About Beau. Melbourne
His black eye patch might make him look a bit like a pirate, but clumsy boy Beau couldn’t be further from it! In fact, he is quite a reserved boy whose personality is still unfolding. He hasn’t quite worked out his size and loves being right under his human’s feet, which makes for a constant comedy show.
Beau may have missed his calling as an interior designer and loves to show off his pillow rearranging skills while his foster parents are out. He is particularly obsessed with one pillow, which he HAS to sleep with, and will search the house high and low before bedtime if it is not already in his bed.
Beau loves going for a stroll, but he is a couch potato and enjoys the simple pleasures, like a snooze and human company. He is content being the king of the house, as this allows him to soak up all the available pats, even from visitors. Beau likely needs a home where there is frequent human company.
Beau is not yet small dog friendly and would benefit from a forever home who are willing and able to continue his on-leash training.

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.
