Peninsula RSPCA shelter is hoping to see its personality-plus Greyhounds rehomed during a “50 Shades of Grey” adoption promotion this month.
Around 30 Greyhounds will be available for adoption at RSPCA Victoria’s Animal Care Centres for the reduced adoption fee of $50, from Monday March 19 through to Sunday March 25.
RSPCA Victoria Animal Care Manager Liz Walker said each of the dogs had their own distinct personality.
“We have excitable, attention-seeking Greys through to docile, shy gentle giants,” Ms Walker said.
Most of the Greyhounds available for adoption have completed the Greyhound Adoption Program (GAP) assessment, making them exempt from wearing a muzzle in public under current Victorian legislation.
“We work in partnership with GAP to create additional rehoming opportunities for Greyhounds and we are delighted that they have provided extra dogs to our adoption centres for this promotion,” Ms Walker said.
She said Greyhounds were intelligent, friendly dogs with a gentle and sensitive temperament.
“They are well suited to a variety of different lifestyles and homes, which is why they continue to be one of our most popular dogs among those adopting.”
“Although they are often bred for sprinting, many Greyhounds do not require excessive amounts of exercise and, after their regular walk and play time, will happily curl up in a comfy spot, often on their owner’s couch.”
“We invite those interested in adopting a Greyhound to visit one of our centres during this promotion to meet their potential new family member,” she said.
