About Raffa Melbourne
Rafa is a bit like his famous namesake – he loves to chase and catch a ball and is a natural athlete! In fact, give him any sort of toy to play with and his eyes light up and his ears start twitching. Like the famous tennis player, he’s high on energy and affability, saying hello to every human he meets.
He’s adapted well to life as an adoptee, and is now adept at climbing and descending stairs and getting out of the car. He’s even stopped hitting his head on the glass doors whilst checking himself out! Indeed, he can be a bit clumsy and is still figuring out how to move his big body around. But his big, expressive eyes and his even bigger heart are sure to win you over.
Raffa has not been tested with cats so no cat applications 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.
