On Hold
About "Lily", Meandering to Happiness. Melbourne
Our lovely Lily girl sure knows how to take it easy! Lily meanders through life with a smile on her pretty white face, and nothing much seems to bother her. She's as happy napping somewhere warm and comfy as she is going out for a stroll, and will continue dozing regardless of what's going on around her. One of her favourite places to nap is the back seat of the car, and she sometimes sneaks in for a snooze even if no-one's driving!
Lily's in foster care with three other greyhounds, although with her easy-going nature, we think she might be ok as an only dog (with plenty of love), or with other breeds. For the same reason, she'd probably be fine with children (seven or over), but we're not sure yet about cats. She's an absolute dream around the house, and gives a soft little whine when she needs to go out for a wee. Lily likes her food but doesn’t gobble, and is in good health, apart from a lump on her tummy that the vet will check out soon. She's quite an independent soul, but also very partial to a pat, and chatters her teeth when she's enjoying a cuddle.
Lily's colouring is like a black-and-white spotted cow, and there's also something cow-like in her gentle docility. Lily hopes to find a home with humans who appreciate a laid-back life – you can't help but feel relaxed with lovely Lily for company!

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.
