About “Jack” the Ripper Dog. Melbourne
We know it sounds corny, but Jack is a ripper! This boy has just the right amount of playfulness, handsomeness, and general adorableness to make him worthy of the nickname. Of course, there’s not a mean bone in his body, and he’s more a master cuddler than a master criminal. Jack’s hobbies include saying hello to people on the street, chattering his teeth when he’s getting a cuddle, or nibbling gently on his greyhound foster sister’s neck and licking her ears.
Jack adores his walks, and currently gets two 20-30 minute walks a day (but could do even more, if you’re willing). He’s made great progress walking nicely on the lead and staying calm around loud noises, and is getting more confident around other dogs. Jack seems fine by himself with a treat to keep him busy, although so far he’s always had his foster sister there too. He could be ok as an only dog, but would also appreciate another large dog for company. He’s a tall, bouncy boy, so better for teenagers than young children, and not ok with cats. Jack’s relaxed indoors – and learning to use a doggy door – except when it’s dinner time, which is almost as exciting as going for a walk!
Jack’s stunning to look at, with his Egyptian Pharoah "eyeliner" and tawny white-gold coat. His super-long snoot is extra-cute too, and his gentle face is always smiling. If you’re looking for all-round ripper of a dog, then Jack’s your boy.

Adoption details
Dogs are pack animals and Greyhounds, in particular, are very familiar with being surrounded by other dogs in their racing kennel environment. For this reason, when left alone without people or other dogs for company, they can be prone to separation anxiety which can manifest in destructive and/or noisy behaviour. Yes, they may "grow out" of it after a few weeks in their new home, but why put the dog through that stress to ultimately live all day alone, while everyone is at work? As a result we do not rehome dogs into households where they are left on their own for more than 4 hours per day, without either people or another dog for company.

Following your initial application, we conduct a home check. Our dogs are placed on a two week trial. The adoption fee is paid at time of placement and reimbursed if the trial is unsuccessful.
After the trial period is deemed successful, the adoption process is finalised.
