About Jimmy. Melbourne
Big boy Jimmy is very much a ‘people hound’. He’s incredibly affectionate, very partial to a pat and would probably walk off with random strangers if he wasn’t on a leash!
He’s also brimming with confidence and is a quick learner. Within a day, he had pretty much mastered the art of climbing stairs. Getting down was an entirely different matter however!
He’s also hyper-aware of his surroundings and frequently reacts to things on the TV or computer, as well as spotting himself in mirrors and windows. He thoroughly enjoyed watching Our Planeton Netflix and also loves interacting with statue dogs and trying to sniff their butts.
Jimmy’s a big and friendly boy who simply adores humans but is still getting used to small dogs. With his larger than life, personality, he’ll make the perfect pet.
No cat homes please as Jimmy 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.
