That’s because they have so much going for them, according to Kingsgrove greyhound owner Sharna Campbell.
Adopting ‘Tia Maria’ a year ago, she said it was one of the best decisions she’s made as greyhounds are so affectionate by nature, as clean as a cat and very low maintenance.
She said they shed very little, carry next to no doggie odour and with no undercoat are less likely to trigger allergies.
“I live in a unit but that’s fine for my dog, we go for a 20-minute walk every day and that’s enough for her,” Sharna said.
“She sleeps quite a lot, as all greyhounds do, so they are the perfect for house or unit living and she rarely barks.”
When adopting with GAPNSW (Greyhounds As Pets), an expert greyhound team is just a phone call away if you need any advice or support.
Adoption costs for GAP Greyhounds are $250, and includes a dog that is vet-checked, vaccinated, microchipped, desexed, intestinally wormed, heart-worm treated and lifetime registered with the council
