On Hold
About "Frankie", The Rock Star. Melbourne
Frankie reminds us of a rock star, with his heart-throb good looks and wildly romantic personality. He’s a larrikin, whose grin-inducing talents include falling off the couch after a good stretch, or aiming to wee on an enormous tree and always managing to miss! Frankie’s an extremely loving greyhound, who loves nothing better than spending time on the couch, sleeping and cuddles.
He’s terrific at home, with excellent toilet training, sleeping through the night, but will try to steal from fridge if you leave it open. He knows the fridge has tasty food. He’s learning not to do this, but he just loves tasty treats!
Frankie is one of the ‘cuddliest’ greyhounds we have ever seen. If you are looking for someone who will just love to have cuddles, this is your Grey. He charms everyone he meets by going up to them for cuddles and the bigger the cuddle the better.
Frankie has a few specific needs: he must have a doggy friend, and needs to be an inside dog when his people leave. He isn’t a fan of being outside - he likes his comfort!
We are all so proud of the progress he’s made from his stressed out beginnings in foster care and will be the perfect dog for anyone who has lots of love to give to him. He just adores people.
Frankie would suit someone with another dog who really wants an affectionate, loving greyhound. All the love his adopter gives him, he will give back more.

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.
