About Jerry
Jerry is a lovely four year old boy, with a happy and adventurous outlook on life. He is enjoying his new life retired from the racetrack and learning what it’s like to be a much loved pet and living in a home. He is happy to lounge around in the company of the humans in his house but equally he loves having a walk and exploring all the sights and sounds (and smells!) of his neighbourhood. Jerry loves helping around the house and recently helped his foster dad build a fence. He is good at carrying mallets! He has also discovered the joys of the drive in movies. Jerry lists this as one of his favourite things to do over the summer. He just loves being around people and loves the pats from the kids at the drive in.
Jerry loves his toys and likes to organise them. Each toy has a specific place. He is quite gentle with them. He doesn’t always like sharing his toys with other dogs though, so would be better suited to a household where he will either be the only dog. No cats please.
He walks well on a lead, and loves a run around in the secure backyard.
Jerry is definitely better suited to a home as an only dog. He does need to be in a home where someone is home more often than not.
Jerry is housetrained, de-sexed, wormed, heart worm tested and vaccinated.

Adoption details
Step 1 - Email us at adoptions@greytgreys.org 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. All applications must be accompanied by an application form.
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 through 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.
Our hounds are adopted with:
- collar
- lead
- muzzle
- coat

- information on caring for your greyhound
