Skyla (aka Miss Piggy) (On Trial 30/6/13)

Hi, my real name is Skyla but my foster parents have nicknamed me Miss Piggy because I am fantastic and a star and everyone needs to know it. If you forget I will come up and nudge for a pat and if you stop I will nudge again. I am a 3.5 yrs old greyhound and I am retired from racing and am very much enjoying the good life, indoors, as a member of a family.

According to my foster parents I am elegant, gentle and sweet. I also have a very flirty side and will charm anyone who is nice to me. I love car rides and I walk nicely on a lead. I love to throw soft toys around, and I am getting good at catching treats in the air.

I would prefer to be indoors on the softest couch or bed available. I do accept being outside during the day but like to be indoors after dark as I feel the cold and miss my humans. I am housetrained of course. I actually prefer a ride in the car to a walk and then I am very happy to nap around the house and keep you company the rest of the time.

I am friendly with other dogs and even get along very happily with the family cat! I love adults and older kids, but don't enjoy the attentions of little children. I would be especially good with a older person (no bending down to give me attention).

I would like a home that is calm and will treat me like the princess that I am and give me all the love and attention that I deserve. If you believe you can provide a home fit for a princess please call my foster parents Misty and Paul on 02- 4955-7118 or 0434-373-422. I am in foster care in Newcastle, NSW and am available for adoption interstate.
