In November a little black bundle of stubbornness and mischief called Evie entered my life. She’s been a great match for me being slightly stubborn and mischievous myself. I was fortunate that Evie had been looked after by a lovely foster family who have been so helpful to a novice Greyhound owner. I’ve found that Evie’s preferred sleeping location, for 23 hours a day, is any piece of carpet not covered by a rug and that she has more changes of sleeping locations in a day than Bridgerton cast have costume changes in a season. And then there’s the 1…Read moreEvie

I adopted Rodney (previously known as Figs) back in October 2022. He had fur missing from his thighs and looked a bit on the thin side, however he was soon putting on weight and within 6 months was up to his current weight of 35kg. Rodney settled in within the first week or so. He enjoys his food, laying on his many inside and outside beds, tearing up the lawn with a quick zooomie and then laying down in the sandy areas, or making his own mini excavation site..! Walk time is a happy one although Rodney prefers to not…Read moreRodney

I adopted Ginger in August after saying farewell to my precious Maddie. Ginger was found abandoned and sent to Mandurah Pound. Unclaimed, GAWA rescued her, and she began her new life with her foster caregivers, Kim and Billie. They gave her a wonderful start to home life with foster boy Kai until she came to live with me. Ginger made herself right at home! Being underweight and with weak rear legs due to little muscle did not stop her from zoomies. She has continued to grow and build muscle, and she is definitely now stronger. Ginger loves her food (and…Read moreSuccess Story: Ginger, pound break girl

Simo came to me unexpectedly about 18 mths ago as an 11yr old, he urgently needed to be in a different environment.

And is often found on my bed or a couch, stretching to the sky! His mind…Read moreSuccess Story: Simo

I signed up to foster, with the hope that whichever dog we had would find their perfect home. When Penny arrived, she was very nervous, but took a liking to my husband. We woke up to her snuggled up in the middle of the bed, as close to my husband as she could possibly get. We took Penny to one of the adoption events, and couldn’t bear to put the “adopt me” vest on her – so adopted her after 11 days! For quite a while she was nervous around other people, and would flinch whenever someone tried to touch…Read moreSuccess Story: Penny

Quartz came to me unexpectedly 3 years ago as a 10yr old, and I initially said no to fostering her, as I thought I wouldn’t be able to care for her properly. As soon as she walked in the door I knew it was going to be a foster fail!She was extremely stressed and very shy but soon settled in and knew she was in a safe and loving home. Quartz loves her own company but has also been extremely accepting of other greys that have come into our house.We have helped each other out of our respective shells and…Read moreSuccess Story: Quartz
