On Hold
About "Blake", Mr Right. Melbourne
It’s almost impossible to think of a reason not to adopt Blake. Ok, your favourite shoes might start to go missing, but rest assured you’ll get them back unharmed. Your groceries might get squashed as he bounces joyfully into your car, but that’s a small price to pay for such enthusiasm! And if he occasionally forgets to lift his leg while weeing…well, no-one’s perfect, but beautiful Blake comes pretty close.
As for reasons to adopt Blake, where do we start? He has soft fur made for patting, is fairly small for a male greyhound, and has entertainingly unpredictable ears. He can sit & wait for his dinner, and bark when he needs to go outside (one bark means outside, two barks means he wants a cuddle). He lives happily with two other dogs, two children (over seven) and even a pet mouse! He doesn’t seem too interested in cats (he prefers watching the kangaroos go past the fence) but it’s too soon to say if he could live with one.
Blake will be happy anywhere where a relaxed, obedient, and loving dog will be welcomed and made part of the family. If you’re looking for the Mr Right of greyhound adoption, we believe you’ve found him!

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.
