About Brock
A distinguished salt & pepper gentleman, Brock is a long dog of leisure. He enjoys sunbaking, lounging, and snoozing – beauty sleep is especially important.
Affectionate, charming, and friendly, you'll fall in love with Brock's frosty face, his formal-ready tuxedo chest and deliciously cute white socks! But he'll seal the deal with his cuddle-bug ways! Brock is a lap dog and will flop down in your lap for an upside-down snuggle. He's also not shy when it comes to requesting his daily dose of pats.
Brock just loves to love, and would love to accompany on all your adventures. Because Brock is such a little love sponge, he doesn't love being left alone, so a human who is home a lot and a canine companion would be ideal.
Brock is house-trained and has great leash manners. When it comes to food, Brock is a massive foodie and he’s still learning that the kitchen bench isn’t self-serve. You’ll need to ensure that all food is put away or pushed back as a far as possible from this cheeky monkey!
Brock can get startled when woken from a deep sleep – this is quite common for ex-racing greyhounds to show sleep startle tendencies, and is easily managed. Brock will require continued socialisation and positive reinforcement in his new home.

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.
