About Bertie
Meet Bertie (or Bertie Beetle for long) 🩶🐾
Bertie is a beautiful, gentle and affectionate girl looking for her forever home!
Bertie is described as the perfect mix of relaxed and playful. She loves a 15–20 minute walk, sniffing all the things and saying hello to other dogs, then happily spends the rest of the day snoozing, entertaining herself and soaking up cuddles. She absolutely loves the couch and will happily spend her evenings curled up beside you. 🛋️💕
Bertie is a clever girl who quickly learns routines and is very attuned to her humans. She can be a little velcro at first, so she’d love a home where someone is around most of the day. Once settled, she becomes much more relaxed.
She loves other dogs and could potentially live with another dog, particularly a medium-sized, easygoing companion. She’d also suit a home with older children aged 6+.
Bertie’s ideal home is patient, loving and with humans who are happy to share the couch. A backyard would be a bonus, but isn’t essential. Walkies, snacks, cuddles, naps and her favourite humans — that’s Bertie’s idea of heaven. 🩶

Adoption details
STEP 1 – ENQUIRE & EOI FORM:
greytgreys.org/adopt/apply
If the greyhound you have applied for is unavailable or unsuitable, we can match you with a suitable greyhound. We may have a hound in foster care who might be well suited to your family.
STEP 2 – LET'S CHAT:
We'll phone you to discuss suitability, clarify any points of your application and chat process and next steps.
STEP 3 – HOUSE CHECK & MEET + GREET:
We'll come to you! The meet + greet is conducted at the same time that a house check is carried out. The meet + greet is the day that your newly adopted greyhound will be able to stay on with you.
Our adoption fee is $375.00 and must be paid before the meet + greet, and prior to starting your 3 week trial. Support from our team is freely available. If you have any issues, we urge you to contact us to try and work through them, as all rescue greyhounds have some period of adjustment.
If after the 3 week trial, you feel that you need to return the greyhound, we will refund your adoption fee (less a $50 administration fee), upon return of the dog and all paperwork and other items that the dog was adopted with.
All of our hounds are adopted out with the following:
> Collar, lead & coat
> Certificate of sterilisation & vaccination
> Flea & worm treated
> Care information for your newly adopted greyhound
> Access to our private Facebook page for foster carers, volunteers and adopters of our hounds. A community with invaluable advice and support!
