About Roo
Roo is a lovable, goofy big boy with a heart of gold. Affectionately known as "Fatty", "Big Boy" or "Horsey", he loves being close to his people and is happiest when he's getting cuddles, kisses, and companionship. Roo enjoys daily walks and has short bursts of playful energy, but is otherwise content relaxing by your side.
His ideal home is with someone who is around most of the time and can provide patience, consistency, and plenty of love. Roo has been around children aged 12 and up and would suit a calm household that understands his enthusiasm. He can get excited when people arrive home and may jump up to say hello, but he responds well to gentle, firm guidance.
A perfect day for Roo includes a nice 30-minute walk, spending time with his favourite humans, and enjoying a long-lasting chew treat. Sweet, loyal and endlessly endearing, Roo is a beautiful dog who just wants to be part of the family. ❤️🐶

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!
