About Johno
Johno is a pretty lazy fella. He likes to get out each day for a sniff and wander around the neighbourhood but he doesn’t need a whole heap of exercise. Occasionally he will engage in some zoomies, which are pure joy to witness, but he’s pooped after only a few minutes!
Johno’s transition into foster care has been relatively seamless. He’s a confident boy who quickly felt at home in his new life. He’s easy-going and happy as an only-dog, but wouldn’t mind living with a friend too. Johno’s best quality is his independence. He’s low maintenance and is content sleeping most of the day, lifting his head occasionally for a good head scratch. Over time, he’s become more affectionate and his personality is beginning to really shine.
He loves meeting new people, especially on walks. Everyone is greeted with a friendly sniff and a tail wag before Johno gets on his merry way. John raced for a long time, so we suspect it will take some time until his true colours show. But what he has shown so far is pretty wonderful. He’s one of those dogs that you never forget. Truly sweet and special, John is one of kind.

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.
