Happy Tails Georgia (Greta) has been adopted on Vancouver Island!

Greta Update – March 11, 2024

Some matches are not meant to be, so Greta is again looking for her forever home.

Greta is a lively and affectionate puppy who loves to play and snuggle. She needs a home that can provide her with plenty of exercise, space and stimulation, as she is part kelpie, a breed known for their intelligence and energy. Greta is still young and eager to learn, so you can teach her how to behave and have fun with her. Do you think you can handle this adorable bundle of joy???

=======================================

Greta is an adorable Greyhound x Lab/Kelpie lurcher puppy born around December 1, 2023.

Greta came to NCGL with her four siblings from Northern Alberta.  A kind lady took them in when she was worried about their wellbeing, she contacted NCGL with hopes we could help find him a great home and here we are!  Greta and her siblings will need to be fully vetted so if you’d like to donate to their care, we would greatly appreciate it!

Greta is the sweetest, snuggliest, adventurous and independent little fire cracker She, will run into a situation with no fear, climb up hills, leap off, run through deep snow, bark at & try to chase anything little and furry. Afterwards she will come inside and will slowly crawl into your lap for snuggles and loves. She will wrestle and play with her sister and handles her overly rough play. She usually hangs back and lets her sister have everything first. She has seen a cat but hasn’t been side by side yet. She respects a senior chihuahua cross telling het to stay away. Caged animals are a toy in her eyes. House training is going well. She is prompt to do her business outside, however does still have accidents. Crate training is also going well. She eats in her crate, will nap, and will not mess in her kennel. Overnights are getting better. We do bedtime at 10pm in kennel after outside time, currently needs to go out 1-2am for a quick potty, then out again 6-7am and ready to start the day. She would love to be in a active/dog sport home that also loves to just chill at home.

Greyhound puppies are a lot of work and are not for the feint of heart!  They need someone who’s home at least every four hours to play with them and let them out for potty.  They need someone patient who will teach them how to be awesome and friendly dogs with lots of love and kindness.  They will wreck your things, they will chew on your furniture and they will love you with every fiber of their being!  These puppies will not turn into lazy retired racers.  They need someone who’s willing to do multiple long walks every day and keep them stimulated and occupied!  This mix would probably make a great running partner or do well in fly ball, Frisbee, agility and other dog sports.  They’re going to be very active and smart!

If you think you’re the right home for Greta, please fill out and application and send it into adopt@ncgl.ca

These puppies will need three sets of vaccinations, worming and a microchip covered by NCGL. NCGL does not alter young puppies due to health concerns, but does require that all puppies adopted through NCGL are taken to a vet of our choice before their 1st birthday to be spayed/neutered at our expense, failure to do so will result in the puppy coming back to NCGL.  All other vet and care expenses will be the responsibility of the adoptive family during that time.

Greta is currently being fostered in Calgary, Alberta
