Greyhounds make "greyt" pets




Welcome to IWaG!
Greyhound Adoption, Education and Support, Queensland.
I Want A Greyhound (IWaG) Inc. is a registered not-for-profit greyhound rehoming, education and support charity.
The founders, members, volunteers and supporters of IWaG are passionate about greyhound welfare. As well as rehoming, we believe it is important to educate the wider community about greyhound welfare by building a strong, supportive greyhound-loving community and network of partners.
IWaG’s mission is to find forever pet homes for all greyhounds placed in our care.

Zac
Hound of the Month




With his beautiful heart-shaped face and a talent for leaning right into your pats, Zac is a gentle cuddle bug who is looking for someone to snuggle up to. His favourite place is beside you, preferably close enough that a belly rub is always within reach. Fluent in all things ‘pet’, Zac is an excellent house guest, having already lived in a home prior to foster care. He's toilet trained, and will chat to let you know he needs to come back inside. He travels well in the car — in fact, it’s one of his favourite activities. Sweet and soft-natured, Zac enjoys the quieter pleasures in life: a shared sofa, a snooze near his favourite people and a lovely long massage. If you’re into gardening, he’ll happily oversee operations from his bed on the back deck. He’ll leave the digging to you, he’s in charge of looking adorable. There’s a delightfully silly side to our couch potato, too. His beloved caterpillar toy brings out the spinnies, while puzzle toys and interactive games bring him busy joy. Treats make learning especially exciting, and peanut butter is firmly on his list of his Most Favourite Things. In foster care, he's participated in training classes with Train My Dog and has been enjoying his hydrotherapy sessions. Zac is also a lovely gentleman and his dream home is somewhere quiet, with limited stairs, in a calm neighbourhood, and people who enjoy having an affectionate hound close by. A family with older children may suit him. Peaceful outings are more his style than busy cafés or bustling markets — Zac is a big fan of fresh country air, and walks where there’s little to no networking with other dogs, and he can freely sniff to his hearts content. We envision Zac living as a solo dog, which would also be his preference. His future folks will be patient, supportive people who’ll help him keep learning through positive reinforcement, kindness and encouragement. Zac is firmly on team nudie naps! Blankets get the bed resignation treatment, and coats aren’t his idea of couture either — he just prefers to snooze in nothing but his birthday suit. If your sofa only has room for one gentle guy who has a lifetime of cuddles to give? Apply to adopt Zac.

Hounds in Homes

Megs
In an unexpected twist of fate, what started as a temporary fostering arrangement blossomed into a forever bond for Megs, a greyhound whose charm was too irresistible for her foster family to let go. Initially, the family had no intentions of adopting, yet Megs, with her gentle demeanour and playful spirit, quickly became an integral part of their lives. Alongside Bambie, the family's senior 13 year old dog, Megs found her place, adding youthful energy and joy to their home. The decision to officially welcome Megs into the family was cemented during a visit from relatives overseas, who saw the unmistakable connection and encouraged the family to adopt her. Born in January 2020, Megs has been on countless adventures with her family, from beach outings to trips to Bunnings, revelling in the joy of car rides and new experiences. Her first birthday with the family was celebrated with a special birthday box, a testament to their love and the many happy years ahead. Megs has also proven to be a vigilant guardian, alerting her family to the presence of a possum in the backyard with a few short barks and a growl. Her nights began in a crate, but curiosity and comfort soon led her to explore and find cozy spots next to her family members. Megs’s playful nature shines through in her love for soft toys and the excited barks she lets out when someone plays along. Despite her calm demeanour, she's known for her humorous antics, like sneakily stealing plush toys from the daughter's room, showcasing her playful and mischievous side. Her beautiful personality, a blend of calmness and fun, has made her an irreplaceable member of the family, bringing smiles and laughter to everyone around her. Her journey from a foster hound to a beloved family member highlights the unexpected paths that comes from opening one's home to a greyhound. Megs’s story is a heartwarming reminder of the deep bonds that can form between families and their foster pets, turning what might seem like a temporary arrangement into a lifelong love story.
