Gorgeous Leroy is not just handsome, he is a total cuddle bug who likes to nudge his head into your hands for as many pats as you’re willing to give.

Male, born 14 April, 2020.

Leroy even knows how to sit on command and is so proud to show off his party trick! Leroy could join a medium or large size doggie ‘sibling’ that complimented his easy going and friendly nature. Leroy has been assessed as unable to go to a home with cats. His ideal humans would be nine years old or older as he prefers gentle and calm affection, though polite and dog-savvy younger kids could be a good match. Leroy could stay home alone for up to six hours at a time as long as he has a comfy dog bed to snooze the day away in. This could be lengthened with canine company and routine. Like most greyhounds his exercise needs are simple. One or two 20 minute walks a day will keep his tail wagging, followed by plenty of scritches.

Leroy already has some home experience under his belt. He picked up toilet training quickly, has lovely leash manners and is gentle when taking treats from hands. Leroy has lived with young children, other dogs and even been around horses and livestock.

If you’re after a greyhound who is equal parts handsome, affectionate and trainable, Leroy will sweep you off your feet.

It’s Bug’s life, we’re just living in it. Bug is ready to enjoy pet life with his new people.

Male, born 3 June 2021

Bug’s friendly and affectionate personality quickly wins over the hearts of everyone that meets him. Bug is better suited to be the only dog in your home and lap up all your love and attention. Bug has not been assessed as cat tolerant. Bug’s two-legged companions would be best suited to be nine years or older. Currently Bug could manage up to six hours by himself, but this could be longer with routine and enrichment. Despite his playful nature, Bug has great leash manners and would enjoy one or two 20 minute strolls per day. Bug has some home life experience so has practiced spending time occupying himself, progressed in his toilet training and just relaxing with his people. He’s even started learning the “Touch” game, he’s very food motivated so training is a breeze! Bug’s new home will need to continue his education into order improve his manners around people and other dogs.

Ryder is a big, friendly, and slightly cheeky goof of a hound whose heart is as big as his whippy waggy tail.

Male, 10 August 2020.

Ryder could join a medium or large sized doggie ‘sibling’ that complimented his social and playful nature. Ryder has been assessed as unable to go to a home with cats. The little humans in his home would preferably be nine years old or older as his enthusiasm when playing could be a little much for tiny tots. Talking about playing, Ryder LOVES toys and is often seen throwing them to himself as he bounces around. he hopes his future home has a big toy box for him. Ryder has no problem staying home alone for more than six hours at a time as long as he has a comfy dog bed to snooze in and some chewy treats to pass the time. A daily routine of one or two 20 minute walks and play sessions will keep his tail wagging and his goofy heart full.
If you’re looking for a joyful companion who is equal parts snuggle and silliness, Ryder is ready to be a part of your life.

Foxtrot is ready to smoothly two-step into his forever home with all the friendly nature and charm of a ballroom gentleman.

Meet Foxtrot, Male, Born 21/12/2021.

Foxtrot could share the dancefloor with a doggie partner of any size from Cha-Cha chihuahuas to Jeté Great Danes. Foxtrot has been assessed as unable to go to a home with cats. His young human dance troupe would preferably be nine years old or older as his enthusiastic footwork when playing with toys may be overwhelming to tiny tots. Foxtrot has no problem being a soloist for more than six hours at a time as long as he has a comfy dog bed and maybe some chews. Like a typical greyhound Foxtrot just needs one or two 20 minute waltzes around the neighbourhood to keep his tail wagging at a fast tempo.

Vodka is a sweet and playful spirit with the right balance of warmth and fizz.

Meet Vodka, Female, Born 20/11/2020.

She can be a bit of a slow burn, at times starting off a little shy, but she quickly shakes things up into a zoomie and affectionate girl. Vodka could mix with a medium or large sized doggie ‘sibling’ or be a neat serve as an only hound. Vodka has been assessed as unable to go to a home with cats. Vodka would prefer if all humans in her home were nine years old or older as she prefers gentle and calm loving. Vodka could chill by her self for up to six hours at a time, this could lengthen with canine company. Like a typical greyhound Vodka likes ones or two 20 minute walks a day, however she is a bit of a show off with dazzling zoomies especially if toys are involved.

If you’re looking for a companion who is equal parts sweet and spirited Vodka is the perfect cocktail of love and fun.

Walt is our sweet and sensible gentleman who can’t wait to love you Inside Out.

Meet Walt, Male, Born 29/03/2022.

His heart is far from Frozen and he will have anyone he meets quickly Enchanted. Walt could join any sized doggie ‘sibling’ from Beverly Hills Chihuahua to Brother Bear. The Muppets in his home would be preferably nine years old or older as he is not used to boisterous young tots. Walt could be The Lone Ranger by himself for up to six hours. This time could be lengthened with routine or canine company. Walt’s favourite movie would be Toy Story as he loves toys! His playful, slightly silly side shines when you bring out a rope or soft toy. Walt exercise needs do not need to be Around The World in 80 Days, just one or two 20 minute walks will have him be World’s Best.

If you're looking for an Incredible(s) hound with movie star good looks and Golden Globe winning personality look no further than Walt!
