Pet of the Week – Cheeky

By Natalie | Published: May 19, 2019

Hi there, I’m Cheeky and my mission in life is to be your best friend (and sleep on your couch). I’ve matured as I’ve grown older and developed some manners however I still like to go by the name of Cheeky or Sweet Cheeks. I am a lively and happy girl who is learning to play and socialise. I much prefer humans so please don’t make me hang around with any of those furry things you call cats or dogs. I’m well behaved with older children who can give me pats and treats. I’m a rather stylish girl. When I’m not wearing the latest fashion out of Milan, I’m dressed in my sleek black coat. Not to toot my own horn, but you won’t believe how shiny and soft it is. I wear a boot when I go walking, but don’t worry it goes with my outfit. I’m a country girl at heart who prefers some peace and quiet out of the big city.

From kennel shifts, paperwork, marketing, PR, social media, home visits, vet trips, events and fundraising, and everything else – we are a volunteer-run organisation. Typically, our volunteers will always tell you what Greyhound Rescue means to them and how much they love volunteering and love the dogs.

Tim Tam (on trial)

By Natalie | Published: May 18, 2019

Hi there, I’m Tam Tam and I’m just as sweet and tempting as a chocolate biscuit! I’m a bit of a cool dude that loves being the centre of attention – put it this way, I’m definitely not shy when it comes to asking for a pat. It’s not that hard to win me over but I’ll be your best friend forever if you have a little bit of roast chicken for me! When it comes to other dogs, I don’t mind a bit of company but I definitely consider myself a bit of a ladies man!

Jordy

By Natalie | Published: May 17, 2019

Hi, I’m Jordy! I’m a big loveable guy with a BIG loveable personality! I’m a goofy athletic type looking for someone who likes to zoom about as much as I do. I loooove toys, showing off, having fun, and any bit of excitement really. I’d best be suited to a home without anything small and fluffy and older kiddies only (it’s not that I don’t like little tots but I get so excited so I might knock them over). If you’re looking for a four-legged personal trainer, I might be your guy! I just love getting out and about to stretch my legs – I’ll have you fit in no time!

Bolt

By Natalie | Published: May 12, 2019

Hello! I’m Bolt, and If tall dark and handsome is your criteria, I already fit the bill. Add to that my athletic build, my radar ears to catch all your signals, and cheeky personality I could just be the perfect catch! Just like my namesake, I’d say I’m pretty partial to a zoomie or two… oh, and playing with toys – love it! I can be a wee bit shy around new things but it doesn’t take long for my happy personality to come through, especially if you’ve got a toy or a good ear scratch for me!! I’m not too sure about those small fluffy-type ‘dog’ things yet, so best if you don’t have any of those at yours.

Sonic

By Natalie | Published: May 10, 2019

Hi there, I’m super Sonic! Nice to meet you! I’m a super happy guy that will always greet you with enthusiasm and big wagging tail to let you know I need a good ear scratch. Besides asking for ear scratches, my other interests include squeaky toys, and not to mention I’m a bit of a roast chicken enthusiast. I don’t mind the company of other dogs, so if you think you have a doggo buddy for me, I’d just like to meet them first to make sure we get along!

Dobby (on hold)

By Natalie | Published: May 10, 2019

Hi, I’m Dobby and I’m here to charm the socks off you! Besides being ridiculously good looking, I’ve been told I have excellent manners. I’m also a self-amusing greyhound! I’m happy to entertain myself with my toys then settle in for a good chill out session. Being the affable guy that I am, besides loving the company of humans, I wouldn’t say no to a bit of company in the form of a doggy friend if you have one of those for me to hang out with.

Joanie (on trial)

By Natalie | Published: May 10, 2019

Hi, I’m Joanie. I’m a sweet and petite girl that’s happy just to laze the days away. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good zoomie now and then but then I’m happy to get back to my very important greyhound work of trying achieving maximum relaxation. I do have to tell you tho, I LOVE my food. When I’m not sleeping it’s my next favourite thing… and sometimes I’m not very good at sharing my food because I love it so much but I’m working really hard on my manners – promise! I really am the sweetest and cutest girl and more than happy to share my new home with other doggie friends – big or small!

Priscilla (on trial)

By Natalie | Published: May 10, 2019

Hi there, I’m Priscilla, queen of the kennels, but I’m really looking to be queen of your couch… (hint: this is where you come in!). I’m a sweet, charming girl with plenty of personality. You can be sure I’ll be using all my charms to be asking you for pats at every opportunity! As you might be able to tell, I’m a pretty sociable kind of girl – I’m happy to have another big dog as a friend for now while I’m learning not to get so happy around the smaller kind of dogs.
