Adoption information
About Harry
Please only apply for this greyhound if you have:
- a Cat!
- children over 8 years
- a doggie companion for Harry
Harry is a gentle, very placid boy, who loves to get treats, but he is a true gentleman and know to wait for meals to be put down before he can start. He is then happy to eat everything in his bowl!
Harry has just turned 7 years and walks well on the lead and he also loves going out for adventures in the car. His is house trained and will play with toys if he’s encouraged.
Harry is fine with cats - as you can see by his picture with Lily the cat - but ideally would like another dog as a companion.
[Note: Under Victorian Law greyhounds must be on-leash at all times in public areas, including in off-leash parks or ovals]
Medical notes
No known pre-existing conditions.
