Fern
Additional Adoption Fee Information
GALT is charging an adoption fee of $750 for Australian retired racing greyhounds 7 years and younger and $650 for those 8 and over.
The Australian greyhounds arrive to us spayed or neutered with current rabies vaccinations. The transportation cost averages $1,620 per dog, and GALT spends another approximately $400 for CBC blood work with heartworm test, Protatek testing, dental and vaccinations required for this environment.
For its almost 22 years in existence, GALT has operated as a 501 (c) 3 Corporation. The Australian retired racers’ adoption fee correlates to this policy.
This hound’s adoption fee is: $750
Fern is a beautiful white with symmetrical blue markings, born November 25, 2021. Her sire is Zipping Garth and her dam is Sapphire Sandy. Fern ran 43 races at various tracks in Australia before fracturing bones in her paw in May 2024 – she is now healed and looking for her forever home.
Introducing the beautiful Fern! This gorgeous girl is a bundle of confidence, affection, and positive energy. From the moment she steps into a new environment, Fern’s tail wags with excitement as she zooms around, ready to explore. She’s the kind of pup who loves being around people and soaking up all the attention—whether it’s walks, cuddles, or the occasional snack (which she totally deserves!). Fern gets along well with bigger dogs and would benefit from some additional exposure to smaller breeds. She’s an active girl and would thrive in a home with a backyard where she can burn off some energy. While Fern is OK being left alone for a few hours, she’ll need some gradual adjustment if longer periods are required. If you’re looking for a joyful, affectionate companion to brighten your days, Fern is ready to be your best friend!
