About Nicky
Nicky is a 2 and a half year old bundle of snuggle! Never having been raced, she is full of life and is a little bundle of positive energy, just like her sister Teeny, who is also up for adoption.
Nicky thinks she is a lap dog and will happily sleep on your lap while watching TV! She has been known to sleep on her foster dads lap with her head on his shoulder. She likes nothing better than to lean in close for a snuggle! Given the chance, Nicky would sleep on your bed with you too! She is one of the most affectionate dogs her foster carers have ever met.
Nicky is almost there with house training, de-sexed, wormed and vaccinated. She walks well on a lead. She is a young 2 and a half and is discovering life in a house with her foster family is a lot of fun. She is learning the routine very quickly and adapting very well to home life.
Nicky is good around small dogs, but no cats please. Ideally, Nicky would be best suited to a household where there is another dog for company, or where someone is home a lot. Due to her playful nature, she is better suited to children who are not too young.

Adoption details
Step 1 - Email us at greytgreysrescue@gmail.com to express interest in the hound that you are looking at. If you would like more information about the dog, please call us on 0421 929-062. If we cannot take your call immediately, please leave a message and we will return your call as soon as we can.
Step 2 - We will email you back an application form and await return of the form by email
Step 3 - We will contact you regarding a meet and greet (pending the suitability of your application). There may be situations where the hound that you are applying for, is not suitable to your home situation, but we might have another hound available that better suits your situation. We do not advertise our foster dogs immediately, as we give them time to settle into home life first, so we can better assess their temperament. We may have a hound in foster care who might be well suited to your family, that has not been advertised yet.
Step 4 - The meet and greet will be organised so that any other pets in your family are also present. This would preferably be done in your home, as a home check can be done to ensure that adequate fencing, shelter, etc will be provided to the hound. The adoption fee of $270 needs to be paid before the hound is adopted.
Step 5 - You take your new family member home on a 2 week trial. If you have any issues, we urge you to contact us to try and work them, as all dogs will have some period of adjustment. If, after the 2 week trial, you feel that you need to return the dog, we will refund your adoption fee (less a $50 administration fee), upon return of the dog and all paperwork and other items that the dog was adopted with.

- collar
