About Dan the Magnificent
When we asked Dan's foster mum, a long-time foster carer and dog trainer, about this lovely boy, her first comment was, "Dan is a magnificent looking greyhound and he's an all-round nice dog."
"He's a large boy and will definitely stand out in the crowd. Despite his size, he's a gentle soul and loves his cuddles. He thoroughly enjoys human company and is a bit of a smoocher.
"Active and dog-friendly, he walks well on a lead, but can be a bit strong if he sees a canine he wants to say hello to.
"Dan doesn't jump fences. He has no food aggression. He travels well in the car and he's house-trained."
Dan would make an ideal canine companion and, being a "Velcro dog" at heart, he'd be best suited to a home where someone is around most of the time. He's accustomed to living inside and outside. A typical greyhound, he's a bit of a lounge lizard and loves to snooze his way through the day, although he does loves a vigorous daily walk and a zoomie or two.
Dan is an ex-racer so is not suitable to homes with small dogs, pocket pets and cats. Also, despite his lovely temperament, he's probably too big, strong and fast to be a suitable playmate for under 12s.
As always, secure fencing is essential, although Dan is not a fence jumper.
He is desexed, vaccinated and microchipped.
If you are interested in meeting Dan, please complete the online application form at https://southerndownsark.com.au/apply-to-adopt/ and ensure that you include photos of your yard and fencing.
