Holden

About Holden

* Currently living in a home * Living with a cat * Toilet trained G'day! The name's Holden… like the classic Aussie icon, only a little faster (and considerably more affectionate)! I'm a tall, dark and handsome fella with a larger-than-life personality. Some might call me a larrikin, others might call me The Party Starter. Either way, I certainly know how to make an entrance! I've been enjoying the good life in foster care for the past month, sharing a home with a lovely family and their resident cat. I've settled in beautifully and have been busy showing everyone what a terrific housemate I can be. I'm a big fan of walkies and will happily let you know when I think it's time to hit the road. I'm also a fully qualified pat and ear-scratch enthusiast. In fact, if you're looking for someone to keep you company and provide endless opportunities for affection, I'm your man! I adore being around people, love my toys and am always happy to accept a treat or two. Basically, I'm a very easy fella to keep happy. Just don't keep those pats waiting! I'm also proving to be quite the domestic superstar. My toilet training is going brilliantly, I've mastered sleeping through the night (with no sleep startle, thank you very much), and I'm comfortable being left home alone for 4–6 hours without any signs of anxiety. Not bad for a bloke who's only recently discovered the joys of domestic life! I'm a good traveller in the car, although I'll need a little help getting in and out. Yes, the irony of a Holden needing a hand getting into a car hasn't escaped us either! Now, a few things worth knowing about me. Like many greyhounds, I enjoy a comfy couch, but I can become a little protective of my personal space if other animals approach while I'm up there. For this reason, I'd be best set up with my own lovely bed and a little space to call my own. I'm also occasionally a fan of concrete over grass when nature calls. A gentleman has his preferences, after all! I'm interested in meeting other dogs, but I'm still learning the ropes of pet life and would be happiest as the only dog in the household for now. As for feline friends, I've shown calm, neutral behaviour around cats during assessment, so I may be able to share my home with a cat following slow, careful introductions. When it comes to humans, I'm an equal-opportunity friend! Big people, little people, they're all potential new best mates as far as I'm concerned. I could live with children, provided they're kind, gentle and understand that even a social butterfly occasionally needs a little peace, quiet and personal space. So, if you're looking for a handsome Aussie original with a big personality, an even bigger heart and plenty of love to give, forget the test drive and head straight for the real deal! Ditch the Ford. Get yourself a Holden! Holden has showed calm neutral behaviour around cats during assessment and may suit a home with a cat after slow gradual introductions.
