Since her adoption, her integration into our home has been amazingly seamless, with next to no hiccups that normally herald the arrival of a dog into ones life (aside from the odd bit of food thievery and the destruction of a roll of paper towels).
A lot of that has to do with the serene and calm nature of a Greyhound, they're quiet and remarkably self contained animals that are as happy sleeping all day as they are tearing up a race track at breakneck speeds.
Lottie (otherwise known as the brindle rocket) has already settled into a routine and has bonded with us incredibly quickly. In fact its pretty hard to remember life without her.
If you're thinking of getting a dog, getting the right breed for your lifestyle makes a huge difference and Greyhounds should definitely be on your list of potential forever home pets.
the adoption process is actually surprisingly easy - the Greyhounds as pets page (http://greyhoundsaspets.org.nz/) details the adoption process and has profiles of some really cute Greyhounds who'd love to have a home.
Don't just take my word for it however, check out what other Greyhound owners have to say
