Big bouncy playful Ted wants to be your best friend!

Rod (Opawa Rod)
Big boy Rod is hoping for a calm family to be his whole world. He gets quite anxious when he's not sure what to expect so living with a calm, bossy bitch of a larger breed would be ideal for his confidence. He can live with dogs of any size, and loves kids, but due to his size will do best with tweens and up. You will need to be prepared to give him structure and routine to help him settle and in return he will give you his whole heart. He is house trained and crate trained.

Zoomer is an experienced pet, returned due to his family having two toddlers and it all being a bit overwhelming (Zoomer was adopted to a no-kids home). Zoomer is a playful, outgoing dog - who is quite shy in new situations and out and about. He's suited to older kids/families who don't have a lot of visitors. He's a really playful loving guy who also enjoys his own space. He can't stay home alone but will happily stay home alone with a calm bitch of a medium-large breed. He is crate trained and house trained and thrives on routine. Zoomer has had a deep corn on one foot and although this is now resolved he still will prefer a grassy backyard and only short walks.

Red (Homebush Red)
Red (Homebush Red) is an absolutely fabulous dog. At 4 years old he is ready for his forever home. A big gentle, snuggle bug Red loves nothing more than sidling up to his people for a pat and cuddle. Red would like a home with people around for a good part of the day or a female canine companion. He would absolutely love to be your best buddy and work colleague if you work from home! Red is great with dogs medium size and up. Red has had a past kennel injury resulting in him having two toes removed. It means that whilst Red loves his walks, he is never going to be a big hiker.

Tricky (Tricky)
Tricky (Tricky) is a wonderful 6 year old who was a successful race dog as well as mum and is now looking for her very own forever home. A happy, friendly and playful girl Tricky is dog social with other dogs. Tricky is currently in foster care with another Greyhound and doing well learning the ropes of pet life. She enjoys throwing her toys around and squeaky toys are favourite. She knows how to relax and be calm whilst also still having a pep in her step when it’s walk time. Tricky loves a good cuddle and we suspect if allowed she would very much enjoy being a couch dweller. We also think Tricky would be happy to stay home whilst her people are at work. She would happily live in a variety of homes and would be best suited to a home with kids 8 plus.
Adoption fee: $380.00

Adoption fee: $380.00
Aslan
Aslan is a very special boy. He is great with other dogs, in fact he tells me he would love a home where he had a companion if he was going to be home alone for any length of time. He has been socialised with children but as he can get a bit bouncy when excited older children would be more suitable. He loves going on adventures and getting out and about. Unfortunately he does have a (non-racing) injury and although he has a full clearance from the fantastic team at Animal Orthopaedics he does have his limitations that will need to be discussed with his family. For this reason he has a reduced adoption fee.
Adoption fee: $180.00
Picton
Toby (Homebush Opie)
Toby is a beautiful boy who even knows how to sit on command!

Central Hawkes Bay: Sammy is sweet and shy. He is only partially sighted, although sees well enough to get around. He does not have a degenerative condition and does not require medication. He is uncertain of the big scary world and needs a quiet home, perhaps with a calm older bitch of a medium-large breed. He is scared of zippy dogs.
