About “Rosie”, Big-Hearted Toy Boss. Melbourne
Rosie is a beautiful, independent girl who is incredibly loving. She is a smart and happy with a stubborn streak! Rosie’s single-minded nature can be very entertaining…like when she is determined to get every bit of food from a kong.
She can also turn into a marshmallow at a moment’s notice, with her soft fur, super-soft ears, and zen-like calm when she’s getting a cuddle. Rosie loves back scratches more than anything in the whole world – she will go into spasms of delight for a back scratch and do a little dance.
Rosie is well behaved on leash. She is very responsive to food and as a result is quick to learn when treats are involved. She can obey several commands (like staying out of the kitchen) and is very eager to please her humans.
Rosie is sociable with other dogs, although off leash running dogs are still a bit exciting and she is quickly learning how to behave around them. She is likely to be fine as an only dog (provided she has plenty of human company during the day) or with another dog who will let her lead the pack where toys and treats are involved.
At heart, Rosie is very loyal and completely devoted to her humans. She’ll always greet you at the door and often puts her head upside-down in between your knees for a head scratch, staying that way until you stop. Rosie might like to be the toy boss, but she’s the sweetest and most lovable boss you’ll ever answer to!

Medical notes
All our dogs are desexed, vaccinated, wormed, flea treated and microchipped.
Rosie has an eye condition that afflicts greyhounds, called Pannus, which if left untreated can eventually make them blind. It is very easily managed and requires daily eye drops, which she takes in her stride.
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.
