Squeaky has passed her trial period to be adopted by Mike and Fiona who have already adopted Jack and Poppy from us, plus Angus from GAP.
Squeaky was one of a large litter and from the beginning the owner knew that Squeaky was too quiet and gentle to race, so she never entered on that journey.
A small Blue Brindle only 18 months old, Squeaky is the ultimate gentle greyhound who will make an ideal family pet, and to cap it all she has tested as Cat Friendly .
Squeaky is:
* 18 months old
* desexed
* microchipped
* vaccinated
* heartworm tested and treated
* costs $300

Audrey has found her forever home with Leah and family.
Audrey was found wandering loose in the City(Sydney) and it is hard to believe that no one has come forward to claim such a sweet little girl. She is very quiet, small, gets on well with small dogs, is no trouble at all and would make an excellent family pet.
Audrey is:
* 21 months old(dob Feb 2010)
* desexed
* microchipped
* vaccinated
* heartworm tested
* costs $300

Audrey has now found her forever home with Leah and family but this was her story.
Audrey, only 21 months old, a small, sweet, gentle girl who seems to be used to home life and is in good condition. Can you imagine losing her and not claiming her back from the Pound?
The Pound called her Lady but we already have a Lady, so not sure what to call her. Whatever her name she needs a home where she can live in comfort for her remaining years, so if you can help her please contact us immediately.
After overwhelming popularity we have named this dark haired beauty Audrey, after the beautiful Audrey Hepburn. Thank you to Kobi’s Mum, Holly, for the name.

The forecast of rain never happened and a beautiful spring Sydney day set the tone for an excellent day at Mosman.
The first picture shows the winner of the raffle, Petrina, along with greyhound Missy who also found a new home on the day.
The second picture shows five year old Michaela who won the colouring-in competition.
The day was an overall success with Missy finding a home, Ellie finding a foster home and lots of people finding out about the greyhounds.
Thank you to everyone who turned up to help particularly, Mike, Fiona, Charlotte, Natasha, Donna, Deb, Brian and Jan. The day would not have been a success without your hard work.
Also thanks to those of you who came along with greyhounds and it was good to see Pablo getting back on deck after breaking his leg.

If you read Harry’s profile on the website, he is a Special Needs greyhound, a little different to most.

We recently had a donation of $5000 from SunSuper towards a vehicle for which we are extremely grateful. However, that is only a start and we now need someone to follow that up, so that we can really get ‘on the road’ with something.
Our 1995 station wagon has now done 311,000km and recently was due for its Rego check. Luckily we made it!! Furthermore it has done 24,500km in less than 4 months and we are not sure how long the old girl can keep this up. If it breaks down then we will be unable to do the greyhound transport required to collect greyhounds, go to the kennels, vets, do home checks, take greyhounds to homes, do stalls, etc, etc, as we have insufficient funds to buy a new one.
We are in URGENT NEED OF A VEHICLE TO DO ALL OF THESE THINGS WITHOUT HAVING TO CONSTANTLY WORRY ABOUT GETTING TO OUR DESTINATION, especially if we have greyhounds on board.
So if you have a vehicle to donate we would be most grateful to hear from you and if you are a business we can give you advertising on the vehicle.

We would like to thank all of you who either helped or just came along to enjoy yourselves and empty your pockets for Greyhound Rescue. Our MC for the evening, Brian Fairweather, was in great form and did an excellent job to keep people happy and also raise funds for our Charity. From the feedback everyone enjoyed the evening and we raised nearly $2000 dollars, an excellent effort.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to the success of the evening, to Forestville RSL for donating a Function Room free of charge and all the local businesses who donated gifts or vouchers.

Rocky has found his forever home with Leanne, Jim and family.
Rocky has most unusual colouring, being a dark brindle with a cream colour and the pound labelled him as greyhound x whippet, although he is too large for a whippet.
We do not know his age but he is probably about a year old and exhibits the delightful playfullness of a puppy. He is an innocent young pup who has missed the training given to most greyhounds to make them chase and coil them up like springs to explode out of the box. So he is a relaxed and easy going young boy with a very soft coat and nature.
Rocky would fit into a family with children but would need the company of another dog or greyhound. He will not need to wear a muzzle.
Rocky is currently in foster care in Sydney NSW.
Rocky is:
- approx 1 year old
- desexed
- vaccinated
- microchipped
- heartworm tested
- costs $300
