My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

G'day, my name is Bronx and I am a light brindle male coming in at 33 kg ( 72 lbs ) from down under! I will turn 4 in September and I am a very handsome, extremely happy, friendly and always smiling greyhound. I have a quirky personality that makes me very endearing and lovable. I have a big heart and absolutely love cuddles. I love to meet new people and always want to be part of everything. I love going for walks and being out and about, I would be great in a home where I can get daily walks but also a run in the back yard. I get along with little dogs and big dogs. I react well with praises and rewards and if I am doing something wrong a stern NO will do the job. If your looking for a lifelong friend, go on adventures with - you found the perfect partner in ME !!

Dog friendly: Yes Cat friendly: ? Kid friendly: Yes

NOTE!!!


Our Philosophy: Adopting a greyhound IS a lifetime commitment. The greyhound can be expected to live 12 to 14 years. To ensure the safety and health of the greyhound, there are 'Adoption Requirements' that must be complied with explicitly. View them on our adoption page and PLEASE do not consider adoption if you will not be able to meet this lifetime commitment or adhere to these requirements.

Please also consider the financial responsibility in adopting a greyhound - this responsibility does not end with the Adoption Fee of $250.00. While greyhounds tend to be a pretty healthy breed, there are veterinary costs associated with caring for any dog.

GREYHEART's Adoption fee includes:
Spay or neuter, Teeth cleaning-extractions included, Heartworm test, Heartworm medication - 3 month's worth, DHLPP vaccine, Lepto booster if needed, Corona-virus vaccine, Bordetella vaccine-if needed, Rabies vaccine, Flea and tick treatment, Fecal test and appropriate medication until negative results are obtained, tapeworm medication - if needed, Collar, leash, muzzle, and GREYHEART identification tag.

In the interest of the rescued/retired greyhounds we place, part of the adoption procedure includes an application interview. The purpose of this interview is to be sure the new adopters are prepared to accept the moral, physical and financial responsibilities involved in owning a greyhound...... We try to match the new adopter AND the new greyhound to fit each other's lifestyle.

Due to the greyhound's calm nature and their need for a quiet environment, we generally don't place them in homes with children under the age of 5 or homes with more than 2 children under the age of 10. Past experiences have shown us that adding a greyhound to either of these scenarios has a very low chance of success.

We want your home to be their forever home!



Please go to www.greyheart.org for information regarding the adoption of this greyhound.

GreyHeart conducts in home visits with all our applicants, therefore,
our Service Area is generally limited to a 2 hr round trip from the Metropolitan Detroit Area.
In the interest of the rescued/retired greyhounds we place, part of the foster application procedure includes an application interview. The purpose of this interview is to be sure the new fosters are prepared to accept the moral, physical and minor financial responsibilities involved in fostering a greyhound through GreyHeart.
 
Due to the greyhound's calm nature and their need for a quiet environment, we generally don't place them in homes with children under the age of 6.  Past experiences have shown us that adding a greyhound to that scenario has a very low chance of success.

Additional adoption info

Adopting a greyhound is a lifetime commitment. The greyhound can be expected to live 12 to 14 years. To ensure the safety and health of the greyhound, the following "Adoption Requirements" must be complied with explicitly. Please do not consider adoption if you will not be able to meet this lifetime commitment or adhere to these requirements.
Please also consider financial responsibility in adopting a greyhound - this responsibility does not end with the Adoption Fee of $225.00. While greyhounds tend to be a pretty healthy breed, there are veterinary costs associated with caring for any dog.

GREYHEART's Adoption fee includes:

Adopters must agree and be aware: of the importance of keeping their Greyhound on lead when not in an enclosed fenced area; that Greyhounds must live inside the home and cannot be kept in an outdoor kennel/dog house; that identification must be on their Greyhound at all times; that a Greyhound must NEVER be placed on a tie out chain. Being sight hounds and running up to 45 mph, this can literally break their necks; that if no fenced in yard is provided in their home, that their Greyhound must be leash walked no less than 4 times a day to relieve itself; to keep all necessary vaccines/tests current each year and will keep their Greyhound on heartworm preventative; that if for any reason they am unable to keep their Greyhound, they agree to return him/her to this adoption agency; that they certify that all information on the application is true and correct; that they release permission to contact the veterinarian/personal reference listed by them; to sign the contractual agreement.
