About Aaron
Aaron will try anything once! He’s outgoing, vivacious and always up for adventure. If you are looking for a pup that will be a companion in every aspect of life, Aaron is the dog for you.
Aaron has settled into life as a pet unbelievably well. He thinks he’s living the total dream. His days are filled with car trips to exciting places, walks around his neighbourhood to sniff everything in sight and long, lazy sleeps at home, lifting his head occasionally for chin scratches. He loves meeting new friends – whether they are of the canine or human variety, Aaron doesn’t mind! His gregarious spirit craves company so he doesn’t love being left alone. He would do well with someone who is home often or can commit to helping him adjust.
He is a true ‘leaner’ – a common greyhound trait where upon receiving a pat, their entire body weight will collapse onto you in pleasure. He’ll also lean into people when he feels he is not receiving enough attention, just as a reminder that he is there and ready to be adored! Aaron’s cheeky personality is loads of fun to be around. He’s a true performer, doing zoomies backyard so fast you can get dizzy just watching him. After a zoomie session, he will flop onto the floor with his tongue lolling out the side of his mouth, giving him a hilarious, slightly crazed look.
Aaron is well-behaved and attentive for such a fun-loving pup. He would suit an active family who wants a dog who can be true part of the family.

Adoption details
Dogs are pack animals and Greyhounds, in particular, are very familiar with being surrounded by other dogs in their racing kennel environment. For this reason, when left alone without people or other dogs for company, they can be prone to separation anxiety which can manifest in destructive and/or noisy behaviour. Yes, they may "grow out" of it after a few weeks in their new home, but why put the dog through that stress to ultimately live all day alone, while everyone is at work? As a result we do not rehome dogs into households where they are left on their own for more than 4 hours per day, without either people or another dog for company.
During the COVID crisis, not all of our rescued Greyhounds will have the usual socialisation with other dogs so we may advise to use a muzzle in some situations until the dog is fully socialised.

Following your initial application, we conduct a home check. Our dogs are placed on a two week trial. The adoption fee is paid at time of placement and reimbursed if the trial is unsuccessful.
After the trial period is deemed successful, the adoption process is finalised.
