"Just a generation ago if you went near a dog when he was eating and the dog growled, somebody would say, 'Don't go near the dog when he's eating!, what are you crazy?' Now the dog gets euthanized. Back then, dogs were allowed to say, NO.
Dogs are not allowed to say no anymore...They can't get freaked out, they can't be afraid, they can never signal 'I'd rather not.'
We don't have any kind of nuance with regard to dogs expressing that they are uncomfortable, afraid, angry, or in pain, worried, or upset. If the dog is anything other than completely sunny and goofy every second, he goes from a nice dog to an 'AGGRESSIVE' dog."

High school project, so lovely. Teachers helped her laser print a hound on her box.

It’s a treat box now!

People say they can't see the English Bull Terrier in our crossbreed, Winter.

Well, clearly they need new glasses! Just look at these pics—Winter’s got the Bullterrier stance to a T. I mean, who else could pull off that level of swagger? If that’s not an English Bull Terrier, I don't know what is 😂

She also has the intelligence and the sweet nature of the breed too.

She has many greyhound traits too, especially her quirky, funny ways and she loves her naps.

We love the mix, we just have to take care of her skin. No sun baking for our girl!

Question: Aren’t big black male greyhounds hard to rehome?

Answer: Not always! It’s all about connecting with the right adopters who value temperament over size or color, and partnering with a rehoming group that truly understands each dog's personality. For Jerry and his family, it was a perfect match.

Check out his video in the comments to see how he's thriving!

Marcus is stunning! We are determined to find the perfect home for him. He is such a sweetheart, absolutely no reason for him not to have found his forever home.

Buster is on trial.

He’s still captivated by his own reflection on the TV, loves his daily walks, and enjoys a good old roach whenever he can.

Here’s hoping for the best for Buster 🖤

Winter and her training while dogs were running around next to us. What a good girl.

The trial period for Mavis is nearly up! We can’t imagine she will come back to us. What a great life our sweet girl is having.

We are blessed to have such amazing homes for such amazing dogs.

Marcus and Pepper are next in line for a quality life, that they deserve.

We can’t wait to be refreshed and ready to help others in 2025!

"It’s so frustrating when you leave your phone at home, but at least we saw Winter playing with Marble. She was absolutely amazing—I'm so proud of her!" Her recall is getting so good now, she is just a little stubborn leaving.

Winter Woo, is smart, loyal, and such a very fast learner!

Here’s a little show off for 2025!

Foster carers update: When winter first arrived, she was a force of nature—pulling me around or yanking my arm right out of its socket. From my experience over the years and taking advice from numerous dog behaviorists, I decided to keep her at home and focus on building a bond with her. Lots of time spent together in the garden made all the difference.

Now, we’re out and about, and she’s thriving! We’re so incredibly proud of her.

A quick reminder: Every overbred greyhound that ends up in a pound takes up space that could have saved dogs like Winter from being euthanised. No greyhound should ever end up in a pound—period

Winter walks so well now!

🥳 Happy New Year 🥳

As we enter the new year, we're taking a renewed and informed approach to the issues surrounding greyhounds and the Rehoming crisis in Australia.
With a clearer understanding of the challenges, we will adapt so we can continue to stay true to our beliefs and experiences.

“Responsible, ethical rehoming is the most important part of rehoming any animal”

Here’s a little snapshot of some of our greyhounds at Christmas time. Who can you spot?
