About Buster. Melbourne
Buster is testament to the wonders of greyhound rescue. Earmarked for euthanasia, the paperwork was complete but we pleaded to take him. He’s been put through the ringer in recent times but has since thrived as a foster hound.
Though he’s a bit of a greybeard, Buster is still only 4. He’s taken to the caper like a duck to water, zooming about with his foster siblings and charming everyone he meets with his big cheeky grin. Like all greyhounds, he’s also a bit of a snooze merchant and cherishes his quiet time. He’s very sociable with other dogs, both large and small, but would be equally content on his own.
Buster is a model of good behaviour. He’s toilet trained, isn’t a barker, is a polite eater and has a lovely calm nature. He’s gentle, fit as a fiddle, extremely affectionate and impeccably mannered. Get in touch if you can picture him on your coach, suggesting a tummy rub!
Buster has not been tested with cats.

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.
