Thinking about getting a dog or just want a very cute reason to take more study breaks? Four adorable greyhounds are currently looking for their forever homes through TAFE SA’s veterinary training program.
As part of their time with PETSinTuition, these retired racing greyhounds spend time on campus getting used to everyday life. From meeting new people, exploring different environments to learning the skills they’ll need to become relaxed family pets.
Now they’re ready for their next adventure: finding a home with someone who’s happy to trade a bit of couch space for a very loyal companion.
Meet the greyhounds currently up for adoption:
Age: 4 years
Sex: Male
Desexed: Yes
