About Jade. Melbourne
Young Jade is incredibly affectionate and cuddly. She has plenty of energy and would enjoy walking all day if she could. Jade enjoys expending some of her leftover energy doing zoomies up and down the hallway. Despite this energy, she is a cute little cuddle bug and loves curling up on the couch and human bed. She will even push off any human belongings that have been used as makeshift barrier. Jade’s ideal home will be one where she is allowed on the couch…. and bed!
Like many of us, Jade enjoys food and is still learning what she can and cannot eat. This includes going bench surfing. She is responding well to a stern ‘no’ in these circumstances.
Jade is still learning to walk politely on the lead around other dogs and continued work in this area is a must in her forever home. She isn’t sure about other dogs and can become grumpy if approached too closely. With time and patient introductions, Jade has been able to make friends with another dog in her extended foster family. She would enjoy being queen of her castle, on the proviso that there are humans around for her to demand pats and cuddles from.
Jade is not cat or small dog friendly and is still not sure what to do with young children.

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.
