About Zac
Please only apply for this greyhound if you have:
- A desire for lots of walks or play with an energetic young greyhound
- A grassed backyard for Zac's zoomies
- Work from home part of the week
- Kids 10years and older
Zac is a sweet, very affectionate young boy with so much love to give. Let’s face it….he was
born on valentines day, so he is the best romancer. 😁
He would love you to be his forever home and his forever humans so he can give all the love he has to YOU! 💜
Zac is energetic and LOVES his zoomies and play time! He would like a backyard so he can go about his day getting all his zoomies out!
Zac needs a daily walk, and ideally, he would go well with 2 x 30min walks a day to get some of his energy out, or one of those being a good 15-30min play time throwing his toys around with his human. Once he has had his play time he is very happy to lounge around and relax.
He is a fabulous walker and can walk long distances if the adventure arose, he gets so excited for his walk he does 360 circles as you head out the front door! He has great walking manners, does not pull on lead and is dog friendly walking past big, medium and small dogs, giving them a big smile and continues on his way. Zac has been around a pug and also had no fuss.
Zac is very loving and affectionate to all people, he likes to lean on you when out. He sometimes thinks he is a lap dog and tries to sit half on you to cuddle. His love language is defiantly physical touch – the valentines day arrival certainly made its mark on this boy! So if you don’t want affection, this boy is NOT for you! 😁
Zac travels very well in the car and loves going on adventures. He can jump in the car unassisted, he would be a great partner and companion for someone who wants to take their dog on outings and adventures as he is always up for a good time! Yes, your perfect partner in crime! 😁
As much as Zac loves affection and his humans, he also is an independent boy. Zac likes to pick when he is patted, cuddled but you cannot pick, you must just go along! LOL You will know when he wants alone time.
Zac is good at home alone, so part time workers or full time workers who work part of the week away would be fine! He is very happy to see you when you get home and will immediately want play time, yet not stressed out that he has been on his own.
He is friendly around all children, but due to his size and energy he would be best with kids 10 years and above.
Zac is very intelligent, he was toilet trained instantly!
He will be such a loyal companion and is looking for his human or humans to complete his
