About Robbie Melbourne
Robbie is the kind of dog you want to baby. His sweet little face and floppy ears are just so cute that you have to give him a big squeeze every time he is near. And when he has pjs on, his adorableness is almost too much to handle. We need a bit of a lie down every time we look at him.
Part of Robbie’s charm is his expressive face. He’s very in tune with the world around him and loves to interact with people. Plus, he knows how cute he is and will do his best to get all the attention he can muster. Robbie’s love of people knows no bounds – he thinks they are the coolest. He’s super inquisitive and always wants to know what they are doing. Even if they are just sitting on the couch, Robbie can’t think of a better way to spend his time. There’s no bigger joy in the world than lying down near his favourite people.
Robbie knows his boundaries and is a true people-pleaser. He leaves the kitchen on command and won’t enter the bedrooms without permission. If boundaries are set at the start, Robbie will rarely cross them. If he is feeling a bit cheeky, a quite, stern ‘no’ brings him back into line pretty quickly. He’s a great walker, however can get over-excited upon meeting dogs. He’s a bit wary of small dogs and further socialisation will be needed to show him they are friends, not foe.
Robbie is the biggest smooch you’ll ever meet. There will be no shortage of cuddles and kisses when this boy is around.

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.
