About Jack
This big hunk of spunk will get heads turning. Jack is a superstar and is always the talk of the town. He is not one to shy away from the attention either - he loves everyone and will poke his snoot at anyone who refuses to give him the love he deserves. Jack is an easy-going and lovable lad who is prone to a good cuddle on the couch.
He loves to chill out with his peeps and give them a good smooch. He has been known to accidentally flop off the couch when in a deep sleep and pretend he totally meant to do it- no dramas with this guy! He is a smart cookie and has mastered the stairs, knows to 'wait' before eating, and will do a little tap dance when he needs to go out to do his business. He loves other dogs out and about and will give them a polite tail wag and is quite tolerant of the yappers.
Overall, Jack is a darling and striking fellow and will make a wonderful addition to the family.
No cats or small dogs
No full time workers unless some working from home or there is another dog
No children under six

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.
