About Samuel. Melbourne
Sammy is a gentle giant, with expressive eyes and perky little ears. Whilst he is fully of energy, he has an affectionate side and loves a snuggle. Two of his favourite times are breakfast and dinner, where he will get so excited he spins in circles!
Sammy is an incredibly active boy. He loves his toys, does multiple zoomies a day and always wants to play with other dogs he meets. We think he would really love to live in a home with a backyard big enough for his zooms. Sammy would also benefit from humans who are active, morning people, as he loves to bound in and say hello in the mornings! He loves his walks and is great on the lead, he also knows these times are for toileting!
Sammy loves his humans and can be a bit of a shadow. He hasn’t spent much time alone due to the current situation, but we do think he will benefit from having a four legged friend. Sammy misses his parents at night and has been known to cry at night.
Sammy’s foster carers think he is just wonderful and hope he can find a family who can give him the time he deserves. He is a clever boy who understands ‘no’, ‘wait’ (at feeding time) and is learning ‘on your bed’ and ‘come’.
Sammy has not yet had the chance to meet children or cats properly. No cat or small dog 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.
