About Sulley
Please only apply for this greyhound if you have:
- May suit full-time workers with or without another dog
- Children over 10 years
💖Sulley 💖 Are you my perfect?
Do you;
✅love a sleep in?
✅love to snuggle?
✅need to laugh more?
✅have older kids that are dog confident, as although I try to be extra good I can be a bit too bouncy for little kids and have no spacial awareness?
✅enjoy sharing a couch?
✅know that windy/rainy days are for snuggling inside not walking?
✅like handling wet spaghetti (I’ve been likened to this image with my greetings to those I’m excited to see) I am not suited to someone older who could possibly be unstable on their feet.
✅enjoy watching drifting (I’m great at it BTW)
✅ do like to pretend I’m a cat when you pat me (I’m better than real cats who are only here for the purpose of catching)
✅walk well in a halti and lead set, I can pull on the collar and I don’t like harnesses. I can kiss a walk as long as I get some toy playtime outside edge silly when it’s miserable outside.
I am not;
✅a fan of cats at all (they are only good for chasing and trying to eat)
✅a fan of playing with little dogs but happy to walk past without being a twerp (I prefer greyhounds)
✅a fan of thunder or wind banging things around, I get jumpy outside (I do mange if Mel hasn’t been home when it happens) but totally fine inside
I Will, Can or Do;
✅be a solo dog where my human goes to work💖 just leave me toys and a snuggly bed (can happily outside during the day with good shelter, comfy bed and toys while you work)
✅pretend to go around the corner and wee in the morning and run back inside without going (because let’s face it who wants to go out on a frosty morning at 6:30am, that’s sleep time🤣, just because the human wants to get up (who the heck has to go to work, I’m retired)!!
✅let you know when I need to go to the toilet as I am the perfect gentleman inside with toilet manners, never had a single accident in inside in 18mths.
✅bring laughter and lots of comments about how silly and expressionistic I am
✅be your best friend and snuggle buddy anywhere anytime
✅be okay as a solo dog (I will self settle if you ignore me) or with a CALM female greyhound
✅ go on my bed on command (with flair, always with flair🥰🤣, think Tigger)
✅wait on my bed for my name to be called for dinner
✅sit (if you give me somewhere soft under my butt to ask)
✅stay in my bed even if I am quivering with soo much excitement waiting for the okay to run up and smooch a new arrival to the house
✅lick ears for kisses where possible
✅provide delightful chin nibbles
✅remove your scarf when your are seated at home, because I’m helping you to put things away.
✅love toys, the deeper the toy bucket the more fun because the best things will always be at the bottom even if you swap them to the top🤣
✅play growl with toys (I do not resource guard)
✅you can see if I am confused by my expressions by something you are asking for, if you slow it down I can manage to work it out happily
✅I like to sun bake a little too much sometimes, just try and keep those times short and this has still been working for me.
I am;
✅expert roacher level AAA+
✅delightful
✅hilarious (just ask me)
✅a hard leaner for snuggles (like if you move I am going to fall over🤣)
✅ a favorite amongst my family and friends
✅desexed and up to date vaccinations
I Come With:
✅24/7 support from Mel
✅a bed
✅coats
✅halti/lead set and martingale collar
✅2 weeks of my meals to allow first week no changes, 2nd weeks worth to allow you to do a gradual change to how you feed
✅holidays at Mel’s if you are going away and I can’t come with you (I’d love to catch up with my buddies there)
✅a forever return policy (no one expects to have to let go of a pet, but sometimes things happen in life. If it happens your contract is that he comes back to Mel)
[Note: Under Victorian Law greyhounds must be on-leash at all times in public areas, including in off-leash parks or ovals]
Medical notes
have pannus - but thanks to the eye specialist my pannus is inactive and under control, I have one more specialist appointment which Mel will cover in November to make sure that the two different ways it’s being treated (between daylight savings and non daylight savings) to reduce the steroids needing to be taken is completely effective at keeping it inactive... I will not wear googles, don’t waste your money I’ll just scratch the crap out of them (eye specialist not concerned, just monitor UV and walk during lower UV times) after that I should only need a visit once a year for a checkup (scripts can be used to keep costs minimum) I am perfect to do eye drops with.
