On Hold
About Hey There, “Georgie” Girl. Melbourne
Georgie was born to be part of an active, loving family. At 20 months old, she’s still a puppy at heart, and loves bounding and pouncing onto her toys—or onto a human, if there’s one within reach! She always wants to be part of the action, and if you’re sitting on the couch, she’ll be beside you with her head under your arm, or trying to sit on top of you. Fortunately she’s a tiny little thing for a greyhound (only 25 kgs), so just the right size for a cuddle.
Georgie likes a run around, although a niggle from a hip injury means she can’t quite go full throttle. She walks beautifully on a loose lead, and has started to play fetch! She’s quickly learning the rules of household living, and will just give an adorably grumpy glare when she doesn’t get her way. Being young, she can be bossy, barking at her Jack Russell foster sibling to play, and sometimes getting a little mouthy. Georgie is easily overwhelmed by small dogs that she doesn’t know, so would prefer a doggy friend of a similar size. She’s unlikely to be comfortable around cats.
Georgie is great with children (six or over), and is "one of the girls" with her two young human foster sisters. More than anything else, she just wants to be part of the family, and hopes to find some fun-loving humans to grow up with and adore.

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.

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.
