About Quinn
Please only apply for this greyhound if you have:
* A home where people are home more often than not
OR
* A doggie companion
* Children over the age of 10
* A grassed backyard for zoomies
Meet Quinn, an affectionate gent who hasn’t yet discovered the couch although he loves a cuddle by burying his face in your arm pit as you sit beside him. He loves a pat and a muzzle rub against your hip.
His favourite past time is car rides, as long as you help him with his front paws up, he will let you lift his back side in. Once in the car he travels well and enjoys sticking his nose out the window to soak in the sights and smells.
This handsome boy is currently living with a female greyhound and they get along well. He has manners around meal times and does not resource guard with toys or food. He understands the difference between right and wrong and will correct himself after instruction. He is polite when greeting friends and family and gentle with children.
Quinn is still learning about the big wide world. He walks well on lead, stands tall and enjoys prancing up the street, gaining much attention from passers by. He is however still learning about other dog breeds and that they are just like him so will benefit from further doggie socialisation.
Quinn is toilet trained and in fact his funniest moments come at home where after his toilet time he will show off with a happy dance. He would love a backyard for zoomies and play time with his toys, the squeakier the better.
Ultimately, Quinn is a gentle teddy bear who would fit into a home where he can be in the thick of family activities, but is equally happy to just chill out.
[Note: Under Victorian Law greyhounds must be on-leash at all times in public areas, including in off-leash parks or ovals]
