About "Elle", Almost Famous. Melbourne.
Ellie is the latest in a great Australian tradition of famous Ell(i)es! Like Elle Macpherson, she has supermodel good looks, although she goes for the sleek black look instead of blonde. And like Matildas star Ellie Carpenter, our Ellie is a champion with the soccer ball! Ellie’s soccer ball is her favourite toy, and she takes it with her everywhere.
Ellie is a great all-round dog who’s chilled out most of the time, but also up for a walk or a play with her toys whenever you are. She loves being indoors being a pampered pooch (although still learning good household manners), and loves being close to her humans and showering them with affection. She adores a good cuddle, or curling up with you on the bed or the couch. She’d be great in a family with children (six or over), who can spend plenty of time soaking up her love. Ellie would be ok as an only dog with plenty of human company, or with another similarly-sized dog. She has a keen prey drive so isn’t suitable for a home with small dogs or cats.
Ellie knows that having a famous name alone isn’t enough to get her adopted, but come and meet her and you’ll discover a hundred other reasons why this girl is so adorable! And be ready for a special game of greyhound soccer while you’re there.

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.
