Our pets

Dogs (1)

Rocco, 37kg greyhound
6 months out of the racing system/kennels.
Requires an early morning and evening walk, each around 20-30minutes. Requires feeding morning and night on a particular diet. And someone that can be around for at least a few hours a day (he finds comfort in being around his humans). He enjoys a lot of relaxation and sleeps anywhere between 12-18 hours a day, but is more settled with his humans around.
Successful applicant will have experience with caring for greyhounds and have a good knowledge of the breed.
