About Melman
Hi, I’m Melman! 🐾
I’m a big, gentle boy looking for my forever human(s)! My foster parents call me Mel, Buddy, or Ringo, but mostly they just call me a total sweetheart.
My Perfect Day:
Breakfast first (the faster, the better!), then snuggles on the couch while you drink your coffee. Next, it’s time for walkies or a café visit where I can make friends with everyone in sight. During the day, I’ll be your loyal shadow, following you around and keeping you company while you work or relax. But once the sun goes down? My social battery is empty, and I’m off to my big bed for a solid night of quiet snoring.
What I’m Looking For:
- Someone who is home more often than not to hang out with me
- A home with no cats. Dog friends are great but not essential!
- A quieter household with adults or older kids (10+) because my tail wags really fast and my long legs can make me a bit clumsy!
- A big, comfy bed right inside where you are
If you want a loving adventure buddy for the day and a quiet housemate at night, Melman is ready to meet you! 💛
Medical notes
Melman has pannus and requires daily eye drops. Don't worry, he takes them like a champ!
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!
