Handsome blue boy Dobby, now known as Milo has been adopted!

Love a greyhound contacted Dobbys previous owner who was looking to rehome him due to a change in work circumstances meant he wasn’t able to give him the time he deserved. 

Milo has been adopted by one of our wonderful foster carers and we are so thrilled to see him blossoming and spending time out on the beach and sniffing around his new garden 🌿 Milo is a beautiful aloof boy who likes his own company but then whines for attention...go figure 😂 A good reminder that male hounds are actually sometimes the most snuggly and affectionate so don’t be overlooking them! 🥰

Thank you Ava @ladyhendra and Tim for giving this boy a new home and we know he is going to love his adventures with you 💞

Thank you to @florence_the_greyhound  for fostering this boy and helping us find him his forever home 🏠💕

Sweet baby Buster stole many hearts when Love A Greyhound busted him out of the Rockhampton pound🐶

This loveable big puppy has found his home with Suzi, James and fur sister Stevie 💞

Busters new family say that they love his happy-go-lucky attitude to life - he'll be just as happy laying around near us on a workday or jumping in the car for a drive to the park as he is tearing around the backyard with Stevie (pictured). He's just the best and we're so happy LAG brought him into our lives! 🥰

We are so excited that Buster has found his perfect forever family and takes our adoption count for 2020 to 70! 

What a milestone 7️⃣0️⃣🎉

Thank you to Lisa and Paul @nina_simone_the_greyhound for fostering Buster and helping him on his journey 💞

💕ADOPTED🐾

Beautiful girl Lulu has settled in well.  She loved her first trip to the beach - dragging dad into the surf after a new friend!  She is quite keen on hanging with the guys for video games and Star Wars, and participating in Mum's video meetings.   She has a huge toy box in an effort to reduce the toll on coasters and shoes... but apparently this is just somewhere to hide the coasters and shoes!!  We wish the family all the best for the future with this baby girl.  You can follow her on @lulu.the.greyhound

Young and cheeky girl Ruby is a foster fail 💞

Ruby landed in foster with @greyhound_fosterfamilylove only a few weeks ago but it quickly became apparent at how besotted they were to have their first female foster 💓

Ruby who has been renamed Fern will live her best life on the Gold Coast with new mum Corry and her hooman sisters. Fern waits patiently for her sisters to come home from school and then enjoys many hours of pats, cuddles and playtime. They have quite the girl gang going 💕

Congratulations to you all and we hope to see Fern become an amazing foster sister to any future foster houndies 💞

Sweet girl Shilo is a foster fail 💖

Sarah and James are one of our first time foster carers but fell head over heels in love with perfectly behaved Shilo and decided that there was no way she could go anywhere else 💖Sarah says she definitely wasn’t expecting to be a foster fail on the first go but we all know that feeling of when you know you know 🥰

Congratulations Shilo we think you’ve landed on all 4 paws 💘

Music who is now known as Jenny has been adopted 💘

Jenny has settled into family life well. She has an abundance of beds, although like most prefers to sneak on the couch or human beds and has a huge yard which she does her zoomies in to impress and mildly scare the spectators 🙈

Jenny has a hooman sibling who loves to play with her and read to her 🥰

Congratulations Jenny on finding your own loving family🥰

Buster who is now called Genji has been adopted. Genji himself has written a little update on his transition to pet life...

Hi everyone, Genji (formerly known as Buster) checking in with a brief update on my journey into pethood. It’s been almost three weeks since I adopted my new humans. I’m still getting used to them, but am starting to get the hang of their peculiar ways and the Teneriffe lifestyle. I quickly made my way into my humans’ bedroom, where I snuggle up on my new doona at night. They don’t quite understand how to make my beds yet, so I do have to rearrange them to my liking. Otherwise I enjoy early morning walks along the river, a good play with my favourite toys, lots of cuddles, being brushed with my very own currycomb and lounging at coffee shops. Also, I walk very well on the lead, am becoming a pro in stairs-climbing and am quite chilled around other dogs—well, apart from the odd growl to keep them in check. I’ve met lots of other greyhound friends and am going to Greyhound Manners classes from next week; it’s more for my humans than for myself, hopefully they will learn a thing or two. Overall things are going well with my new pack Cheers, G

Congratulations to Genji and family.   We would also like to thank our superstar foster carers @greyhound_fosterfamilylove for getting this lovely boy ready for his forever home.

Lizzie who is now Honey has been adopted by Jaz, Ash and family.  

Honey has settled in well and has been making herself at home collecting the kids toys and taking up residency on the couch! 

We wish the whole family so much happiness with Honey and hope she makes the best furry sibling for the kids to grow up with.

