About June. Melbourne
June is low energy, even for a greyhound! She’s happy with one walk a day to break up her snoozing. June likes to fill her bed with soft toys for an extra layer of comfort.
June has adapted well to foster life. She learned how to use stairs very quickly, is toilet trained and loves to relax in the morning. One thing we can definitely say about June though, she’s CRAZY for food. She is still learning to remain calm when her humans are cooking or just heading to the fridge.
She loves human company and enjoys having her foster sibling (a greyhound) around, but her foster parents think she’d be okay as an only dog.
If you’re looking for a cuddlebug, June could be it. If you are sitting on the other side of the couch, she will worm her way over until she’s lying on you. June has mastered the paw of more and if there is a lap available, be sure she will come looking for a pat.
No cat or small dog applications please.

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.
