Story
Tess is an energetic girl who likes to be the star of the show! She can be a little diva but underneath it all, Tess is just a sweet and affectionate girl who wants to share all of her love with you. Tess has had limited exposure to life as a pet however she is coming along well in her training to reach her full paw-tential (especially when treats are used in the training)! Tess can be a little reactive to distractions, however she is showing consistent improvements in her training. She does best in areas with opaque or slightly obstructed fencing and she knows and responds to her name. Tess is a very friendly girl and loves to trot up to people, looking for some pats and rubs! Tess has experience with children too, ages 10-16 years. Tess got on great with the kids and would definitely be a great fit in a home with older children. While Tess is very human social, this unfortunately does not extend to the other dogs she has met. Tess has met with a number of other dog breeds, including other greyhounds and small dogs, however she prefers to be the only dog around and does not socialise very well with others. For this reason, Tess would need to be in a home where she is the only dog and if possible, in an area with a low dog population. Tess is an independent lady, so as well as enjoying her own company, she has shown no issues with being left alone for longer periods of time. Tess would be a good fit in a home where her humans are out during the day for working or school hours. Tess is a lovely dog with a very big heart and with a bit more training, a little patience and a lot of love from her new family, she will quickly become the beating heart of the home. She is sweet and affectionate and would make a great addition to a family with older kids where she can shine her brightest.

Story
Henry, aka Henry the Hawk, is a happy black ex-racer born on November 1, 2019. His sire is Zambora Brockie and his dam is Smashing Sally. Henry ran in 54 races all over Australia before coming to America. We do know that Henry should not live with cats. Henry is a happy, energetic and strong boy. He loves to go for walks, runs, and also playing with balls and toys. He is friendly and sociable, adores being with people and hanging out with you, loves car rides and is up for adventures. Henry would suit an active household with a backyard, best with older kids as he would knock over young children. He is ok for workers as after his morning run in the yard or a walk, he is happy to lie around until you get home, then he will be excited to see you and want to get going again! He would be ok inside for some chill time with you after exercise, though he needs to learn more house manners in a foster home.

Story
Borz is the ultimate good boy! He is a happy, social, chilled out, gentle giant with a heart of gold. Borz has not spent any time living domestically as a pet however, it was definitely the life he was born to have! Borz is super calm, chilled out and adapts to just about anything. He is great on the lead, not a barker or a jumper and so laid back that the only time you’ll see Borz very active is when you encourage him to play a ball game! Despite his big size, Borz is not super active or high energy beyond the occasional walk. He loves to have a quick run around the yard and to play chase with the ball (although he is not very good at the bringing it back part!), but as soon as he’s had enough, Borz will run straight into his bed, and let you know it’s snooze time! Borz is a very sociable guy, but particularly with other Greyhounds. He has met with smaller dog breeds and got along fine but mostly he just ignored them! Borz is used to living with chickens, and even some pigeons in a pen, and so smaller animals don’t really faze him. Borz adores human company most of all! He enjoys playtime, and the physical handling he gets from people. Borz is like a shadow who loves to follow people around the yard, sticking close by for as many pats as he can get! He is incredibly loyal and just can’t wait to find some humans he can call his own. Borz is a wonderful, handsome, happy dog that would suit a quieter, more laid-back lifestyle with almost any type of family. He would be great with someone who lives alone, a couple, or a family with older kids who understand that he is a gentle, calm dog that doesn’t require a lot of activity or hustle and bustle. Borz would do well in a home with other Greyhounds and maybe even some chickens, so long as he has some space to run around in when the mood takes him! Overall, Borz needs a forever home with people he can love as much as they will love him.

Jocko is a wonderful, fun, and happy dog with a lust for life! Jocko is a super confident boy who has a great sense of adventure! He has no issues exploring new environments or meeting new people- all just potential friends to him! He’ll sniff and investigate and suss everything and everyone out, making sure he hasn’t missed an opportunity to make a friend for life! It’s not just humans that Jocko enjoys meeting, he is also very good with other dogs. Jocko has socialised mostly with other Greyhounds however has met some small dogs on several occasions, including a Chihuahua and an Italian Greyhound. He always gets along fine with the smallies and even completely ignored them the last time he met them- he doesn’t want to come off too strong either! More than anything, Jocko loves the car! He just adores lounging in the back, stretching his toes out and posing for pictures- a little model in training with the way he smiles at the camera! Jocko is an all-round fantastic dog. He loves to explore and learn new things and just can’t wait to find his forever home.

Story
Andie is a beautiful, fun, happy girl with a heart of gold. She is just an all-round superstar who can’t wait to become a pet. Andie is one of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet. She is super social and loves to meet new people and make new friends. She is very playful and excitable, always hoping you’ll want to play and give her a quick cuddle! She is great with older children as they are usually the only ones that can keep up with her energy levels! Don’t be fooled by her active personality though, Andie’s not a hyper dog and actually walks very well on the lead. Andie is not only a great friend to people, she isalso wonderful with other dogs. Andie has met a wide range of dog breeds, of all different shapes and sizes! She has socialised with Italian Greyhounds, a Border Collie, catle dogs and Cavoodles to name a few and she was always just great with them! A quick sniff and hello, maybe some playing if they were up for it, and Andie would be on her way again happy to have even more friends added to her list! Andie is also well able to keep herself entertained! She loves a quick run around; sniffing and playing in new environments and dipping her litle toes in some water whenever she gets the chance! Andie is very fond of her toys and in particular, loved a litle ducky toy that she had previously. Andie is just the ultimate pet. She emits the happiest most joyful energy and would brighten any home that she enters.
