About Lassie. Brisbane
Yes, I’m regal and gorgeous and I know it but I’m still very humble as well as incredibly loving and huggable. I’ll lean on you to show you just how much I want to be with you. I love being around my humans the best but also find enjoyment in lying on the grass in the sun.
I enjoy learning and have already learnt not to climb on the furniture and to sleep in my own bed, and to climb up and down stairs. I love to play with all kinds of other dogs and am very patient with children who want to pat me. I can jump a bit if I get really excited but I try to be careful.
I can get a bit tired on my walks after about twenty minutes so I like to rest a bit before continuing, although I’ll happily walk more than once a day. I like to go to bed at about 9pm and I usually wake up at 6am but if I see you’re still sleeping, I’ll go back to bed for a while. Having a bath is a pleasant experience so I am very patient while being washed and dried.
Overall, I am a really happy, enthusiastic, inquisitive girl. I can be a bit cheeky too but that’s part of my charm.

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.
