Doc

SEEKING A SPECIAL HOME

To strangers Doc appears to be a mild mannered accountant with a firm handshake. To those that know him he's actually James Bond; the ultimate gentleman, confident, charming, with a cheeky gleam in his eye.

Doc has been recently diagnosed with Grade 1 Intervertebral Disc Disease - not that you'd be able to tell by the spring in his step. This is this most common spinal disease in dogs and is age related, he is not currently on any pain medication and management of his condition through a relaxed lifestyle at home means he has resumed a normal life of a retired racer.

What we are looking for in a new home for Doc is to continute the life of leisure he's become accustomed to in foster. To help alleviate pressure on his neck he would like to have his food and water bowls elevated, and the odd meandering sniffy walk around the block wearning a harness (rather than adrenaline fuelled rabbit chasing or being a hooligan at the dog park).

Doc is currently in a foster home in Auckland living with a miniature pinscher x chihuahua who matches Doc's tenacity. Even though he's an old boy Doc is certainly no pushover! He has also lived in a foster with other greyhounds, a pitbull, and been an only child.

He's more than happy holding down the fort while you're at work and will sleep the day away on his special blanket in the yard, he is an expert home office companion, is partial to a cafe visit, and will happily work his charm on your guests. He's gentle in how he greets people and walks like a dream. He's a low maintenance creature and entertaining to have around.

No cats please.
