"Biscuit"

Rehomed to Jimboomba, Qld, in August 2008.  What a little honey!!!  Young biscuit was rescued from an awful, abusive owner that had answered a 'free to good home' ad for Greyhound pups. Needless to say he didn't even make it to our website's Available page before being snapped up by his foster carer.  He now lives happily with an older female Greyhound & a stream of transient foster Greyhounds.  He was a star at Puppy Preschool & will be a star 'promo' dog.

"Phoebe"

Rehomed to Upper Coomera Qld, in August 2008.  Phoebe's cruisy, affectionate nature was just what her new male companion was looking for in a dog.  Having met & liked another adopted hound (the Rock) owned by a friend of his, he knew that it was this sort of dog he wanted to make a part of his life.

Rehomed near Scone, NSW, in August 2008.  Hannah has gone to live with Token, a lazy, handsome hound rehomed earlier this year & small dog Sarah.  The devoted owners have fallen in love with Hannah's bubbly personality, charm & energy, so different from Token's laid back laziness.  A hound haven.

"Zoe"

Rehomed to Bridgeman Downs, QLD in August 2008 - Zoe, now known as Betsy, has moved in with some experienced pet greyhound owners and 2 feisty cats!  Apart from an unrehearsed dip in the pool and learning that kitties are boss, Betsy has settled in very well to with her new family, becoming a comfort-seeking missile and all- round lucky hound!
