Playful Paisley is primed and ready to add sunshine and happiness to her forever home.

Meet Paisley, Female, Born 22/05/2021.

Paisley is a friendly, cheeky character who will charm and entertain everyone she meets. Paisley could buddy up with a small or tall canine companion. Children in her home would need to be on the older side, maybe 14 and over while she learns her manners (she likes to get air). Paisley could entertain herself for six or more hours while her people are elsewhere. Paisley has cute, floppy ears and gorgeous little face. Paisley would enjoy one or two 20 minute daily strolls.

Don’t let Sloth’s name fool you, she is a sweet, polite, and canine social girl.

Meet Sloth, Female, Born 28/03/2022.

Sloth has a playful side that can be brought out through her love of toys. Although she first comes across as shy, Sloth is not a solitary mammal and could go home with canine pals of any size. The humans in Sloth’s life should be nine years old or older and be able to slow down and unwind with her. Sloth would like to hang with her family like limbs on a tree and would not like to spend more than three hours alone at a time. Unlike the animals of her namesake, Sloth the greyhound needs a little more exercise than the average sloth. Not much, but one or two 20-minute walks would have her singing from the treetops and happily flopping back into her toys and bed.

October saw 32 WA homes welcome greyhounds into their family. We can’t wait to watch these lovely dogs blossom with their new people.

👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 Fantastic Foster Carers! Thanks to the help of our wonderful foster carers, 11 dogs were given a leg up into pet life. These lucky dogs were Winnie, Biscotti, Luna, Monty, Mouse, Topaz, Roku, Tofu, Gilbert, Alaska, Koko, Arby, and Mochi.

😺 Feline Friends 😺 After cementing feline friendship skills in foster care; Frida, Nori, Morph, Snoots, Leia, Yak and Topaz have joined forever homes with a kitty companions.

All shapes and sizes 🐶 Frida has joined a home with a 13 year old small mixed breed called Zee, and Gilbert’s housemates include four guinea pigs, and one budgie.

🛩 ‘Hounds going statewide! Winnie made an extraordinary 600+ kilometre journey to her forever home in Kalgoorlie! Rye also had a lengthy 315km ride to her new home in Quinninup. Morph and Biscotti will be Bunbury neighbours and might sniff each other out around town. Just a little drive away, Paris will be loving the wildflowers and small town atmosphere of Toodyay.

October first is Black Dog Day! A day that highlights darker coated dogs who are less likely to get taken home. Let’s shine a light on our black coated dogs that beat stereotypes this month; Milk, Jasper, Frida, Nori, Mouse, Snoots, Ash, Koko, Leia, Topaz, Baxter, Roku, Tofu, Alaska, Rye, Arby, and Brax.

Proving that greyhounds are the ultimate pringle dogs in that it is nearly impossible to stop at one; Biscotti, Gypsy, Mochi, Rye, and Brax joined homes that currently have a GAPWA greyhound in residence!

Although he is a friendly and social man when out on the town, his live-in doggie companions should be on the larger side. Stewart is an old simple fella.

Scotch is a smooth traditional greyhound blend, with tastes of playful, friendly and shy.

Meet Scotch, Male, Born 07/03/2022.

Someone may have overpoured his ears causing them to look too large for his head, but they do not get in the way of the loving this mellow man has to give. Scotch could be enjoyed on his own, or with a medium to large sized doggie pairing. Although, unlike his namesake, he is not adult only; he could be suited for humans nine years or over. Scotch is a good all-rounder, happy to play with toys and relax by himself for more than six hours at a time.

A big cuddle bug, Jumanji could spend up to six hours alone, possibly more with the right canine sibling. This little man does not have a 104minute run time as he would much prefer one or two 20-minute romps by your side.

Tonic Foster Update I Tonic is on the lookout for his right mixer

Tonic's bubbly, fizzy, and sparkly personality is coming out in his foster home.

