About Missy
I know what you need. You need a hug, right?
I’m Missy and I’m a champion hugger. I’m so good at it, I can hug you while we’re walking. It’s true – you walk and I’ll put my head between your legs, and I won’t trip you up. Too easy.
I like to be close to you. Not always that close, but I like to know you’re near. If you can’t be, I need to have a furriend I can hang and play with while you’re away. Another doggo my size would be great. I’ve never met the smaller ones, or cats, so best not to tempt fate. It’s kinda the same with humans. I prefer the company of the older ones because I can get jumpy when we’re about to go for a walk.
I like walking. Do you? If you’re not totally up for a walk, we could play in your back yard. I like me a good-sized back yard where I can run till I drop in a warm and sunny spot.
I’d be happy if you’d throw a ball for me. I’ll bring it right back – promise. Then you can throw it again and again and again. I can’t say the same for the stuffed toys, though. I might collect them till they are piled high in my bed. If you tell me ‘No’ then I’ll give them back. I do like collecting them though.
Speaking of my bed. When I’m in it, would you mind covering me with a blanket. I love the cosy feeling that gives me. Or maybe I could come for a cuddle in your bed.
If you’re ready to get all the loves – and give some – then let’s meet!

Adoption details
STEP 1 – ENQUIRE & EOI FORM:
https://greytgreys.org/adoption-form/
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.
