About Dennis
Dennis is a handsome 3 year old greyhound who has fully embraced all that his new life as a well loved pet has to offer! As a young dog he can be quite exuberant, and gets very excited when meeting new people or greeting his family at the end of the day. He can sometimes love his people a little "too" much so a home without small children who he might knock over in his rush to provide affection would be best.
Dennis is doing well as an 'only child' and is more than happy to chill out during the day while his foster family are away at work. He's adapted to apartment life well and he's old hat with (carpeted) stairs, elevators, and even uses a balcony grass patch toilet (the clever clogs!).
When he's not chilling at home, Dennis loves going out on adventures, he travels well in the car and loves the beach. He's comfortable walking along busy streets and enjoys a brunch date at the local cafe as much as any other Melbournian. Although he's always down to meet new human friends anytime, he does prefer that other dogs give him a bit of space when he's on leash (he's not shy about giving a warning bark just to let them know he's not down for an up close hello) - when given the opportunity to zoom around a friend's backyard he happily plays nicely with other doggy friends, if a little boisterously, but should be carefully introduced at first due to his size.
Dennis is very food motivated and eager to learn, he very quickly picks up new boundaries and expectations, he has been taught not to enter the kitchen however he is still learning to resist the allure of a good counter surf from the other side! Because he is quite a tall boy and can reach most benches, it seems very lovely of people to leave tasty treats around for him to help himself to!
Like a lot of greyhounds, Dennis is working on a bit of resource guarding behaviour (especially with food that he may have "found") and he needs a home with people who are comfortable to continue training. He has come a long way since first entering foster care and responds very well to positive reinforcement based training. For this reason, we think someone who has experience with greyhounds or large dogs, and is willing to give him patience and love to help him overcome his insecurities, would be perfect.
If you think you fit the bill and can offer Dennis a loving forever home, please get in touch at adopt@amazinggreys.com.au or via this webpage.