Tonic’s foster carers say they love how he unintentionally makes them laugh; “he gets the zoomies for longer bursts and it is hilarious to watch”. His awkward happy zoomies around the home brings a smile to anyone who sees them. He has good leash manners and is a curious guy who loves to check out the world around him, taking in all the sniffs. Tonic is a certified people loving pup and loves to politely say hello to new humans he meets on his walks.

Tonic has settled well into pet life, mastering toilet training and snoozing away without stress when his foster carers leave the home for more than ten hours. According to his foster cares, his favourite garnish in life are pigs ears and he hopes his future home will keep him well supplied.

Tonic would love to be your beverage of choice and bring you as much joy as he has brought to his foster carers. They summed him up as “a treat to have around and absolutely loves cuddling up against the two of us”.

Osprey is a tall and handsome boy. Playful, tall, social, cheeky, and did we mention tall?

Meet Osprey, Male, Born 14/01/2023.

This friendly giant doesn’t let his height stop him from making friends with all sizes of canine mates; Osprey could share a home with a small dog or a similarly king-sized friend. Due to his tall frame and excitable nature Osprey is better suited to children a little bigger who are nine years or older. His big body holds a big heart, and he does not want to be away from his family for long. He prefers time alone to be three hours or less, but a fellow canine buddy could increase this. His long legs would love a stretch by going on one or two 20-minute strolls with you. If Osprey could make a request to his new family, it would be for a toybox as long as he is. This boy loooooooooooves his toys, whether it be playing with you, with older children or even by himself, toys are his second favourite (after his humans). If you perhaps know of a basketball team looking for a furry player or always wished you could own a giraffe, Osprey could be the boy for you!

Philly Foster Update | Philly is on the lookout for his perfect forever home!

Philly is cheesing it up in foster care, enjoying the sunshine outside as the air gets warmer and as he slowly learns to be part of pet life.

No human that meets Philly receives a chilli greeting as he is a smooth, polite, people lovin’ pup. His foster carers are smitten with his affectionate personality letting us know that “he wags his tail a lot and loves giving smooches”.

According to his foster carer, your day will start with biiiiig morning stretches and your evening will be spread full with zoomies. They say “From 6-9pm he will usually get the zoomies and throw around his toys outside it’s so funny”.

If you are lucky you will even see the tips of his ears flip inside out! Philly thinks the outdoors is the cream of the crop, and is all about grass beneath his toes and feeling the wind on his (large) ears. He is capable of spending more than four hours alone in the backyard, spread out on his personal patio lounge in the sun.

Could Philly be the missing addition on the bagel that is your life?

You may not be able to say that fast, but you can place an adoption application quickly! Perky Peter’s happy home could include children from nine years old; he’d be the perfect playmate. Other delightful dogs that live with personable Peter could be small or sizeable.

23/10/2024

You’ll need shades, this boy’s future is so bright.

Meet Otis, Male, Born 12/05/2020.

Otis is just so bubbly and bright; his forever family will believe the sun shines from his gorgeous face. Otis’ new adventure buddies could include small or tall doggy friends, so if you have a Chi or a Great Dane, Otis will be their friend! With his ability to be both playful and self-regulating, Otis could be a playmate for children around nine years old, potentially younger if they’re sensible kiddos. Otis can currently manage up to three hours alone, potentially longer with training and enrichment, and almost certainly longer with a canine companion. Otis loooooves a rope toy and is an exuberant, happy boy. Otis would enjoy breaking up his day of lounging around with one or two 20 minute strolls around his neighbourhood.

Otis is making leaps and bounds learning to be a pet in his foster home, acing toilet training and becoming fast friends with the resident dog, even sharing a pet bed with him at times. With excellent loose leash manners in quiet areas, this boy hopes his future connections will continue to take him on romantic walks on the beach. Otis adores having a child companion in the home, as long as they are over nine years old, and really shows his gentle personality with his older kiddo buddies.
