About Franklin
My name is Franklin "Velvetsnoot" and I'm looking for love! I'm a real smooch, a 10/10 sweetheart and self-professed love expert. I'll press my head into your chest, dump it into your lap, sidle up to you and boop your hand. I've got all the moves. If you give me a scritch, we'll be fast friends. I really like cuddles and snoot-kisses!
Even though I'm 8 years old, I've still got some spring in my step and love to do a few zoomies around the yard! I am the king of roaching, and will make you laugh with my silly antics.
I'm looking for forever folks who are home a lot! I've previously lived in a home and like to have my humans close by at all times. If you work from home or are retired, it's a matchmade in heaven!
Whilst sociable, due to my reduced vision, I will need to be the only household hound. This doesn't bother me one bit, I'd love to soak up all your love and return it three-fold!
I get twice daily drops in my eyes – I have Pannus (see medical notes below). I do have some reduced vision, which is particularly noticable at night. I wish I had night-vision goggles, instead I wear these doggles to protect my peppers when I'm outside! I'm on drops twice daily and I take these like a trooper!
If you are looking for an absolute cuddle-bug, and want to toot my Velvetsnoot, hit "Enquire now" and I'll have my people contact you!
Summary:
> Retired or work from home
> Not small dog or cat friendly
> Only household hound
Medical notes
Pannus is disease where the dog’s own immune system attacks the surface of cornea causing inflammation and scarring. Franklin is on 2 types of drops twice daily. He does have some reduced vision.
Adoption details
STEP 1 – ENQUIRE & EOI FORM:
Click 'Enquire about this pet' to contact us or email us at adoptions@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 $320.00 and must be paid on on the day of the meet + greet, and prior to starting your 3 week trial. 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 3 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
> 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.
