About Gucci
Please only apply for this greyhound if you have:
- A home where people are home more often than not OR a doggie companion
Gucci is the sweetest, cuddliest greyhound you could ever meet! Her favourite thing is hanging out with her humans, and having a cuddle whenever she gets a chance.
Gucci is energetic, but is perfectly happy with a 20-25 minute walk everyday. She loves her blankets and loves to play with a toy when she gets excited. She's extremely friendly and curious, and gets very excited when she gets to go out on walks. She can be spirited on the lead, so just needs a bit of gentle guidance to have even better manners.
She travels well in the car, and can get up and down unassisted.
Gucci thrives on attention, so would suit a household where someone works from home often, or with another doggie companion. While Gucci hasn't spent time around small dogs, she is currently enjoying living with a male greyhound foster brother & a cat. She's very well behaved with the cat.
Gucci will shower you with love and make the best companion for her new loving family
[Note: Under Victorian Law greyhounds must be on-leash at all times in public areas, including in off-leash parks or ovals]
