About Ollie
Ollie loves an adventure walk. Suburban streets are fine but he loves his walkabouts into local nature trails. He is an off-road enthusiast. Ollie loves the long grass and bushes to explore. He is not a great fan of busy city streets. Ollie would also love a yard for his zoomies and can entertain himself with a toy to toss about.
At home ollie is quite the gentleman and can be OK for a few hours alone providing he has access to a yard for…. his business.
Ollie’s foster family describe him as an angel, he is well behaved, loving all humans and thrives on their attention. Ollie can get a bit cheeky if he is hungry or needs his walk. He will “borrow” household things until he gets your attention.
Ollie gets excited at meeting other dogs so will need a bit of patience when meeting new dogs.
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.
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.
