About Jet. Melbourne
Jet is a beautiful, whip smart boy with eyes that radiate love. Watching TV with his head rested in his favourite human’s lap is his idea of absolute heaven.
But he’s done things tough over the past few years. Following his racing career, he arrived in a highly anxious state and in serious need of TLC. As a result, he is reliant on medication, as well as a patient owner willing to commit to further training. He’ll also need a private garden or courtyard, so he’s not suitable for apartment living. And he definitely needs a dog savvy owner, who will help him gain confidence around strange dogs, as well as greyhound brother or sister.
Don’t let any of that deter you. Jet is one of the most affectionate and loving greyhounds we have ever come across. Few dogs love cuddles more. Few dogs learn so quickly. And few dogs love people more. He’s a one-in-a-million dog looking for an equally special owner.
Jet 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.
