About Shark
I get my name from my adorable overbite - think of the movie Jaws where all you see are teeth but in my case, I'm way more adorable, my teeth aren't sharp, and the only thing I'll kill you with is kindness and love.
I'm all about love, cuddles and leans. I will show you so much enthusiasm when you come home but quickly calm down when I know there is a leg to lean on for some pats. I walk so beautifully on the lead because all I want to do is please you and receive more pats and love.
Greyhounds are commonly referred to as chilled and quiet dogs and I live up to the hype. I think people may have only heard me bark once or twice in my entire life.
I'm very average sized for a boy at 32kg but that is the only average thing about me. I've got an incredibly shiny and soft black coat, I'm extremely outgoing and friendly, and bring huge smiles to everyone that meets me. I love kids but am vocal about what I do and don't like so kids over 10ish that understand my dog signals would be best. I also love dogs of every shape and size, and would love to have a friend to live with or a human that will spend a lot of time with me. However, I'm OK on my own as long as you can spend some time settling me into my new home with you. Not cats please!
I'm excited to meet you and make sure I'm your next new year's resolution.
Get in contact with my people at Greyhound Connections www.greyhoundconnections.com.au and lets fall/lean in love today!
Love, Shark x
Adoption details
STEP 1 - The Conversation
Fill out the adoption enquiry form on our website and tell us about the type of greyhound you think will suit you and your family, or if you've already found a greyhound that has caught your eye. We aim to get the match right for both your sake and that of the greyhound, so please include as much detail as possible in your enquiry. Just like people, every greyhound is unique. Following receipt of your enquiry form, a volunteer from Greyhound Connections will contact you to chat about the greyhounds we have for adoption that may be suitable, or the greyhound that has caught your eye.
STEP 2 - The Meet 'n' Greet
Once we have found a greyhound that might be a good match we will contact you to arrange an obligation-free meet 'n' greet. This might be at your house or at a place where the greyhound is currently living, or in a public place such as a park or cafe. You will get a chance to meet the dog in person and ask any further questions you may have. If you are feeling confident about the greyhound, we will talk about arranging a trial.
STEP 3 - The Trial
To ensure the fit is right for both your family and the greyhound, we recommend a three week trial. This will help you to see if you and the greyhound settle in together, and become accustomed to each other's behaviours. We will provide you with our Adoption Handbook that provides you with lots of vital greyhound-related information and all of your greyhound's personal details. You will be encouraged to contact us and the breeder, trainer or owner if you have any questions or concerns through the trial period. We will be here to support you and the greyhound all the way, and love to hear how the greyhound is settling in.
STEP 4 - The Adoption
Following a successful trial, we will work with you to finalise the adoption of your new family member. This includes signing our adoption form, registering the greyhound under your name with your local animal services authority and providing proof of this, and your payment of the adoption fee.