Nile has been adopted

Beautiful Nile also joins some of our previous adoptees living the high life in Teneriffe and enjoying those fancy river strolls.

Nile already has a beautiful friendship with his new small human and has taken a liking to snoozing on her bunk beds even though he has been spoilt with a huge bed - a boy can never have too many options.

Congratulations to his new family and we hope he bring you lots of happiness. You can follow this handsome boy over on his very on insta @niletheriverdawg 

Huge thank you to @sassy_miss_willow for fostering this boy and helping him find his forever home.

Our big character Gino has been adopted 🏡

Gino is such a beautiful boy and we at Love a Greyhound fell in love with his penchant for hoarding household items 🍾😂

Glacier has settled in so well and her smaller siblings love the security of their long legged sister and will hide under her if they are unsure on walks 🥰
Congratulations Glacier on landing such a cool forever family! New mum Airi is the creator behind @thepod.greys so we know Glacier will be one very accessorised hound 😍

 Longsie is another one of our happy #fosterfails 💞  We welcomed Longsie a few weeks ago and his foster carers have worked hard to settle Longsie into pet life. They have helped him master the tricky back stairs and have taken him to experience the excitement of the beach although like some he is not too sure of the water just yet 🌊 He has slotted into life perfectly and we think he looks pretty content knowing he is in his forever home with his forever family 💕  Congratulations Longsie 🐾🐶💕

Happy boy Dale has been adopted 💕

Handsome Dale and his VERY waggy tail are living the high life in Newstead and Dale loves chatting up all the local greys. When he’s not flirting with the girls in the neighbourhood showing off with his long legs and salt and pepper face he loves a bit of daytime TV and doesn’t move for hours - he definitely passes the greyhound test on laziness 😂

Our beautiful and calm girl Barbie has been adopted by Jenny and family 💗

We knew that affectionate girl Barbie would love to be surrounded by this families love and she has settled in well and is their constant shadow. We think they all look rather smitten don’t they?

Huge thank you to Barbies foster carer @phil.the.greyt for taking such good care of her and letting Barbie steal all of the pats!! We are always so grateful for our foster carers as we couldn’t do this without them 🙏🏼

This is an exciting milestone for us as this marks our 21st adoption for 2020 and puts us level with the 21 adoptions we facilitated in 2019.

It’s been a busy and exciting year and we couldn’t do it without you 🙏🏼

  Rosie has been adopted by Ranita and family 🏡💓
Chilled out Rosie settled in well and her new family tell us she has a beautiful personality and has bought them so much joy 💓

This adoption is our 20th adoption since the beginning of this year and we are so happy so many people have found love and companionship with a greyhound during the recent difficult times. We might be biased but we think they make the best lockdown companions 🐶💕🐾

 Who remembers our special boy Inky?
Inky is a special needs boy that was born with a deformed front foot. Late last year we raised some funds for him to enable him to get some treatment. After specialist consultation it was decided that surgery was not his best option.
Inky came to live in Brisbane with a foster family and 2 other greyhounds. He has seen a range of specialists and physios and has had the use of many walking aids, all with limited success. One last option is a custom made boot that is on order from America 🤞🏼 He's a very happy boy and his deformed leg hasn't stopped him from leading a very full life, just like any other hound. He has gained a lot of strength in his leg and is walking well on soft surfaces, weight bearing on all four legs when on grass. Our aim is to have him walking properly on all surfaces whilst limiting his discomfort. He is an active boy that does all the normal zoomies, playing fetch, trips to the beach, all on 3 and a half legs. The best news for Inky is that he has been foster failed by his incredibly supportive foster family (Inky will be the families fourth foster fail) so we know he is in the best hands! 💞 Thank you to all the people that donated to his cause and bought raffle tickets. The money raised has been well spent on helping this gorgeous young boy 🐶🐾💞

 Kia has been adopted! This gorgeous girl captured many hearts in her few weeks in foster.

A huge thank you to JoJo, Josh and Dobby for being such amazing foster parents and giving Kia the perfect start to her new life 💞 

11th February, 2020

 The beautiful Miss Foxy has been adopted by Morgan and Michael who came to meet her at our adoption event last weekend 💞

Congratulations to all involved and big thanks to foster carer Bree for taking such wonderful care of this gorgeous girl 💟

A D O P T I O N N E W S📣 We are delighted to announce that Flora has been adopted 💕
Here’s some words from Flora’s new family 💖

Flora’s funny and sweet and a bit naughty. The dog that would eat your homework. She’s quite chatty and vocal. And typical greyhound, play hard, sleep long.
A special shout out to Flora’s brother Curly who may or may not want to be an only child again 🙈 Follow this sweet duo @curly_and_co and we wish them all the happiness for their future adventures as a family.
