Dexter

Greyhound

Quiet Gentle man

Sexy Dexy - Dexter Not cat friendly Needs a companion medium/large dogs Any age children as a gentle fella Part time or Fulltime workers At just over 4 years of age, Dexter is a beautiful brindle boy, at around 30 kg's, he would be one of the most gentlest and easy going hounds to have around. He is so chilled out and will fit in with any new family! Because of his nature, a new home with children of any age would be fine, although as with all dogs, supervision with very young children is important. He would quite happily live with medium to large companions and in his foster homes has quite happily lived with other hounds. In saying this though, he would also be happy as an only dog as he can amuse himself and is very laid back. Loves to sleep (as we know most to all hounds do) but Dexter does not like cats, so a home without kitties is a must. He loooves his toys! He will launch himself on them with a burst of energy on any unsuspecting one and will keep it a prisoner whilst he has a play and a chew. He makes you laugh with his antics and is just a funny boy. He doesn't seemed too worried about other dogs on his daily walks, loves to sniff at different smells, may pull a little, but is easily corrected and walks well. He would be able to live with people who either work Fulltime or Part time because of his ability to keep himself entertained. Just leave him with a vast collection of his favourite toys and he will be happy. Dexter is just a lovely boy and is very eager to have a new home and family to love, he has the biggest heart and the family who is lucky to have Dexy will have so many years full of fun and happiness with this guy!

Maxi

Greyhound

Shiny black Princess

Maxi Not cat friendly Full time, Part time workers or Retirees Family with children aged 8 years plus Medium/Large Male dog for companion or single dog home. 'Shine Bright like a Diamond, Shine Bright like a Diamond, Shining bright like a diamond We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky' Sung by Rihana, this song was written for Maxi we think, such a beautiful soul inside and out. Jet black, with a spray of white on her chest, a fine medium build and the most glorious coat, for a girl who will be 8 in November, just a stunner! She loves sleeping and relaxing, loves minkie blankets, on your bed, on the couch, anywhere cosy and comfy. So much so, it gets a little tricky trying to stir dear Maxi from her slumber, just like a snooze button, another 10 minutes please her adorable little face is telling you and her funny little act to prolong the inevitable rising and shining. In saying that, Maxi does like a walk, and walks well on lead, but if the weather is a little cold or wet, this Princess is happy being inside sleeping the time away. She would love to live with a family with children 8 years plus and would be quite happy as an only dog. That doesn't mean to say she would not like to share your attention with another canine friend, but a medium/large Male one is her preference as she gets along with males alot better than other females. Maxi is toilet trained, so no issues her being inside most of the time, which is her preference anyway. Maxi would love to live with a chilled out kinder family who would love to include her in their daily activities but also be appreciate the fact that Maxi does need her beauty sleep, and this could extend long periods of the day :). Maxi has so much love to give and just cant wait to give this to her new family. Just a beautiful Princess.

Mia

Greyhound

Cuddle Bear

MAMMA MIA - How could anyone resist you! Happy as an only dog but would like medium/large friends too Not cat friendly Primary aged kids plus Full time/ Part time workers Mia is a smallish girl, around 28 kilo, black as black, with slight greying around her muzzle. Her beautiful good looks have not been affected by her seniority. Mia is 10 years young and she still has the energy of a hound half her age. An affectionate soul, Mia loves being a cuddle bear, and enjoys being patted and stroked. She will give you little sweet pecks of adoration on your hand with thanks. She is just a loving sweet girl. Mia has discovered toys and quite likes playing with them, so she will appreciate a few to keep her occupied, giving her stimulation and fun. Mia is toilet trained and her world is small, in that she likes to be inside most of the time, and would be ideal in an apartment situation, with various little outings of nice little walks in the local parks and the occasional stop at the local café for a "dogachino". She hasn't had a lot of exposure to kids but with her gentle, loving nature, would live quite happily with children 8 years up. Of course proper introductions is recommended as with any new pet coming into a family. Not overly keen on smaller canines, but gets along with medium/large friends, especially other hounds! But sorry no kitties, this would not make a happy combination. A family that is chilled out, that likes to go out and include their furfamily member would be a ideal home for Mia. She will make you fall in love with her as she will fall for you as well. So deserving to have a happy and loved life.

Cozy

Greyhound

Loves to Retrieve

COZY Not cat friendly Ideal in a household with teenagers and older family members Fulltime/Part workers Suit only dog home or with medium to large dogs or a dominant small dog. Cozy is a small blue male greyhound, with a small white patch between his front legs and bright golden eyes, he is of lean build and a very handsome boy. Cozy is an ‘Anzac’ day boy being born on the 25th April. He will be turning 5 this year. Cozy is a very affectionate and cuddly boy, just loves people AND his squeaky toys, and I don’t know which comes first 😉 as he just looooves his squeaky toys! Once he has one, he will not give it up and is quite protective, so maybe a FEW squeaky toys is a must. A game Cozy loves is, you can throw one, he will drop the one in his mouth, retrieve the other, then you pick up the first one and throw again, he drops the second one he has in his mouth and retrieves that one, and so it goes until one of you is tired of it! And that won’t be Cozy! He is so playful and will make you laugh with his enthusiasm. He is so clever that he knows his name! COZY!!!!!!!! Saying this, this is the main reason that living in a family of older children is what would suit Cozy, as he is protective of his precious squeaky toys. He enjoys the company of other medium/large canines and also would do fine with a dominant small dog. But Cozy doesn’t find cats fun, so no kitties in Cozy’s home. He loves walks and walks well on a lead and would benefit from daily adventures to sniff and explore his world. He enjoys the car so no problems going for a ride. He is a very happy little soul and will be such an amazing companion, giving his new family so much love and loyalty. The family who adopts Cozy will be a very lucky one indeed.

Swanny

Greyhound

Athletic Lad

Swanny Swanny, as in Dane? As athletic as the ex footy player was but a hell of a lot cuter :) Not cat friendly Primary/Teenage siblings. Part time/ Retiree most suitable. Swanny had his third birthday earlier this month, he is a medium stocky stunning white hound with tan markings. He is very fit and agile. He is an easy going young lad who loves to follow you around to see what you are doing but is very happy to chill and laze on his bed as well. Loooves squeaky toys, mouthing and chewing them, tossing them around just to make sure they know who's boss. He prounces around with them in his mouth and then lays down with them for company. Being a young fella, he still has a little to learn of the wide world and will learn quickly from his new environment and family. He loves company and would love to be included in family activities such as walks, which he enjoys and is great on lead, as well as other adventures to keep him busy and happy. A family with primary school children and older would be suit Swanny as he does get quite busy and active, especially when he is playing with his toys and could maybe knock over a toddler inadvertently when he is focused on playing. He gets on with other medium to large canines but hasn't been exposed to small dogs so careful introductions to these dogs is important. He isn't a lover of cats though, so no kitties at his new residence. As he is young and loves nothing better to play, he would love a home with another medium to large friend where he has company and can practice "zoomies" together. Part time workers or even retirees would be ideal for Swanny as he is a "people hound" A family willing to include Swanny in their activities would make Swanny's Day. He is just a sweet young lad, so willing to please and will make you fall for him in an instant.
