About Dora, Melbourne
Senior girl Dora’s personality certainly belies her years! She’s the most inquisitive girl. ‘Dora the Explorer’ would be an appropriate nickname. Her long nose is forever peering into cupboards and open gates during walks. And she loves to be in the thick of the action. Indeed, she’ll tag along anywhere with you - the beach, the footy, the cafe, the park, you name it!
Like any senior however, she’s totally chilled and is quite happy to squeeze herself into any Dora- sized space available on the couch. She’s impeccably well-mannered and has adjusted well to foster life, though timber floors still present the odd headache! Despite getting on well with other dogs, she’s probably best suited to being an only dog. Given her placid nature, she’d be right at home in an apartment.
The way Dora enthusiastically greets you with a wagging tail, especially at walk time, is something to behold. When she’s really excited, she breaks out into the cheesiest grin. It sums up her irresistible personality.
Dora has not been tested with cats so no cats please.

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.
