About Phoebe
I’m Phoebe and I’m a sleek black medium-sized (for a greyhound) beauty. I’m only two years old so I’m still pretty innocent and I’m heaps of fun. I’m also super affectionate and love kids.
One of my favorite things is going in the car and playing at the beach or going just about anywhere, even just stopping at a dog-friendly café. I’ve been around all kinds of other dogs and enjoy playing with them all, especially the ones that are my size or medium-sized (for other breeds).
Generally speaking I’m an easygoing girl, accepting of new things and quick to learn. I don’t even need actual training, just a bit of repetition. As you can tell, I’m very sociable so I’d prefer to have a doggie brother or sister to live with.
If you think I sound perfect, well, I almost am...almost. Here’s my only fault – I can be a tiny bit mischievous and am a bit of a hoarder. If you’re wondering where the cushions from your couch went, look on my bed. I won't harm them...I just want them near me because they smell like you.

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.
