About Timmy. Melbourne
Timmy is a jet black, soft coated boy with floppy ears with a mind of their own. He truly is packed full of personality, is incredibly friendly and energetic, but also loves a good cuddle.
Some of Timmy’s favourite hobbies in foster care include, checking himself out in the mirror, perfecting the art of bed failing and blocking your way and demanding pats. Timmy has also been enjoying finding all the nooks and crannies he can fit his snoot into. Timmy’s forever family will need to keep all food out of his reach, as he is a hungry boy who will find a way to get anything edible.
Timmy loves his walks and will demand them if not taken on his schedule. He is a social dog and loves to talk to his people. Timmy is always up for a pat and any positive attention, even from strangers. He gets on well with other dogs, and would be okay either as an only dog or with canine siblings.
Timmy has an eye condition known as pannus (quite common for greyhounds ). He requires medicated eye drops, administered twice daily.
Timmy is interested in small dogs, however does not show aggression.
No cat 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.
