Mr Merlino and his family adopted blue greyhound Sara into their lives at the Greyhound Racing Victoria Adoption Day.
About 350 people attended the event, held at the Ballarat Greyhound Racing Track.
Greyhound Racing Victoria strategic communication and marketing team general manager Louise Martin said the day was a huge success.
“We had around 350 people attend Sunday’s event which was a great result,” Ms Martin said.
“Of the 35 greyhounds we had available for adoption on the day, 33 found homes, while remaining greyhounds Dizzy and Hughy returned to Seymour until they are matched to the right home.”
She said the Greyhound Adoption Program matched the right greyhounds to the right homes, based on each individual dog’s temperament and personality.
