About Holly
There are many things that make Holly happy, her humans, walks, food, play, her foster sister, sticking her head into the couch cushions, going on possum patrol. She sees the joy in the little things, and a polite ‘donk’ of her noggin to make you pause and offer her a cuddle, she’ll very soon have you stopping to appreciate all the wonder around you too!
A crowd favourite at the farmer’s market, Holly adores making new friends (and then demanding snuggles from them), she’s a gregarious socialite who really loves physical affection and attention. While she currently lives with another female greyhound who she loves, and would happily share her space with another medium to large dog of any breed, Holly loves her people most of all and could be an only hound if she had humans around more often than not. While Holly has spent a few hours on her own without another dog, she does become unsettled - she can do a full work day with canine company but be prepared to be loved on as soon as you return!
While she looks sweet and petite, Holly is a big girl at 35kgs. Don’t let that fool you, because lapdog is an energy and not a size. Holly is well practised in the art of squeezing herself into small spaces, and has no issues with sharing a backseat or the ottoman with her foster sister.
This smoochy and inquisitive girl is a delight, to meet her is to fall in love, so don’t delay - pop in an application to adopt now!

Adoption details
Thinking about adopting?
We’d love to help you find your greyhound match!
To get started, we’ll ask for a bit of information about your home and lifestyle on our application form. This helps us make sure we match you with a dog that suits your household and sets both of you up for success.
Many greyhounds come from racing kennels where they’re used to having other dogs around. Some can struggle being left completely alone, which can lead to signs of separation anxiety like barking or chewing.
Because of this, we usually look to rehome greyhounds into homes where they’ll have company - either human or canine - and not be left alone for more than four hours on a regular basis. If that’s not your setup right now, don’t worry as we’re happy to chat about options such as dog walkers, doggy daycare, or taking your greyhound to work.
Our Adoption Checklist:
To be considered for adoption, we ask that you have:
A secure, fully fenced yard (minimum height around hip height)
A home where the dog is allowed to sleep inside at night
A routine that doesn’t leave the dog home alone regularly for long periods (more than 4 hours) without people or another dog for company
If you’re not sure whether you tick every box, please still apply! We’re happy to have a conversation and see if we have a greyhound who might be the right fit.
Please fill in as much detail as you can as there’s no word limit on any question.
