Maggie (previously Vicki) is the sweetest, loving, gentle soul I’ve ever seen. I didn’t know I wanted a Greyhound until I met her. When hanging out with other hounds or dogs, she rallies them to play and have fun. She has a big personality and can be a bit stubborn at times.She has settled well into our apartment life and loves napping around the place. She is incredibly social, especially with humans and other big dogs.

Mini first came to us as a foster dog, but we failed fostering! We loved her bubbly, fun personality and how she loves our first greyhound, Keith. She’s a cheeky girl and makes us all laugh. She loves walking and meeting new people. We have now renamed her Mika and she is a wonderful addition to our family.

We renamed him Hamish, and he is the most lovable and gentle dog.I would highly recommend a greyhound to anyone. Only short walks are required, and he walks perfectly at my pace. No pulling or excitement—just happy to be with me.He brings a sense of calm into my home with his gentleness and quirky personality. Hamish will walk into my granddaughter’s room, take one of her toys, look to see if we are watching, then saunter through to the lounge, put it down, and lay down to see what I will do. He gives it up as a gift, knowing he has his own toys. He is not a destructive dog and has fitted in so well. We all love him so very much.Everyone who meets him comments on how gentle and chilled out he is! That’s my boy Hamish!

Chief loves his walks, but in between them, he’s happy to lounge around. He still has a cheeky side—insisting on getting on our bed when we’re out for longer than he’d like, though he doesn’t bother when we’re home! He’s already been on a camping trip, taken car rides, visited the beach, and we look forward to making many more memories with him.We hadn’t initially planned to let him in the bedroom, but now we actively bring his bed in when we call it a night, as he just wants to be close to us—and we love that feeling too. Chief is perfect for us! I had registered to adopt with a few greyhound rehoming agencies, but I can’t fault the team at Love A Greyhound. They are patient, understanding, and truly committed to doing what’s best for the dog to ensure the perfect fit. I can’t recommend them enough!

Judy came to live with us as a foster dog. Within a week I knew she was the one. So, we became her forever home.She loves to be near you and is like a gigantic cat. She rubs against you showing her love. She has mastered the stairs and is now home. Her playful side is always there (big goofball) and when we arrive home if she is not inside the zoomies hit. She responds to our voices the moment she hears us. She is so well behaved, except for the occasional shredding of paper.Our neighbour has also fallen in love with her and takes her for a walk every evening whilst I am out of action. She is excellent with other dogs and is always keen to say hi!Judy just loves everybody and wants to be part of the action.I cannot imagine life without her, she is the best company whilst my partner works away!Thank you LAG. I will continue to foster to help other beautiful gentle giants to find their forever home.

Sven is a wonderful, well-mannered, and adorable greyhound. It took him some time to settle in and adjust to sharing his home and humans with his new sister, Opal. Initially, he felt the need to mark his territory indoors, but suggesting a “Treat for a Pee” outside has helped improve that issue. The first few nights were very cold, and he howled while sleeping outside, but now he settles down by 7pm and is found sound asleep even in -4 degrees. He is cozy at night and doesn’t seem bothered by the cold.
Opal, being a husky, enjoys being outside, but with Sven indoors, she is spending more time inside, which is a positive. With the return of sunny days, Sven likes to bask in the sun and alternates between lounging in the house and the backyard, enjoying his retirement. Special thanks to Christine and Graham for fostering Sven.

Betty Boo has found her boo! Betty is adjusting wonderfully to her new home. She is a charming girl with a kind heart who adores spending time with you and receiving pets. Betty particularly enjoys going for walks, especially on the beach. She has found her forever family with Greg and the rest of the family at @almastreetvethospital Everyone at the clinic loves her when she visits, especially when she hangs out in the office. Enjoy those discounted vet fees, Betty!

Roo came to live with us as a foster dog. After many months of no one else being interested in him, we couldn’t imagine why this might be the case, nor how we might live without him. So we became his forever home.He wants to be near us, wherever we are – and we really enjoy his company. He has completely made himself at home – and his playful side comes out more and more. Who wouldn’t want to chew up a good piece of cardboard?! These antics – and the looks… I mean – those are eyes to fall in love with. If they aren’t making us smile.He’s made himself a playmate with a teddy bear that survived R’s childhood. He’s also made himself a couch mate with R (the previous owner of the bear) and they love to cozy up for an evening in. When housemates aren’t around, then the beanbag is a favourite for both resting and a good playfight.Don’t let the resting pose fool you, this dog loves an energetic outing – the minute the car keys jingle, he is up for an adventure, and we’ve discovered lots of new places in our neighborhood as a result. Last week we took another visit to Bunnings, and he proudly trotted out of the store with a new toy he chose in his mouth. It even made the staff smile.When H recently was away for two weeks, Roo’s welcome back was a scene of unbounded joy. Just another sign that a match has been made in doggy heaven!Thanks LAG for being our matchmaker. - H&R
