About Joshua (on trial)
Joshy, Osher or baby houndy as he is affectionately known is simply the best and his 3 legs makes him even more adorable
Be it dog, cat, horse, pig, cow or human, Joshy loves EVERYBODY.
Surrendered at 8 weeks old from his racing breeder as he had a nasty fracture, Josh has been simply raised as a pet and not at all like a race dog. If you have always wanted the temperament of lab but without the activity requirements than Josh is the man for you.
He is well socialized and absolutely loves getting out and about meeting new people and animals, almost offended if people don't stop to say hi. Josh loves the car and would happily chill out on the back seat all day, he climbs right in and instantly gets comfy. He enjoys the park for a run with his friends, feeding the horses or just following you around.
Joshy currently lives in a multipet house hold with cats and a wide variety of dogs from 4kg - 35kg. He loves a busy atmosphere, however he is your typical greyhound he is all speed and no stamina. He enjoys a zoom around and then an afternoon nap on the couch in front of the fire in his many hilarious sleeping positions.
We would prefer josh to go to a home with another dog as he absolutely loves the company of k9 friends.
Josh is an excellent snuggler and he doesn't mind being the big or little spoon, he is looking for a home with dog lovers not just dog owners. Being a little spoilt he is used to sleeping anywhere he likes be that couch or bed so is not very accustomed to the no furniture rule.
While Josh is very well socialized he would benefit from a home committed to continuing his training and socialization. Josh walks well on a harness or collar, sits & drops most of the time (or when he really wants the chicken) is crate trained and almost completely toilet trained however a patient home that is happy to remind him that going outside in the cold will not kill him.
While we believe Joshy is the greatest he does have a few naughty/ funny habits.
The toilet makes an excellent drinking bowl, all shoes are eatable, cat poo is delicious and selective hearing is a male thing.
We adore this kid and he will only be going to the most special home. If you are interested in meeting Baby hound please send a brief description of the home you can provide and we will send you an adoption application form.
He is located in Whittlesea for meet and greets
