About Archie
Hello, my name is Archie. I am a 5 year old boy, looking for my furever home.
I just love all people, and I will be the absolutely best pal you have ever had. I’ll be right by your side. I am a curious boy, and I always like to be involved in the everyday goings on at home. When I am not doing my investigation work, you will never find me too far away. I’ll be sleeping or roaching on my bed, or cuddled up to you on the couch. I give world class cuddles and smooches. You can repay me in snacks. I do love me some snacks!
Don’t be mistaken though, I also love pottering around on sniffari in the back yard, as well as going on one or two walks a day. I seem to get along well with other doggos, and walk really well on lead. Small animals can get my attention, but if you ask me to get back to the task at hand (walking)... I’m on to it! In fact, my foster folks say that I have been a real champ, fitting in with the household routines, and being so eager to be the bestest boy.
I love going on drives in the car. I put my snoot out the window and take in all the amazing smells. It’s the best. Oh, and did I mention that I am crazy for soft toys? Well... soft squeaky toys are my jam! I will play with them, toss them in the air and put on quite the funny show for you. My silly side also comes out with my “zoomies” and also when I flop on my bed, or even flop on my humans, looking for some rubs and smooches. Sometimes I can be a little boisterous when playing, but we can work on that. Right?
If you decide that I am the boy for you, I would love you to keep working with me on controlling some of my enthusiasm when I am indoors. I reckon I would also do best with another dog at home, to show me the ropes, and keep me company.
I promise to adore you, and give you all of my sweet and goofy attention and love. Do you think you might have room in your life for me? I sure hope so!

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.
