About Dot. Melbourne
Dot is a very determined girl who hasn’t required much adjustment to foster life and gives everything a red hot go without even hesitating. She quickly taught herself how to use stairs as well as all the different comfy spots around the house, including her foster dad’s lap. Dot is a well-behaved gal, but is still learning some rules, such as only getting on the human bed if invited.
This bouncy girl is very energetic and loves playing with her toys and carrying them all around the house. She’ll even take them on walks if you let her. Dot is always keen to go for a walk, whatever the time of day.
Dot loves her humans and follows her foster parents all over the house, even if they are just going to grab something and come straight back.
Dot can be dominating, and she isn't great with other dominant dogs - male or female. She would be excellent as an only dog, as she hasn’t really relied on her foster brother for companionship.
Dot has not been tested with children. She is not small dog or cat friendly.

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.
