About Ruby
Meet Ruby! Affectionately known as Rubes, Roob or Rooibos (like the tea) by her foster family, Ruby is a big snoozer. Ruby is a lovely lady of leisure who truly appreciates the finer, quieter moments in life - she loves nothing more than lounging indoors, relishing in the comfort of home.
At first, Ruby may appear shy and aloof, but give her a little time to settle in, and her charming, cheeky side will emerge. Whether she’s gazing at you with those soulful eyes in hopes of a taste of your roast chicken or pressing her bum into you for a satisfying scratch, Ruby’s quirks are sure to win you over. When you hit the perfect spot for a butt scratch, watch for her adorable little side-step dance!
A leisurely twenty minute walk once per day is all she needs. She sometimes enjoys a cheeky sunbake for 10 minutes outside, but she is happiest snuggled indoors – so access to inside throughout the day, especially if she is alone is a must. Ruby is not your typical 'velcro dog', but she would love a family who is home more often than not to keep her company. She will occasionally pop by for a pat before returning to her beloved bed, always content with simply knowing her human is nearby.
Ruby is quite sensitive to loud noises and sudden movements, making a home without small children ideal. She would thrive in a peaceful apartment or unit on a quiet street. Ruby would be perfectly happy as either the sole recipient of your love or coexisting with a relaxed dog of any size for companionship.
If you’re seeking a serene and loving companion to share your tranquil space, Ruby is ready to settle into a quiet and nurturing home. Her love for leisure blended with her gentle affection makes her the ideal partner for anyone seeking a little peace and a lot of love in their life.

Adoption details
STEP 1 – ENQUIRE & EOI FORM:
greytgreys.org/adopt/apply
If the greyhound you have applied for is unavailable or unsuitable, we can match you with a suitable greyhound. We may have a hound in foster care who might be well suited to your family.
STEP 2 – LET'S CHAT:
We'll phone you to discuss suitability, clarify any points of your application and chat process and next steps.
STEP 3 – HOUSE CHECK & MEET + GREET:
We'll come to you! The meet + greet is conducted at the same time that a house check is carried out. The meet + greet is the day that your newly adopted greyhound will be able to stay on with you.
Our adoption fee is $375.00 and must be paid before the meet + greet, and prior to starting your 3 week trial. Support from our team is freely available. If you have any issues, we urge you to contact us to try and work through them, as all rescue greyhounds have some period of adjustment.
If after the 3 week trial, you feel that you need to return the greyhound, we will refund your adoption fee (less a $50 administration fee), upon return of the dog and all paperwork and other items that the dog was adopted with.
All of our hounds are adopted out with the following:
> Collar, lead & coat
> Certificate of sterilisation & vaccination
> Flea & worm treated
> Care information for your newly adopted greyhound
> Access to our private Facebook page for foster carers, volunteers and adopters of our hounds. A community with invaluable advice and support!
