About Harry Melbourne
Harry is a beautiful, good-natured boy with a striking dairy cow patterned coat
featuring pure white and black patches. He loves a snuggle, is addicted to his
toys and is placid around kids and other dogs.
He is still however finding his feet when it comes to the sights and sounds of
urban environments. Hence, heʼs rather anxious when it comes to vehicles, loud
voices, balls, bins, doors and bikes and finds walking in the city very scary. A
patient and loving owner should work wonders. After all, when it comes to
indoor noises, he has adapted with aplomb. Vacuums, dryers and blenders have
been no problem whatsoever. Nor have stairs and steps, which he has
navigated with ease.
In the right quiet environment and with the right amount of TLC, Harry will
shine.
Harry is not cat friendly so no cat homes please.

Medical notes
Harry is on an anti-anxiety medication. After he settles in his forever home, we hope to wean him off this.
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.
