About Brody
Brody has a serious case of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). He just wants to be involved in everything his humans are doing. He’s like a little shadow, following you from room to room, just in case you decide to do something particularly exciting without him. It’s very sweet and cute, but it does mean that Brody needs an owner who works from home as he can get quite sad when his foster carers leave the house.
Brody moonlights as an alarm clock. At 8:30am on the dot he will run into his foster carers bedroom, giving them a kiss on the face as a gentle reminder that he is here, ready for pats and his morning walk. Brody likes to have two decent sized walks a day as he has a fair bit of energy to burn. He’s either asleep for hours at a time, or flying around the house from room to room. He gets a bit excitable when meeting new people, but that’s just because he loves them so much! He’s less interested in other dogs but wouldn’t have an issue with a canine brother or sister.
He has grown in leaps and bounds since arriving in foster care and shown a wonderful ability to adapt to whatever life throws his way. He now sleeps through the night, walks confidently on the lead and has become familiar with all the sights and sounds of suburban living. He’s still learning not to steal food of the benches though, so food needs to be pushed back as far as possible from this sneaky boy!!
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.
