Tommy

Tommy may be an adult greyhound in form, but don’t let that fool you, he’s no couch potato! This gorgeous guy is a ready-made adventure buddy, who loves his 45 minute walks, enjoys a paddle on warm days, and lives for play time - he has the bouncy exuberance of a puppy and can be mouthy and boisterous in his roughhousing, so an equally matched energetic canine playmate is a must for this sweet bouncy bean. Because of his high-octane antics, we wouldn’t recommend that Tommy have close contact with small dogs.

At 37kgs and with zero self control when the zoomies hit, Tommy would be best in a home with a yard and no small children or frail adults that he may accidentally knock over. Although he’s still learning his own size, he is deep down a big lover, and a very gentle soul at home; he has no problems sharing treats, toys, and resting spaces, and when his greyhound foster sister helps herself to his breakfast he will simply stand patiently behind her waiting for her to finish.

Tommy has been showing off in foster care, in just a few short weeks this smarty pants has mastered stairs and getting into the car along with cues “bed”, “wait”, “touch”, “inside”, and “outside” - his recall is even pretty good! He walks very well on lead, but can become excited if he sees too many other dogs that he could be playing with (he is non-reactive, but he will freeze and fixate or sometimes pull), we will support his new adopters with advice on how to keep working on those neutral skills when out and about so that Mr Social learns he doesn’t need to greet every other canine in the world.

A confident lad who is unbothered by loud noises or new environments, Tommy would make a wonderful addition to a home who are looking for a greyhound who can play just as hard as they can rest.
