About Frank - Brisbane
Hey there, the name is Frankie!
I’m a lanky boy, who’s very well behaved and I’m a smart cookie. What makes me smart you ask? Well, I have picked up on this pet life quite easily and learnt all the ins and outs of a household from my short time in one. If you love photography then I’m your pup, I take beautiful photos and do enjoy the attention.
Even though I look great physically, I’m a lazy boy. When I say lazy, I mean lazy, but randomly I do get bursts of energy. So, watch out because it will be a fun time, maybe not for you but for me. I mean who doesn’t love running around in circles for no apparent reason. I don’t know why but while I’m waiting for my food, I have a habit of hopping on alternating legs and going around in circles on the spot. I think this makes me, me, and it will give my future owners a good laugh.
I’m a big fan of getting my nose massaged, it’s a regular thing for me and I hope you too, will do it for me. I’m very curious, so if you see my little noggin popping over the neighbour’s fence, I’m just investigating.
Really, I’m hoping for a good pat, or even a treat. I’m also curious of other dogs but I’m still not quite there yet, they kind of scare and intrigue me at the same time.
No cat or small dog applications please.
No children under ten.
No full time workers unless working from home or there is another dog
We only consider applications who compete our Gumtree Greys 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.
