About “Brice”, Perfect Gentleman. Melbourne
Brice is a darling middle-aged gentleman, with the remarkable calm and soulfulness that makes older dogs so lovable. His big amber eyes may be wizened with age, and he may not be as energetic as younger greyhounds, but his devotion to his people runs deeply. Brice is a sensitive soul and a sponge for cuddles, who can get a bit sooky if he doesn’t get enough attention. That said, he’s not demanding, and can be happy by himself for a while as long as he’s had a good walk, and has a nice comfy place to relax in.
Brice enjoys a daily walk or two, preferring a gentlemanly stroll with lots of sniffing. He’s polite with other greyhounds and fine around children (six or over), although small dogs and cats are just too much for an older chap to bear. Brice is learning to come when called, and is still testing the boundaries of where he’s allowed to go, but a simple “uh-uh” or “on your mat” is enough to remind him of his manners. He’s in good health except for his worn-down teeth, which are no trouble as long as his food is soft or easily crumbled.
Of course, a gentleman must have hobbies. Brice’s include carrying his food bowl around just for fun, and inserting his whole body into the garden for a fresh, all-over fragrance. This dear older boy will bring a spark of playfulness into his forever home, along with his wonderfully calming, charming presence.

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.
