About “Bella”, Black Beauty. Melbourne
When you see Bella’s bright eyes light up her dark face, you’ll see why we think black greyhounds are the most under-rated! Bella is clever and expressive, with her own special language for telling her humans what to do. She can ask for breakfast (whimper, circling her bowl), for a walk (whimper by the door), or for a toilet break (whimper, pacing back and forth). She also likes trying to tell her humans when it’s playtime, and gets adorably huffy if they don’t comply! Bella may like giving instructions but she’s also very gentle and sweet. She adores a cuddle, a tummy rub or a scratch on ears and neck, and always stays close by her human when she’s walking.
Like most greyhounds, Bella likes a few minutes racing around the yard, followed by a nice long nap upside-down. She’s still learning to play with toys, but plays well with other dogs, and is fine with children (six or over). We do not anticipate that Bella will be cat tolerant.
Are you ready to be captivated by this gorgeous black beauty? We don’t know yet how Bella will say “adopt me” in her special language, but we invite you to meet her and find out!

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.
