DD has been desexed, microchipped, flea, tick and worm treated, vaccinated and heartworm tested negative.
DD is new to everything and still quite skittish around sudden or loud noises, and has taken a little while for his personality to come out. He's very friendly, always wants to see what you're up to as he's very inquisitive (he's a shadow) and gets very excited to see you when you get home. He loves his zoomie time and walks and would suit someone who has the time to walk him regularly as he gets bored without stimulation and does chew toys and clothes/shoes if left unattended. He'd be great with kids, but not little ones because he gets too excited. Loves his food and treats, walks well on lead.
DD comes to you with a new martingale collar and winter jacket.
Meet DD (Detrie Bale): Your New Best Friend Awaits!
Meet DD, whose racing name was Detrie Bale, a beautiful Greyhound born on May 1, 2021. This handsome hound is eager for a new family to love and cherish. As he is a large dog, an appropriate setup with dog-proof fencing is essential. DD is located in Cairns and has been desexed, microchipped, flea, tick and worm treated, vaccinated, and has tested negative for heartworm.
DD is a friendly, curious, and intelligent boy who's always interested in what you're up to. His inquisitive nature means he will often act as your little shadow, keeping you company throughout the day. Although he can be skittish around sudden or loud noises, don’t let that deter you. Give him a little time and his loving personality shines through, especially when he gets excited to see you when you come home.
Despite being a retired racer, DD is still full of energy and loves his "zoomies" and walks. He requires regular exercise to keep him stimulated and happy. If he doesn't receive the needed stimulation, he might resort to chewing toys or your belongings. Because of his playful exuberance, he would do better in a home without small children, but he adores kids and would thrive in a family setting. DD also walks well on a lead and is a fan of tasty treats, making training a joy.
Though currently not tested with cats and other animals like birds, DD is friendly with other dogs. He comes with a stylish martingale collar and a cozy winter jacket to keep him warm during cooler months.
Please note, in our efforts to protect wildlife and ensure the safety of our cats and dogs, we only offer our pets to appropriate environments. You can read our guidelines and apply to adopt DD via our provided links. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us at arcatd21@gmail.com.
Open up your heart and home to this extraordinary Greyhound, and you’ll find a loyal companion brimming with love and excitement.

Meet Conno – Your New Best Friend
Conno, also known by her racing name "Kevin's Girl," is an absolutely delightful Greyhound who is now available for adoption. With a DOB of 04.03.2020, Conno has matured into a medium-sized bundle of affection, style, and grace. Her striking appearance is complemented by a temperament that is simply to die for. Residing in Cairns, she has seamlessly adapted to her foster home, showing exceptional social skills with humans, dogs, and even the resident cat.

She adores everyone she meets, whether they're adults, kids, or fellow pets, making her a perfect fit for a family-oriented household or someone seeking a loyal and affectionate companion. Conno is house-trained and enjoys a structured but fun daily routine filled with exercise, love, and care. Her lively spirit shines during playtime, but she's equally content when she's snuggled up with her favorite humans, basking in their affection.
One important thing to note about Conno is her diagnosis of Pannus, an eye condition that is being successfully managed with daily eye drops.

Her previous owner committed to covering her treatment costs for the rest of her life, so she's all set to enjoy a long, happy, and healthy journey with her new family.
Conno will join you with her stylish martingale collar and a cozy winter jacket, ready to become a part of your loving home. With dog-proof fencing at your property, you'll find this beautiful girl roaming happily and safely.

Sara has been desexed, microchipped, flea, tick and worm treated, vaccinated and heartworm tested negative.
Meet Sara, often known by her racing name, "No Billy Tea." Sara is an incredibly sweet blue Greyhound with a heart full of love and a spirit that won't let anything slow her down. She recently retired after an injury necessitated the amputation of her front right leg, but you'd never know it by watching her frolic and play. Despite her injury, she is living life to the fullest, proving that resilience truly knows no bounds.
Sara is gentle and quiet, exuding the calm demeanor that Greyhounds are known for. She's great with other dogs and is even learning to coexist peacefully with cats in her foster home. She's received all necessary care to ensure she is happy and healthy, including being desexed, microchipped, flea, tick, and worm treated, vaccinated, and heartworm tested negative.
One of Sara's most endearing qualities is her ability to keep up with a joyful, active life. She loves playtime and enjoys being surrounded by love and positivity. Her calm nature makes her a perfect fit for families with children, and she adapts well to households with other pets. She's fully house-trained and adapts quickly to new routines.
As Sara moves to her new home, she comes well-prepared with a new coat and a martingale collar, setting her up for a seamless transition into your life. Her adoptive family should have dog-proof fencing to ensure her safety and create the perfect environment for her adventures.
If you're ready to bring an incredibly affectionate, playful, and adaptable dog into your home, Sara may be the perfect fit. Adopting this beautiful Greyhound is not just about giving her a new family; it's about adding an exceptional, resilient companion to yours.
For more details or to apply to adopt Sara, please refer to the provided adoption links and guidelines. Let Sara's zest for life and her tender heart add joy and warmth to your home.
Medical notes
Sara has one front leg amputated which may lead to arthritis in later life due to the weight bearing on one front leg. We would recommend the ongoing use of Technyflex to assist.

