Nipper found a 
wonderful home with Belinda on the Central Coast just before Xmas and is obviously having a whale of a time with playmate Barney the Lab. I think we would all say ‘half her luck’!!
Thanks Belinda for giving Nipper such a marvellous home and life.
Maggie has found her forever home with John, Amelia and also Curly! Good luck to all of them.
Hi, hi hi, oh my goodness HI!
I am the dog who is called Maggie! And I want to find my forever home!
Are you the person who will give me my forever home?
I have been living with the family who have three other greyhounds! They are my friends! There are five humans in the family! Two of them are very small and I love them!!

It is heartwarming indeed to receive these beautiful photos of Joseph and Susie with Nick, their new proud owner. Joseph has become Joe and Susie has become Isi after the Greek Goddess Isis. Rescue is at times very hard but these photos and the story below from Nick makes it all worthwhile. We are indeed indebted to Nick for giving these two greyhounds such a wonderful home and also for exploring their training potential, an aspect rarely touched on.
Nick writes: ’Joseph and Isis (Joe and Isi) already seem like part of the furniture: definitely part of the couch in Isi’s case! That glint in the eye that first attracted me in Joseph’s profile really does reflect his attitude to life. Tail whacking from side to side, he throws himself into everything and is a big, bold character, always willing to try new experiences and very quick to learn. Just in the last fortnight he has mastered sit, drop, stay and come and we have just start RSPCA ”Life Skills” training to see what else the keen hound mind can turn itself to.
Isi in contrast, is a little timid in new situations, always gentle and she truly is the couch goddess. She has a quietly playful nature; her favourite game being to grab the shoe you are looking for and take off with a “catch me if you want it back” look. Which she knows of course I’m never going to be able to do, especially hopping around on one leg!
It seems I needn’t have worried about my chickens as Joe and Isi quickly picked up that casual observation is OK but running at the pen is not. Now the chickens seem to be “ho-hum” and the hounds are looking for their next form of entertainment…..
Thanks very much to Peter and Jan for making it possible for me to adopt two such beautiful, fast(!),friendly and entertaining housemates.’
Chloe has found her forever home.
Chloe is a beautiful young greyhound who has just joined us and at the tender age of 17 months is hardly more than a puppy. She is a Red Fawn who is very gentle, even a bit shy at this stage, but is slowly settling in and has become more confident. She has easily accepted other dogs around her, both large and small dogs and if she is a failed racer at this tender age, then she is certainly not going to go chasing anything.
Further to that Chloe is now being fostered in a home which currently has 10 cats and 3 kittens and she is no problem living amongst them. So she is definitely CAT FRIENDLY!!
Chloe is:
* 17 months old (dob Jan 2009)
* desexed
* vaccinated
* microchipped
* heartworm tested
* costs $250
Sandy has found her forever home with Nadine, Joe and family.
Sandy is a beautiful colour, having the red of the Red fawn but also the dusky tinge of the Blue Fawn. Sandy has just arrived and her foster carer writes:
‘She is very inquisitive & likes looking at the TV-She even walks around the back to see where the picture is coming from. She likes to play with anything she can get her paws on. She pinches things & runs around with it in her mouth, not killing it but throwing & pouncing.
She does like to jump up on the kitchen bench for a look, so we are working on that & has started to ignore the birds(inside & out).
Sandy behaves well in the car & sits or lays down & is house trained, as she scratches the door when she wants to come in & go out. She will be a great for a family.’
Sandy is:
* 2 years old (dob Jan 2008)
* desexed
* vaccinated
* microchipped
* heartworm tested
* costs $250
Baby has found her forever home with Wendy and family.
Who says you are too old at the age of eight? Baby certainly isn’t. You can see from this beautiful photo that Baby is as young as ever and as well as being exceptionally gentle and affectionate, and will sleep in your bed if you let her, she can still play when she wants to and gets involved with what is happening around her. Baby is the ideal greyhound, gentle on the lead, lives with little dogs, loves a cuddle,…….who could resist her? In the second photo she watches over Britney, our 10 year old Blue girl.
Baby is:
* 8 years old
* desexed
* vaccinated
* microchipped
* heartworm tested
* costs $250

* approx 1 year old
