On Hold
About “Jenko”, Lively and Lovable. Melbourne.
What does a boy have to do, to get himself adopted? Jenko is doing everything he can to find a forever home. He’s very well-behaved in foster care, toilet-trained, and no trouble to walk (unless he sees a cat, which is too exciting). He’s been charming to everyone he meets at our market stall, and is especially fond of children (as long as they’re old enough to manage a big dog). He even had a celebrity endorsement from his namesake, TV star Kate Jenkinson! But although everyone who meets him thinks he’s absolutely lovely, nobody has stepped forward to give Jenko a home.
Jenko has so much to offer his forever family. At two years old, he’s full of life, and loves his two daily walks and his bursts of playtime, followed by a nap of course. He’s just the right height to be patted without bending over, and will happily absorb all the cuddles he can get. Jenko gets on well with his canine foster sibling, and sleeps nicely through the night next to his foster carers’ bed. He can get a little worried if he’s all by himself, but that’s just because he loves his people so devotedly.
We can only think of one explanation why he hasn’t found his forever home…that special person with a Jenko-sized space in their heart is still out there somewhere. Could it be you?

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.
