UPDATE — Four Greyhounds Still Need Homes
Four greyhounds are still in need of finding homes, and I am once again begging the world for good people to recommend these dogs before heading to GAP or anywhere else to adopt this weekend. Four dogs moving along a little quicker than expected (no time limit on any of them, just hoping good people help good dogs).
As I posted yesterday — no dogs were euthanased. No animals were seized. That is not what happened, and I want to be very clear about that.
What did happen is that I was visited unannounced after two days of not cleaning my property. Day one was an entire day at the vet desexing seven animals. I stopped cleaning the afternoon before to prepare the property for being left without me here for about eight hours during my vet day, whilst my animals were being overseen by my neighbour. Day two was the full vet day itself. The morning they arrived I was already working on catching up. When you have a lot of animals, two days without maintenance doesn't take long to look messy. That's just reality.
The RSPCA and council came back the following day. By that point everything but one thing had already been completely amended — and that last thing was exactly what I was in the middle of working on when they arrived. No animals were seized or euthanased, and they will not be.
But as we all know (unless you are completely unaware of what is actually going on in the world), the council, the RSPCA, pounds, the Lost Dogs Home, the GRV, and big authorities like them are very quick to euthanase an absurd number of animals simply to keep numbers down. FACT. That is exactly why I started this mission six years ago — a mission we have recently finalised into an official charity with tax exemption status.
I have been in the process of permits for this property for over a year. Everything here is checked on constantly and has been greatly overseen throughout. I have always had funding for help with property maintenance and a lot of support available to me at request READ ON IN COMMENTS...

The WORST employee I have ever had..who I kept giving chance after chance to improve their efforts here... Has gone and had a MASSIVE bitch to the council and RSPCA saying I have 17 dogs on the property... Unfortunately the planning department and the registration department have NOT been speaking to eachother about my permits and decided to have a field day here and bombard my property... The day after my massive desexing day. They are pushing me to euthanize all the greyhounds who havnt been trained to live with other animals yet simply to get my numbers down. We all know what the fu***ng RSPCA and the councils are like... Euthanize anything at the drop of a hat... That's exactly why I do the work that I do. This has put a hault on any new arrivals coming to my rescue -who will now all be euthanized and may effect my permit chances. I need your URGENT HELP to help find homes for 4 greyhounds who need to be solo pets and two unclaimed CAT FRIENDLY GREYHOUNDS. please please please please help them !!!!! If you have room on your property for one of these dogs to even foster it.. I can rehome it from your location. Please please pleaseeeee help the dogs!!

WAYLAN — FREE to the Right Home - SPECIAL NEEDS

Waylan is not your average adoption. He is a small black male greyhound who was so severely traumatised by the racing industry that his life was on the line — and I fought for him because I could see what was underneath. Four months later, I know I was right.
Although it may be months before he runs up to greet you for a cuddle, he will sneak up behind you and give you quiet little kisses when he thinks you're not paying attention — and that moment, when it comes, will mean more than any dog has ever meant to you before. you will eventually get... Schneaky kisses.. tippy Tappy toes and helicopter tails...

Waylan needs a home that understands what patience actually looks like. Not weeks. Potentially months. He needs a family who will let him move at his own pace, in his own time, without pressure or expectation — and who will consider that an absolute privilege rather than an inconvenience.

What Waylan needs:

At least one other dog in the home — he genuinely needs the company of other animals to feel safe and thrive

A cat-friendly home — Waylan is cat safe, but your cat must be an indoor cat

A fully secure yard — if Waylan gets out, we will never catch him

A crate available, at least in the beginning — somewhere he can retreat and feel completely safe when the world is too much

A dog door — he is used to coming and going to toilet himself and this is important for his confidence

No walks — not now, not for a long time. Waylan doesn't need walks. He needs to feel safe, understood, and trusted.
Walks are something we may work toward together, months down the track, but they are not a condition of his happiness and they should not be a condition of yours
A patient, understanding family who will protect his nervous system while he finds his feet
Time. Lots of it. Without apology.
Waylan is free to the best home. I will deliver him personally.
If Waylan doesn't sound like the right fit for where you are right now, I have four cat friendly girls arriving very shortly. Please head to nillyraygrey.com and fill out an adoption inquiry form — I will match you carefully.
