At Greyhound Rescue we’re always looking for ways to promote our gorgeous dogs in the hope of finding them a Forever Home.
This month we’re asking you to help us InVest in a Greyhound, so that we can purchase some promotional vests for the Greyhound Rescue pack.
Vests cost $65 each and we’re hoping to raise enough for a minimum order of 10 vests, so that we can more easily promote our gorgeous Greys that are looking for a home:
Already rescued a greyhound? You may like to order a sleek vest for your own gorgeous greyhound as well. Vests cost $65 dollars (+ postage) and we only need a minimum of 10 orders to go ahead, so please show your interest by commenting below :)

Rusty is a big dark brindle boy who is learning how to live in a home as opposed to kennels. He looks sad at times but is always pleased and excited to see you and always looking for affection. Rusty got on with the little dogs at home before he had to return to kennels.
Rusty was with a foster carer but is now back in kennels, so who is going to rescue this easy going greyhound and give him the home that he deserves?
His past foster carer Anne wrote of Rusty:
Rusty is a big beautiful young fellow and like a lot big grey boys he loves lots of cuddles and is a bit of a sook.
On walks to the park Rusty walks beside you and does not pull. He has met a lot of dogs there both large and small and he has been fine with them . He also met children of various ages and was happy to be patted by them.
He is a gentle giant and will make a great mate and companion for some lucky person.
If you are looking for a big beautiful boofhead its Rusty.
Rusty is:
2 years old (dob June 2007)
Desexed
Microchipped
Vaccinated
Heartworm tested and treated
Costs $250

Snow is:
* 3 years old (dob May 2007)

Andy and Sally’s current foster carer says: ‘This pair should be called Tweedledum and Tweedledee! They are never far apart from each other, they eat together, sleep together, walk together. The bond that they share is extraordinary considering they didn’t come into rescue together! Sally and Andy are both around 5 years old (only a month or two difference), and are just the sweetest dogs. They are so affectionate that when you walk around they will prance along next to you with their cheeks pressed to your leg! Sally and Andy are house-trained, and would be ideal for someone that works full-time as they have each other for company. However be warned, Sally sometimes thinks she is a lap dog and has been known to drape herself around one’s shoulders!’
Andy and Sally’s previous foster carer wrote:
‘Andy and Sally have been with us for about 5 weeks. In that time we have seen them grow, and become more comfortable with us, each other and their surroundings. They both love to learn and just really want to please. They are great company for each other and for many of our friends who like to pop in and visit us (but they really want to see Andy and Sally not us!)
They both love their walks, although do get a bit tired after about
20-25 mins when they then need a good rest!
Andy loves to carefully collect all his possessions and put them in a
big pile in the centre in the kitchen every morning. Sally prefers to
sleep in, having developed a fondness for the biggest sofa in the
house!’
Andy and Sally are:
* 5 years old
* desexed
* vaccinated
* microchipped
* heartworm tested and injected
* cost $250 each or neg

So, if anyone in Victoria can help her by adopting , fostering, fundraising, donating, etc. please contact her on 03 5940 8787 or 0424 569 148

Stacey came with 4 of her offspring. We found a home for Princess who is 9 years old, even before she went on the website and this week Baby, 8 years old, also found a home. It is wonderful that there are kind people out there who are willing to take on the not so young greyhounds and give them a comfortable and loving home in their later years.
Our main priority now is to find a home for Stacey, and daughter April, so that Stacey’s remaining days are not spent in kennels. She deserves better than that. Have a look at Stacey in the ‘Dogs Available’ section and if you feel you have a home to offer this grand old lady, then please contact us as soon as possible.
