Astro

This beautiful and dignified boy is ASTRO, a six year old greyhound looking for a safe, loving and permanent home.

Retired from racing some time ago, Astro is now ready to be the best companion dog he can be - and we know he’ll be close to perfect.

True to his breed, Astro loves everyone and is very friendly. He requires little grooming and hardly sheds at all. He is a very clean dog and is house-trained. He doesn't bark, though occasionally he may "sing".

He is super affectionate, good-natured and calm. He just loves hanging out with his human family. His favourite spot in the evening is the couch, where he just chills with the family.

Like most greyhounds, Astro's a bit of a lounge lizard and will happily snooze the day away. He doesn't need a lot of exercise, but when he’s in the mood, he loves to run. As soon as he turns his activity switch on, you'll see a different Astro, one that greatly enjoys doing "zoomies" and generally romping around in the backyard. Hands down, he's the speediest dog around.

Because he's big, fast and strong, he's not a suitable companion for children. He is dog-friendly but inclined to dominate, so is probably best as an only dog. He is not keen on cats, pocket pets or birds.

Secure fencing (at least 1.5 metres high) is essential. Prior greyhound experience will be viewed favourably.
