![[WA] Greyhound Adoptions $75 (Usually $350) @ Greyhounds as Pets WA on National Adoption Day](https://files.ozbargain.com.au/n/18/450118.jpg?h=2e3201ed)
Do you know that we have a special adoption price of $75 for dogs adopted on our National Adoption Day? Since we do focus on matching dogs to certain households we would need anyone wishing to adopt a dog to fill in an application at https://www.greyhoundsaspets.com.au/application/ prior to attending. This way we can match your application to one of our four categories of dogs available on the day (most would have been in foster care in similar home situations). 🐶❤️🏠👨👩👧👦
We look forward to receiving your registrations. Unfortunately we will not have any cat tolerant dogs available on the day.
I knew a guy who took in a greyhound. He got it from a greyhound racing trainer. Unfortunately, it developed a twisted stomach that required a large amount of money to fix and his family had to save up for it. This included things like his son getting a bad haircut from a pimply-faced barber, his daughter not getting a current edition of a book on Copernicus, his wife not buying her regular lottery ticket in which she would have won with her usual numbers. Worst of all, he had to go without drinking beer. So, while they had a healthy dog, this created resentment in the family and his son even called the greyhound a "dumb dog".
It was a sad day when the dog ran away from their home and into the arms of the local billionaire who trained it as an attack dog (poke-ah-poke-ah). Even though the family were had been initially angry at the dog, they were now sad to have lost it, and put up fliers asking people if they had seen their lost dog. As an aside, it was difficult for the wife to find an appropriate picture of the dog.
One fateful day, the son was out searching for the dog and chanced upon it on the billionaire's property. When he called out to it, the dog just snarled and ran at him. The son, now frightened, asked the dog if it recognised him. No luck. Just as the dog was pouncing for attack, the boy told it "I love you, boy". Miraculously, this snapped the dog out of it's Clockwork Orange-like training mindset and reminded the dog of better days. Not only did it lick the boy's face, but it warded off the other attack dogs.
When the dog was finally reunited with the family, they couldn't stop petting it. In an odd moment, the wife suggested her husband pet the cat instead, to which he replied "Pet the cat? What's the point?"
Good times.
