About Robbo
Are you struggling to meet new people? A little short on friends? Do you suffer from social anxiety?
WELL! Have we got the solution for you - Fat Papa G is in da hoooooouse!
Introducing Robbo, Mr Papagiorgio, Big Papa, Fat Papa G, the George Clooney of the greyhound world. This guy invented the ice breaker and he is smooooooth.
If he spots a human, any human, his face lights up, he gets a spring in his step and his tail becomes an enormous windmill propelling him towards them.
The first thing you notice about this guy, though is that he’s handsome. He’s a strong, well-built, thick set, red brindle stud. His silver face is misleading as he has the enthusiasm of a much younger dog, you just wouldn’t pick that he is almost 9.
Robbo is one keen bean. Keen for a walk, keen for a nap, keen for a cuddle and super keen for a meal. Food is life and naps are sacred.
Mr Papagiorgio is a little bit too keen on cats, possums and other small fluffy and feathery critters but is king of the ‘puppy pile’. So a house with another medium to large dog is ideal as he adores a snuggle. Not just anyone can join the puppy pile, you have to earn your spot so any human hanging with Big Papa G needs to speak dog.
He’s the rugged outdoorsy type too so bonus points if you’ve got a doggy door and a backyard!
Please get in contact with Greyhound Connections www.greyhoundconnections.com.au if you would like to meet or are interested in hearing more about Robbo.

Adoption details
STEP 1 - The Conversation
Fill out the adoption enquiry form on our website and tell us about the type of greyhound you think will suit you and your family, or if you've already found a greyhound that has caught your eye. We aim to get the match right for both your sake and that of the greyhound, so please include as much detail as possible in your enquiry. Just like people, every greyhound is unique. Following receipt of your enquiry form, a volunteer from Greyhound Connections will contact you to chat about the greyhounds we have for adoption that may be suitable, or the greyhound that has caught your eye.
STEP 2 - The Meet 'n' Greet
Once we have found a greyhound that might be a good match we will contact you to arrange an obligation-free meet 'n' greet. This might be at your house or at a place where the greyhound is currently living, or in a public place such as a park or cafe. You will get a chance to meet the dog in person and ask any further questions you may have. If you are feeling confident about the greyhound, we will talk about arranging a trial.
STEP 3 - The Trial
To ensure the fit is right for both your family and the greyhound, we recommend a three week trial. This will help you to see if you and the greyhound settle in together, and become accustomed to each other's behaviours. We will provide you with our Adoption Handbook that provides you with lots of vital greyhound-related information and all of your greyhound's personal details. You will be encouraged to contact us and the breeder, trainer or owner if you have any questions or concerns through the trial period. We will be here to support you and the greyhound all the way, and love to hear how the greyhound is settling in.
STEP 4 - The Adoption
Following a successful trial, we will work with you to finalise the adoption of your new family member. This includes signing our adoption form, registering the greyhound under your name with your local animal services authority and providing proof of this, and your payment of the adoption fee.
