About Petra. Melbourne
Petra is a beautiful black girl with soulful eyes and a paintbrush tail. Since breaking out, she has shown her lazier side, not requiring much activity, so much so she hasn’t even quite worked out how to ‘zoomie’.
Petra is a quiet and is still learning to trust the world around her. With each day that passes in her foster home, she is becoming more confident. Petra needs a human who is willing to help her gain confidence while out on walks – sometimes new sounds can be quite startling! She has been trying her hand at being a guard dog and has known to bark through the window at visitors.
Petra loves hoarding, so much so that she frequently builds herself a little nest of things in her bed to make it as comfortable as possible! She has brought her foster family so many laughs, including the many hours it took her to work out their glass door.
Petra wouldn’t mind being a single dog and will absolutely adore being smothered in love by her human!
Petra has not been tested with cats so no cat homes 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.
