About Ollie
What’s up, I’m Ollie!
I’m a big boy but a gentle giant, so don’t be intimidated by my masculine exterior.
My favourite past time is sleeping, so I do enjoy quiet times. I swear I’m not an old man, I’m just a greyhound. I’m one of those handsome Gold Coast boys, who loves walking along the beach and admiring the scenery on those long car trips. I like to play but I love, love food. Not like, love! I did have surgery on my tummy so I have to eat 4 meals per day. Winner winner chicken dinner I say, and I still have a perfect beach bod, go me.
Now I’m pretty chilled, but if you touch my toy, I will get a bit bossy because what’s yours is mine but mine is mine. Period.
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.
