On Hold
About "Alphie", Friends in High Places. Melbourne
They say every dog has its day, but not every dog gets to meet the State Premier! Mr Alphie Grey is in foster care at the level crossing removal site office at Alphington (hence his name), and just happened to be at work when the Premier dropped by! Alphie wanted to give the Premier one of his signature bear-hugs, when he stands on his hind legs and wraps his front legs around you, but fortunately he settled for a pat.
Despite his famous connections, Alphie's a down-to-earth sort of guy. In the office, he's happy to put on a hi-vis vest and get down to work with his humans. Alphie's working day typically involves a good long snooze, with a few pauses for cuddles and playtime to entertain his colleagues when they're ready for a break. Alphie's a team player who gets on with people and other dogs – as long as they're low-key like him. He's good with kids but not sure yet about cats (not many to meet on the building site!)
Alphie has fitted in so easily (notwithstanding a puddle or two when he's been stuck inside), it's hard to imagine how the project will ever get done without him, but his foster friends and colleagues are ready for him to go home. We hope the next important visitor Alphie gets will be the human who'll love him forever – the most special VIP of all!

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.
