About Spinner
Spinner has the best puppy-dog eyes you’ll ever see. Deep, golden and rich, all it takes is one look into Spinner’s eyes and you’ll fall in love.
Despite his handsome presence, Spinner doesn’t let his good looks inflate his ego. He is a very sweet boy who is always looking to please the people around him. He’s an A+ roommate with excellent manners, toilet trained, no resource guarding and waits patiently for his food every evening. The highlight of his day is being able to lie on the couch with his humans and have a good head scratch.
With a name like Spinner, you would be forgiven for thinking that this handsome boy is an endless pit of energy. On the contrary, Spinner is a chilled out dude who would make an excellent apartment dog as long as he gets a couple of good walks a day. He would prefer to be an only dog as he can get overexcited and is still learning how to play with other dogs.
His favourite pastimes include stretching, watching tv (especially AFL) and watching his humans eat dinner from the comfort of his bed. Spinner is an adaptable dog that has responded well to living in an apartment, handling stairs, elevators and not having access to a backyard with ease. He hopes that his new home will have plenty of toys for him to play with to keep him entertained throughout the day.
Spinner is not cat friendly. No 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.