This is Leroy. Leroy is a big dufus. He's big, he's clumsy and hilarious. He always seems to have his big snozz in the way!
Because of his size and his energy, Leroy would be better suited to an active household with older children/teenagers. He is unlikely to be suitable for a home with cats.
We can help with transport if needed.

This is Summer, a mature lady looking for her forever home. Summer is 7 years old, has a very laid back nature, and requires very little exercise at all. She is happy to lay around sleeping all day, but she is also happy to go for a walk if you feel like it, and especially loves to ride in the car. Summer loves children, and plenty of hugs and pats. She also has no issues with prams, bikes, scooters, bells, and other dogs. Summer would suit anyone that doesn’t want to run a marathon. Single, retired couple or family, someone suffering anxiety or depression, she’d make the perfect addition. Summer comes desexed, vaccinated, teeth cleaned and vet checked.

ABOUT JASON
When it comes to describing Jason, we can't think of a better phrase than "the perfect pet Greyhound". Jason has the most gentle nature, gets on really well with all dogs, small to large and is even cat friendly. He's only a young lad, so a little bit over enthusiastic about being alive but very easily calmed. Most Greyhounds look stunning when they're alert but this boy has the wow factor. In fact he reminds us of a Friesian stallion when something attracts his attention and he stands stretching his lovely long neck as high as he can so as not to miss anything. He's just so beautiful both in nature and to look at. We feel he would be OK with children although, because of his size, maybe he would overwhelm littlies. But, he definitely would benefit from being with a family with savvy kids and other pets as he adores having company and someone to be following right behind. Velcro dog when you're with him, but not anxious if you're not. He's going to make some lucky family a wonderful companion dog. Jason will come to his new home with a new coat and martingale collar.

Meet Maggie, our petite 2 year old greyhound. Maggie is a beautiful girl who loves her foster brother Duke. Maggie loves her toy’s and has been learning to play with Duke instead of stealing them and running away, as she did in the early days.
When Maggie first arrived she was very protective over her toys but being with Duke, she has learnt to share and now often swaps toys and even beds.
Maggie doesn’t resource guard her food bowl at all and she is not a fussy eater.
High value treats such as long lasting bully sticks, bones or pigs ears etc she may, so an allocated area where she can be left in peace to enjoy, would be perfect (crate) she has only ever done this once, while in our care and it was over a very high value treat (a long lasting chew) This is something you would need to understand, incase she regresses and does it again (We can discuss a management plan, if she does, it’s pretty easy to manage)
Maggie would be happier in a garden, she loves to zoomie and play with her toys in the sunshine. She is fun to watch and such a happy girl!
Maggie is social, great with most dogs. She gets on extremely well with our Duke, so matching this dynamic would be lovely. They are a laugh a minute together!
Maggie enjoys running and has been to several greyhound meetups, where she has been so well behaved.
Maggie’s Ideal home would be a greyhound loving home and an owner who meets up with other houndie friends.
Maggie has never had an accident in the home and is beautifully toilet trained. She will go out by herself or if the door is closed she will let you know.
Maggie and Duke keep each other company and once their carer leaves the house, they can be seen playing on the camera and then both snoozing on their beds, so no seperation anxiety at all.
Maggie sleeps right through the night, no noise during the night and is a happy girl in the morning.
Maggie walks well on the leash.
.
My Needs
➕ Medium to big garden.
➕ Ok as only dog but would be great if her owners socialised her with other houndies. Good with another dog, the dynamic needs to be right though.
➕ Active owners, bush walkers, nature lovers and beaches.
➕ No small children
➕ No pocket Pets
If you would like to meet Maggie please apply here. Please read her profile properly so that we match make to the best fit and home.
