About Gidget (Puppy) On Trial
My name is Gidget and I am a little girl with big ideas. My big idea, just like my namesake is to go surfing. Um….counter surfing that is! But being a puppy who was surrendered because I had broken my leg means I’m going to need some help to get to that counter surfing height!
At 8 weeks old I broke my leg while in my pen with my brothers and sisters. The nature of my injury meant I would be no good as a racer, so my owner surrendered me after the break had healed at 14 weeks. Because I had to be kept by myself for 6 weeks and not run around I need some help to recover. I need hydrotherapy to help develop muscle in my back legs, high quality food to help my bones grow strong, in home physio, and vet visits to see how I’m progressing.
I am currently in foster care with two greyhounds, a cattle dog, and a staffy so I am being very well socialized and learning how to be a pet. I am a nosy, cheeky little kleptomaniac who wants to explore everything life has to offer and I’m not going to be held back by a little thing like a wonky leg. No sireeeee!
I need a home with a family who can commit to continue my treatments and check ups, and I will also need someone who is immune to my cuteness and be firm with me. I am just a baby so I need to learn some rules (so I am told anyway!) so I will need to go to dog manners classes, and continue my socialization to grow into a well rounded dog. I am expected to make a full recovery and my injury doesn’t make any difference to my joy in life!
Greyhound Rescue will cover the costs of my treatment, and my desexing when I am big enough. Because of this I will need a home in the Sydney area as my dogtor and hydrotherapist is in Western Sydney.

Adoption details
Once we have found your new greyhound we will send you an application form to complete and return. Then we will arrange a house check. It is important that the right hound goes to the right home! We can arrange for you to meet the dog/s and they can meet your family and/or other pets. Our hounds go “on trial” with your family for a minimum of 2 weeks. We have dogs that are small dog and cat friendly.
We expect greyhounds to be 'indoor dogs' and not left alone for long periods of time. Ideally they would have a doggy or human friend for company most of the time.
This pet has been adopted and found love with its new family.
