About Bluey
Hi, I'm Bluey, and I'm looking for my forever home. First and foremost, I love to dance! I've got some serious moves, and I'm not afraid to show them off. Before a walk, I like to prance and jump side to side, balancing on my back legs as I go. It's like a warm-up routine for me. And when I'm really feeling the rhythm, I'll do a little snap with my mouth - it's my way of clapping for myself!
Some people might say that greyhounds are all legs and no rhythm, but I'm here to prove them wrong. I've got rhythm in spades, and I could dance circles around the competition. If I were a human, I'd be the king of the dance floor, like John Travolta or Gene Kelly. Or maybe Fred Astaire, because I'm just that smooth.
Of course, I'm not all dancing - I'm also a sweet and gentle boy. I love a good ear scratch, and I've even started leaning in for the pats. And while I used to be a bit of a food hoarder, I've since learned to share. I do have a bit of a quirky poo technique, though - I like to do my business on spiky bushes and raise just one leg. What can I say, I like to keep things interesting!
I have a few other funny traits too. For one thing, I'm an early bird. It's like I have an alarm clock hidden somewhere inside me, because I'm always ready to start the day bright and early. I usually want my foster family up around 6am to open the door so I can go potty. Then at 7am, I take the toys out of my box and play with them one by one. By 7:30 or 8am, I may bark to suggest that it's time to get up. What can I say it’s the best part of the day!!
As for my ideal home, I think I could fit in just about anywhere. I'm fine with being home alone for a few hours, as long as I have access to an outside area. But maybe a house with lots of little kids would be a bit too much for me - I like to watch the action, but I'm not much of a player. And while I've been patient with my foster sister June, I might not be a fan of a pushy dog who wants to force me to play.
Overall, I'm just a happy, friendly, and dancing-obsessed greyhound looking for my forever home. I hope you'll consider adopting me and letting me boogie my way into your heart

Adoption details
STEP 1 – ENQUIRE & EOI FORM:
https://greytgreys.org/adoption-form/
If the greyhound you have applied for is unavailable or unsuitable, we can match you with a more suitable greyhound. We may have a hound in foster care who might be well suited to your family.
STEP 2 – LET'S CHAT:
We'll phone you to discuss suitability, clarify any points of your application and chat process and next steps.
STEP 3 – HOUSE CHECK & MEET + GREET:
We'll come to you! The meet + greet is conducted at the same time that a house check is carried out. The meet + greet is the day that your newly adopted greyhound will be able to stay on with you.
Our adoption fee is $350.00 and must be paid on on the day of the meet + greet, and prior to starting your 3 week trial. Support from our team is freely available. If you have any issues, we urge you to contact us to try and work through them, as all rescue greyhounds have some period of adjustment.
If after the 3 week trial, you feel that you need to return the greyhound, we will refund your adoption fee (less a $50 administration fee), upon return of the dog and all paperwork and other items that the dog was adopted with.
All of our hounds are adopted out with the following:
> Collar, lead & coat
> Certificate of sterilisation & vaccination
> Flea & worm treated
> Care information for your newly adopted greyhound
> Access to our private Facebook page for foster carers, volunteers and adopters of our hounds. A community with invaluable advice and support.
