About Joe
Joe is a typical greyhound who loves kicking back and enjoying life! Joe loves playing with his footy and with COVID19 restrictions has learned to appreciate the art of tossing it around by himself or playing with his foster parents. He has settled in without issue and his experienced foster carers have let us know he's the easier foster they've ever had! A perfect dog if you are taking your first foray into dog ownership.
Joe enjoys a short stroll around the block in the morning and whilst he can be pretty excited to get going he settles easily and is learning excellent lead etiquette. He's toilet trained and has been happy when left by himself when his foster parents have to head out to earn the kibble.
Joe happily sleeps on his bed downstairs while his foster folks retire to bed. During the day you will find him chasing the sun for prime snooze positions. Joe is unique in that he is missing the tip of his nose, it doesn't slow him down though, he loves sniffaris and enjoying enrichment games. He also has amazing, expressive ears which he's happy to put on display when there is roast chicken treats around.
His perfect home would be as an only dog or with another greyhound. He would prefer a home without small dogs or cats.
Joe is an affectionate, easy going and delightful greyhound. He embodies the best of the greyhound breed and would be an amazing addition to any home.
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.
