About Gazza
I’m Gazza and I’m just about the most peopley pooch around. I love people even more than I love going in the car, and that’s a lot. If I see an open car door, I’m in! Count me in for walks too; I love them.
I will happily sleep on the floor next to you all day if you’re working from home or next to you if you’re watching TV; you might even find my head in your lap if you sit down near me. I love being patted and will lean against you to remind you to do it and belly rubs are my most favourite thing.
I’m really good at letting you know what I want and will give you a little woof if I need to go out to do my business. I’m a fun guy, a real extrovert and I’m not scared of anything, not even the vacuum cleaner. I’m pretty clever too; games and puzzles are right up my alley and I learn quickly. I’m crazy about my toys and am learning to share.
As much as I love people, I’m fine being by myself for a little while or with another pooch if we live together. I’m also okay with other dogs and children that I’ve met on my walks but I’m still young so I’m not quite sure how big I am (only about 30 kg). Did I mention that I’m very handsome? Oh yes, I’m a beautiful black boy with white chest, toes and tail tip, plus I’m smart, fun, entertaining and active – what a package !
No cat or small dog applications please.
No children under six.
No full time workers unless working from home or there is another dog
We only consider applications who compete our online application.
When this is done we can make contact to discuss adopting a greyhound and potential suitable greys currently in foster care.
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.
