About Wilbur
I’m a happy hound with a lot of love to give. I’ll sniff your face in the morning to help you wake up, always excited to start the day and then nuzzle my frosty snoot into you as we chill out together. When I just can’t hold in my joy, I’ll do happy gallops down the hallway. My foster folk say I’m a goofball. I like to make them laugh!
Whilst I love hanging out, I also enjoy time on my own. I’m a solar-powered hound, and enjoy snoozing in the sunshine, it is one of my very favourite things to do!
My ideal home is one where the humans are home much of the time (part-time workers please), with a medium to large canine female companion. Short walks are good for me, as I have an old racing injury. I'd much rather spend my days, sun-baking and smooching.
If you've got a warm bed, or couch for me to snooze on, this loving long boy is I'm ready to move on into your heart and home!
Summary:
> No small dogs, or cats please
> Part-time workers
> Prefer quiet med - large canine companion
> Must reside in Victoria
> Must cater to ongoing needs
Medical notes
Desexed, vaccinated, microchipped (transfer inclusive of adoption fee) and up to date with flea and worm treatments.
As a result of an old racing injury, Wilbur has arthritis in his front left knee and will require ongoing Cartrophen injections on a monthly basis during colder months and bi-monthly in the warmer months. Despite a slight limp, this doesn't hinder Wilbur in his enjoyment of life, although he is best with short and gentle walks.
Wilbur will also require a soft diet.
Adoption details
STEP 1 – ENQUIRE & EOI FORM:
Click 'Enquire about this pet' to contact us or email us at admin@greytgreys.org to express interest in the hound that you are looking at. We'll send you an EOI form, this must be returned before proceeding.
If the greyhound you have applied for is unavailable or unsuitable, we can match you with a more suitable greyhound. We may have a hound in foster care who might be well suited to your family.
STEP 2 – LET'S CHAT:
We'll phone you to discuss suitability, clarify any points of your application and chat process and next steps.
STEP 3 – HOUSE CHECK & MEET + GREET:
We'll come to you! The meet + greet is conducted at the same time that a house check is carried out. The meet + greet is the day that your newly adopted greyhound will be able to stay on with you.
Our adoption fee is $200.00 and must be paid on on the day of the meet + greet, and prior to starting your 2 week trial.
We have a 2 week trial, where support from our team is freely available. If you have any issues, we urge you to contact us to try and work through them, as all rescue greyhounds have some period of adjustment.
If, after the 2 week trial, you feel that you need to return the greyhound, 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.
All of our hounds are adopted out with the following:
> Collar, lead & coat
> Certificate of sterilisation & vaccination
> A 2.5 kg bag of Lifewise dog food
> Flea & worm treated
> Care information for your newly adopted greyhound
> Access to our private Facebook page for foster carers, volunteers and adopters of our hounds. A community with invaluable advice and support.
