About Knox Melbourne
Knox is a modern man - big and strong on the outside, melty and soft in the middle.
If we had to write Knox a report card, he’d pass with flying colours. Walking on a lead? No problem. Meeting other dogs? Totally chilled. Learning new commands? Easy-peasy. This handsome boy is the real deal; easy-going, affectionate and loads of personality to boot. In fact, we can’t think of one reason you shouldn’t adopt Knox.
He is a real looker - a sizeable lad with a gorgeous roman nose, he’s sure to stand out at your local dog park. We hope you enjoy your daily walks, because Knox has plenty of energy and will need at least two decent sessions a day. He’s a sporty boy who loves to play with soccer balls, footballs and has taken an interest in frisbees too!
He’s even energetic in showing his affection, often running up to his human and brushing up against them to demand cuddles.
When he’s finally tuckered out, Knox becomes a real smooch. His favourite spot to be tickled is his chest and legs. He’ll let out a funny sigh of comfort when you’ve hit the sweet spot. Knox will work well for someone living in the suburbs who is looking for an intelligent, boisterous and loveable companion.
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.
