About Annie. Melbourne
Much like a fine wine, Annie is an aging beauty. She is medium sized, with a white spotty chest and three little white socks. Her distinguished face matches her amazing personality – whilst she knows what she wants and is sometimes a bit stubborn, she is incredibly sweet and very gentle! In foster care, Annie has enjoyed pre-walk zoomies, picking the hidden vegetables out of her meals and playing fetch with her tennis ball. She is a quick learner when it comes to stairs, going to bed and eating.
Annie’s ideal home will be a home with a backyard, as she truly is an inquisitive soul and loves to go on sniffari. She also has a lot of energy in the afternoons and loves to run around.
Annie will need a canine companion, but is happy if her parents leave for a couple of hours.
Annie’s uncontrollable happy chatters are her foster parent’s favourite thing.
Annie is still learning not to freeze on walks and has been walking more confidently since her foster brother joined her.
Annie is not cat friendly. No small dog applications please.

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.
During the COVID crisis, not all of our rescued Greyhounds will have the usual socialisation with other dogs so we may advise to use a muzzle in some situations until the dog is fully socialised.

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.
