About Rory
❤️AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION IN ACT AND CANBERRA & SYDNEY- NSW❤️
RON: R251000253
ASSISTED REHOME
We are opening up adoption inquiries in Canberra and the ACT area for gorgeous Rory, whose owner has had some major health issues.
Rory is a gorgeous 6-year-old boy who, through no fault of his own, can no longer be cared for by his owners and needs to be urgently adopted.
He is an amiable big boy, weighing in at 34kgs, and loves nothing more than the attention of people - he ‘leans in’ on them to get pats and loves to snuggle up for a cuddle or two. He sleeps for most of the day and often has to be woken up to be taken on his walks for his bathroom breaks!
Rory is great walking on the lead and loves to go out for walks. He is non-reactive to other dogs and will wag his tail and be friendly to their approach. He is great with other greyhounds and often walks with a smaller, shy female greyhound to help her get used to being around other dogs.
Rory is fully house-trained, he is happy sleeping most of the day and never has a toilet accident inside.
Rory is currently living in an apartment and while he has adapted well, he has absolutely loved his little holidays with his owner’s friends who have a yard and other greyhounds to play with.
He would be best suited to a house with a yard so he has room to play and do zoomies, and a doggie friend for Rory would be a bonus.
Rory has some sleep startle which requires him to have his own bed and space to sleep but it has been difficult to give him this space in a small apartment.
Rory is groomed every month (he adores being pampered!) and is up to date with all his vaccinations. He has not had any health issues, and his teeth and gums are kept healthy with regular teeth cleaning by his vet!
Rory’s owners are facing some health challenges which means they cannot give him the care and attention he deserves, as well as seeing him love the space of a yard and doggie friends, which has led them to this heartbreaking decision.
The owner's health issues mean Rory needs to be urgently adopted.
Rory is in Canberra, ACT but we can open up adoptions for both ACT and NSW.
Please apply here if you would like to meet Rory and his owners.
Adoption details
All dogs will have a meet and greet before adoption, once adopted all dogs are on a two week trial to ensure it is a right fit for both sides.
