About Nicko
Nicko is a big, friendly 5-year-old sweetheart.
He has the most adoring eyes that will melt your heart. He loves getting pats from humans he meets on his walks. Nicko is more than happy to be left home alone. The couch is his favourite place and he will roach there most of the day. He is very affectionate and will curl up next to you with his head on your lap.
He loves going on walks and in the warmer weather and is happy with a 20min walk morning and evening (and a lunchtime pee if possible).
He actually prefers saying hello to small dogs (sausage dogs and chihuahuas) and is the happiest when he meets another greyhound (especially a female!). He sometimes gets a bit scared of larger dogs of other breeds and might growl to let them know.
Nicko would be most comfortable in a household with a space of his own where he can retreat for naps and have some me time. Nicko's teeth are in perfect condition because he likes to chomp on freeze-dried bones. His favourite treato is a licky mat with frozen yogurt. When it's warm he also loves to chomp on iceblocks and carrots!
Summary:
- NOT cat friendly
- Not suitable for homes with children under 16 years of age
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.
