About Dusty
Woof! Could I be the prince of your dreams?
My name is Dusty! I have polished up to be an amazing gem while in foster care! I am a gorgeous 3 year old brindle boy looking for my forever fairy-tale home.
I am a self-confessed stage 5 clinger – I LOVE my foster hoomans! Whenever they are relaxing on the couch I love to go and sit with them and get my cuddle time in! I'm a wannabe lap dog and I'll try to squeeze myself in for cuddles. I live by the mantra: if I fits, I sits.
I am super affectionate and will show you my big brown eyes when I want attention – I dare you to resist! I love my toys and playing fetch, though I most enjoy snoozing in the sun. I am the bestest boy and am very food motivated and easy to train – I am eager to learn! I'm looking for someone to commit to my ongoing training.
Due to something called a “pandemic” my foster hoomans have not been able to socialise me as much with other dogs as they would like – so slow introductions are a must, and I also need to be the only prince in my new castle.
I am so excited for my new life, will you be the one I start it with?
SUMMARY:
- WFH or part time (prior to COVID)
- Solo dog home
- no cats
- outdoor space
- willing to commit to ongoing care
Medical notes
Before I was rescued, I broke my hock, and unfortunately it was allowed to heal improperly. The fantastic hoomans at Greyt Greys made sure I got the surgery I needed though, and I am (almost) as good as new! I am still healing and as such can limp after laying down for long periods and tire quickly on walks. I will need someone who can monitor my leg and take me for further checkups if needed.
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 $350.00 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.
