About Emjay
Howdy, I’m Emjay.
I’m a cutie and because I’m so handsome, I receive lots of compliments. I’ve been told I have gorgeous eyes and I’m a very good boy. So don’t be afraid to flatter me every now and again, I love it. Life without racing is awesome, I have tried an array of new things and done them very well. I’m great on a lead but unusual noises can cause me to freeze up momentarily, until I realise its okay to move on. I would love a playmate to keep me company at home but I’m able to keep myself entertained for short periods. I do prefer a quieter home, just imagine me relaxing peacefully on the floor while you read a good book on the couch. Or if I bedazzle you with my gorgeous eyes, we could both chill on the couch together. I’m a fan of food, toys, car rides, zoomies, anything exciting or delicious really. Maybe we could get a puppuccino together, let me know!

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.
