About Hornet. Brisbane
Hi! I'm Hornet and there is not a shred of sting in me. I am one playful, cuddly boy. And I'm pretty handsome too, being mostly black with cute white accents on my chest, toes and tip of my tail.
I am a very well-mannered fellow and a super quick learner. I've already learnt how to walk well on the leash, use the grass for my "personal" business and not wake my foster mum and dad up to early. I also know what "come" means as well as "on your bed." One of my best features is that I know "out" means "out of the kitchen" so I don't bother my foster mum when she's making my dinner or anyone else's.
I love my walks and I especially love playing fetch and tug o' war with toys in the backyard. I'm not really crazy about being by myself for long periods of time so would enjoy your company or the company of another pooch. I haven't been bothered by kids or other dogs on my walks but I haven't been officially tested yet, so I'm still waiting for my seal of approval in that regard.
I have a goofy bounce in my step that makes my foster mum laugh. I love to make her happy.

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.
During the COVID crisis, not all of our rescued Greyhounds will have the usual socialisation with other dogs so we may advise to use a muzzle in some situations until the dog is fully socialised.

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.
