About Eddie
Hi I’m Eddie, I’m a goofy and gentle greyhound in search of my forever person or family.
I can be a forever foster because the kind people at Greyt Greys said they will look after me as long as I have an understanding home to live in.
I am a bit of a special boy, I can be scared of things and can take a while to open up and trust people. In the past, I was probably treated very badly so I am learning to trust humans again. Because of this, I need a home with someone who is grey-savvy and speaks my language! I need someone who won't overwhelm me but is happy to take things slow and steady, just how I like it!
I am probably more comfortable with women although I can get to know men if they are sweet and gentle – just like me! However, once I trust someone, I am incredibly affectionate and I give lots of kisses. I am also a champion snoozer!
I’m still learning a lot about the good life, and can sometimes get a little nervous, so am looking for a person or family that will continue to love and support me on this journey.
I’m great with other greyhounds and dogs of other sizes depending on their personality, but not cat friendly. I’d love a yard, so I can have my own space to chill and relax. I am also totally cool with being an outdoor dog with a kennel and/or a deck or patio, as I can be a bit weary of humans and their shenanigans inside the house!
Now that I know my foster family’s routine – I have appointed myself Chief Welcoming Officer. Whenever one of the family get home, I make sure to make them feel welcome by running up to the door. My foster family have also said that I’m a champion roacher, with a funny smile – sometimes my tongue will peek through to say hello to you.
If you think you could be my forever person or family – get in touch with Greyt Greys today!
Summary:
- NOT small dog or cat friendly
- Ideal home is someone that has lots of experience with greyhounds
- Ideal home is someone that is patient and understanding of my needs
- Ideal home is one where people are home more often than not (WFH or part time workers)
- NOT suitable for homes with children as they can be a bit too overwhelming for me
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 $375.00 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.
