About Jimmy Jay, Melbourne
Jimmy Jay is a textbook example of a hound who’s slotted seamlessly into life in foster care. There’s been no accidents, no separation anxiety and no major misadventures. He learns commands quickly, enjoys playing with other dogs and is generally a very well-behaved young man!
A couple of brisk walks and a few zoomies each day and he's happy as Larry. In typical greyhound style, he then spends the majority of his day snoozing, lounging and nuzzling. Indeed, he’s particularly partial to a scratch behind the ears.
Though he would be quite content without a constant canine companion, Jimmy simply adores human company. Whoever’s lucky enough to adopt him will have their own semi-permanent shadow! His big brown eyes will win you over and his cheeky personality will seal the deal.
No cat homes please as Jimmy Jay 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.
