About Marty
Please only apply for this greyhound if you have:
- Lots of luv to give this adorable boy!
- Kids over 8 years
Meet Marty, yes, the Dapper Goofball with a Heart of Gold 🐾
Looking for a tall, dark, and handsome gentleman who’ll make you laugh every single day? Marty is your guy. He’s a loving, affectionate greyhound who adores hugs, kisses, and being told he’s handsome (which he absolutely is).
This quiet, gentle soul loves his walks and can get a little excited, though he’ll sometimes give a suspicious side-eye to menacing bushes or rogue bins. Loud cars are still a bit of a mystery to him, but he’s learning fast. Busy roads and noisy places can make him a little nervous, yet he settles down once he knows he’s safe with you.
He’s great with bigger dogs and plays it cool around them, though he’s a little uncertain of the smaller, yappier kind. Around dinner time, expect a burst of joy - his signature daily zoomies are an event worth watching!
While he’s not much of a toy enthusiast, he enjoys carrying them from room to room, clearly conducting very important “toy inspections.”
At home, Marty is the picture of peace, calm, cuddly, and quietly goofy. Just one small rule: no socks allowed (they’re apparently a delicious five-star snacks).
If you’re after a gentle, affectionate companion with a quirky streak and a dapper charm, Marty is ready to steal your heart and maybe your laundry!
[Note: Under Victorian Law greyhounds must be on-leash at all times in public areas, including in off-leash parks or ovals]
