About Dusty ~ Greyhound (On Trial 4/1/15)
Introducing Dusty! A beautiful 5 year old, medium sized greyhound. Her unique colouring is called blue brindle, and she has retired from the Greyhound racing and is on the lookout for a loving family to spend the rest of her days with.
Dusty is very affectionate and adores being around people. She loves going for walks (which is easy to do) and having a zoom around the backyard. Like all greyhounds, she thinks the best thing humans ever invented is the couch. Greyhounds do not need lots of exercise, so a moderate amount will suffice, and if you don't know already you will learn quickly why they are called the 70km/h couch potatoes.
Dusty currently lives with 2 whippets and an older greyhound, and she is very dog social. She has never been introduced to cats though. She is always eager to go for a swim when it gets hot, and she is good around young and older children. Dusty is a very relaxed greyhound, who likes to lounge around and look cute.
Dusty’s owner/trainer is also her foster carer, which is a first for us here at Dog Rescue Newcastle. He is leaving the racing industry and really wants to see for himself that she goes to a great home. He wants to know that she will be able to enjoy the rest of her life as a pet.
For more information or to meet Dusty, please contact Paul on 0411 166 683 or email mistyem@tpg.com.au. Dusty is in foster care in Beresfield, NSW (15 minutes from Maitland) and is available for adoption interstate.
Dusty's adoption fee is $350 and she is desexed, vaccinated, treated for fleas and worms, microchipped, and lifetime registered. You can see all our available dogs at www.dogrescuenewcastle.com.au

Adoption details
(1) The first step is to phone or email the foster carer listed on the pet's profile (scroll to the bottom on the description). They can answer your questions and will ask you about the sort of home you are offering and may ask you to fill in our Adoption Questionnaire http://www.dogrescuenewcastle.com.au/adopt/adoptionquestionnaire.docx
(2) If the questionnaire is approved you can arrange to meet the pet, usually at the foster carer's home or nearby.
(3) If that goes well we will arrange a property check so we can verify that your home and yard are suitable for the pet you've selected. We will ask to see photo ID.
(4) If both sides agree, then you can pay for and adopt your new family member! The two week trial begins on the day of adoption.
