About Higgins
Hey there hoomans! Guess who's looking for their furever home? It's me, Higgins, but you can call me Higs, Higgy, Higgy Piggy, or even Sweet Cheeks! I'm a fabulous 4-year-old girl with a sweet, snuggly, and goofy personality.
I'm a bundle of delightful traits like being friendly, playful, gentle and a whole lot more. I can be a bit shy and anxious at first, but I bet you'll fall in love with my cuddly, curious, and affectionate nature once you get to know me.
I've played with other doggo friends and found out that I super enjoy hanging out with most big dogs (oh, how I love wrestling and playing with my toys!)
When I'm left alone, I'm a complete chill-pill. My favourite spots are your bed or the couch (and sometimes my own bed), but I promise to be a good girl and just snooze the time away. If I have another doggy friend for company while you're not home, I'd be happy to play outside!
My quirky ways never fail to bring a smile to my foster family's face. I have this hilarious move - rubbing against the bed for pats and sometimes shaking the entire bed! And, wanna know my favourite game? A dramatic pouncing session with my toys
It may take a little while, but once I warm up to you, I'll be your snuggle buddy and treat you to the most fantastic full body pats. I'll melt your heart when I teach other dogs how to play and gently nudge them into the game!
My foster family would always remember the trust, love, and laughter I brought into their lives, and I'd love to do the same for you! Just be patient, and I promise to be the most incredible addition to your family.
Summary:
- NOT small dog or cat friendly
- Ideal home is one with another medium to large canine for companionship
- Not suitable for homes with children under 12 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.
