On Hold
About Laid Back “Jack”. Brisbane
Jack is a dog who knows what he wants. Sleeping is very important, especially in comfy places like the carpet or his crate. Walks are a must and he loves going on adventures through the local bush or the beach. He'll happily walk for up to 45 minutes but is also happy with several smaller walks each day. He walks beautifully on lead, always happy to keep pace with you.
Of course pats are essential, for as long as you’re willing to provide them (although he’ll slink off for a snooze if it gets too exhausting).
Jack also knows what he doesn’t like. He’d rather not share his space with another dog but is more than happy to be with humans who spend plenty of time at home. In his current foster home he has lots of greyhounds visiting and gets along well with them....as long as they don't try to snuggle with him! He has had many off and on lead interactions with dogs of all sizes and shapes with no problems at all. He loves having a run with them and show off his speed!
Cats are a definite no-no, and children would have to be old enough to know when to let Jack take it easy.
Jack will be happiest as an only dog with opportunities to have play dates with other dogs at times.
Jack takes sleeping and resting very seriously, always turning in several circles before lying down, and following the same stretch routine when he wakes up. He’s known for his elegant Sphinx position, as well as his less elegant habits of turning upside-down, talking in his sleep, and snoring! All Jack wants is a comfy spot to practice his favourite pastime, and plenty of love..

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.
