History: Johnny is another Australian boy from Greyhounds as Pets, New South Wales. He arrived in the U.S. via Canada and was transported to Dallas, arriving here on September 11, 2024. Johnny has been completely vetted. Johnny has quite the impressive pedigree! His dam is Australian, Lochinvar Amour and his sire is U.S. and Irish stud, Kinloch Brae (from the U.S., Molotov, and Irish, Fortress, lines). Johnny had a 67-race 3-year racing career, ending on June 7, 2024. He did not have to wait long for a flight to the U.S. and TAGS.
The handlers at Greyhounds as Pets said he is a loveable character that is Mr. Social and loves to give and receive affection. (The transporter verified that, saying he is quite the snuggler.) Johnny enjoys being around people but also appreciates his alone time, after which he loves to engage himself in a session with his toys. They also said one of his preferred activities includes walks to pick up the kids from school and enjoying company along the way. The handlers said if you adopt Johnny you will be gaining a loyal family member that brings along a richness of joy, love and companionship.Johnny has a beautiful lemon brindle coat and a striking appearance, with chocolate eyes. He is on the small side for a male. He is in a foster home with other Greyhounds.The transporter reported that Johnny loves to ride in the vehicle and was respectful of the other dogs. On his way to Dallas he slept most of the time.Johnny thoroughly checked out his foster home - he didn't want to miss anything. Soon he found a dog bed and chilled for a while. He and his Greyhound housemates are doing well together. He got a good night's sleep on his first night. So far, Johnny is "as advertised". We know Johnny's engaging personality will win someone over soon.
