About “Jacko”, Gentleman Weirdo, Mildura
Hi, I’m Jacko, and I’d like to give you a lesson on greyhound psychology.
Firstly, did you know that greyhounds are absolute gentlemen? I’m an excellent example – I laze around most of the time, walk nicely on the lead, go to the toilet outside, and happily accommodate all five other dogs in my foster home. I have met cats, chooks and ducks and am just a little wayyyy too interested in chasing them to be able to live with them. I just want to be with my humans, throw my toys around (gently, of course), or snooze the day away on a comfy mattress.
Secondly, did you know that greyhounds are weird? That’s right – we do a million little things that don’t make much sense to humans. For me, I like snoozing on the lino next to my bed, with my head on it as a pillow. I also like to bat my head against you until you pat me, curl my lip like a snarl when I’m smiling, and I absolutely love it when someone plays my rib cage like a harp.
Lastly, did you know that greyhounds are irresistible? Once you experience the joys of ear scratches, tail wags, zoomies and soulful brown eyes, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without one. And that one could be me! Come and meet me – I’m the smiling gentleman in the soft fur tuxedo, waiting to be your loyal friend.

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.
