Adoption information
About Abbey
Please only apply for this greyhound if you have:
- Lots of love and care to give to Abby
- Children over 8 years
- No resident small dogs or cats (as Abby has not yet been assessed around small pets)
Abby is a beautiful soul and we are hoping to find that Special Person who can care for Abby!
Abby is a small, sweet, friendly and happy greyhound girl who has not yet had the chance of a pet life.
She turns 7 years in October and wouldn't it be perfect if she could spend her birthday with her new family!
Abby is very friendly and affectionate to everyone she meets and is always delighted to get attention.
She has limited vision due to scarring on her eyes from un-treated pannus. She is in good health and the Eye Specialist now has her on daily eye drops to try and improve her vision. R2R will continue to pay for her eye appointments until her condition stabilizes.
Abby copes well and gets around fine, so we are seeking to get her directly into a forever home (foster to adopt). She walks fine on the lead - with lots of sniffing to check out things.
Her ideal home would be:
- a compact yard with no major obstacles to get entangled in
- she would be fine with another greyhound, but would also cope solo
- someone with lots of love to give this sweet gal, who will enjoy a daily walk
Do you think you might be able to open your heart and home to Abby - please consider completing an adoption application.
[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.
