high energy breeds please, Jack is not very interested in a playmate and would much prefer a stately older pal for synchronised naps). While in our care Jack has not been tested with children, however he was surrendered to us as the baby in his household made him quite nervous when crawling - so we feel an adult only home would be best suited. ** While Jack has been tested as small animal tolerant, he is not suited to a home with cats **
