About Macy
Macy, our gorgeous chocolate brindle loves her two daily 30 minute walks but could stretch it out if more is on offer.
In between her walks, at home Macy will settle and is happy to assume the responsibilities of a lapdog. She may break out into indoor zoomies in the morning when you get up and display her trademark bunny jumps at moments of excitement.
Macy is learning basic instructions from her foster Mums including “wait” and “OK’ on her walks and doing some “watch me” training to be more comfortable encountering other dogs on her walks.
At home Macy is a champion at most challenges like up and down stairs. Her foster carers describe her and playful, curious, confident and affectionate.
Macy loves to show her love with nose kisses.
Macy is lucky to be fostered with her foster brother Andy who is also her actual brother. They were rescued together with two other siblings, also in foster care in Melbourne. We would be very open to adopting them as a pair. This may suit a home with folk away from the home more often. They will be able to provide company for each other.
No cat or small dog applications please.
No children under six.
No full time workers unless working from home or there is another dog
We only consider applications who compete our online application.
When this is done we can make contact to discuss adopting a greyhound and potential suitable greys currently in foster care.
Medical notes
Like many racing greyhounds, Macy had leg injury. It has healed but she may need some attention as she gets older.
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.
