About Herbie. Melbourne
Herbie is a tall boy, who is white with a couple of big black patches. He’s got a cute spotty belly and he is now growing some hair on his back legs and is looking exceptionally handsome!
Herbie loves humans, food, pats, food, walks, food, naps and sneaking onto the human bed when no one is watching.
Herbie isn’t particularly energetic, but he does love going our for his walks, especially when he is joined by his greyhound neighbour. He has a poorly front shoulder and sometimes mis-steps when nearing the end of his walk – this doesn’t cause him pain. Post walk, he will happily sleep his day away, only raising his head for a quick treat break.
Herbie loves his humans and has adapted to his life in foster care with ease. He has learnt many things so far, including how to ride in a lift, that peeing in the lobby isn’t cool and that he has to ‘wait’ before crossing the road.
Herbie is still unsure about some things, like the washing machine and is much happier without access to it.
Herbie is yet to meet a small human.
Anna has not been cat tested, so no applications with cats or small dogs 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.
