Adopting a greyhound is a simple, supportive process designed to find the best match for you and your lifestyle. We take the time to get to know you, introduce you to some wonderful greyhounds, and provide all the guidance and information you need to feel confident and ready.

Temperament-tested greyhounds

All GAP greyhounds come desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, and with a full health check - ready to settle straight into home life.

Gromit

2 years old

Just like Wallace’s trusty side kick, this Gromit is a real life version of everyone’s favourite clay cartoon character. With his beautiful fawn coat, striking white socks and stunning dark points, he is a real handsome boy that turns heads!

One of his ears likes to flop around on his head as he walks and we think it's too adorable. Gromit can sometimes be a little shy in new situations, but he soon relaxes and shows his sweet, gentle nature. He is lovely to walk on the lead and think he may suit living with families with children 10 and over and another medium or larger dog that likes to play. As Gromit is still only a young boy, he is still a bit of a puppy at times so a home that understands he will be a bit silly and bouncy will be best for him.

Jackson

years old

This handsome lad is Jackson, he has some unusual white markings that reach up around his neck which makes him stand out in a crowd. Apart from his looks, this boy is a charmer and loves to interact with people and dogs, sometimes a little too enthusiastically so we think he may better suit a home with children 10 and over and another robust medium or larger play buddy. Jackson would love a yard to run around in and play so this is a must too. He may be ok with full time workers as long as he gets his energy out daily!

Cruise

2 years old

Cruise is a very affectionate boy who adores leaning up against his people. He has the cutest underbite which is really endearing. This social boy can be a little excitable at times (he is only a young boy after all!) so someone that can involve him in adventures would be amazing for him so he can get his short burst of energy out whilst also making friends where ever he goes! Cruise would likely suit a home with children aged 10 or older and may be fine with full time workers.

Lee

2 years old

How handsome is this young chap! Mr Lee here is a stunning, sleek, shiny boy that is just as sweet as he is handsome. Lee is still a young one getting to know the ropes so he can be a bit silly and on the go but he does sometimes step back and take it all in. He can be a little shy in new situations but soon forgets what he was worried about and is back to his usual playful self. We think Lee may suit living with children 10+ and maybe another medium or larger companion. He has requested a backyard though please as he wants to show you his epic zoomies and play till its nap time!

Grover Rover

6 years old

We think a backyard will be best for this boy and children that are a little bit older incase he gets a bit too silly! Grover may suit living with another doggie companion of any size in his new home and full time workers. Gaston and Grover are a bonded pair and we would like them to stay together. If you are looking for a ready made family, these two beauties may be perfect for you!

Gracie

4 years old

Sweet girl Gracie is looking for a special home that will suit her quirks. She has spent time in a home before and her perfect home is still out there. Gracie is a lady of leisure and much prefers hanging out inside than outside so we think she may be ok in an apartment type setting, as long as she still gets her walks! She can be a little bit of an independent girly and likes her space, especially when snoozing, so a home without another dog or children would be the best. She is so sweet, friendly and loves to lean on you for a pat and she is also very beautiful to look out with her stunning brindle coat, we just know her perfect home is out there for her!

Violet

7 years old

Meet Violet, the elegant greyhound with a refined presence. This quiet and calm girl is a polite and gentle soul who values her independence. Violet's aloof nature might make her a bit mysterious, but once you earn her trust, she'll reward you with affection on her own terms. Violet may be suited to a home with kids aged 15+ who can appreciate her calm and respectful nature. She's looking for a household where she's the only dog or with a respectful dog that won't disrupt her peaceful vibe. If you're looking for a low-maintenance but loving companion who values her independence, Violet might be the perfect fit.

Meeko is perfect for families with kids aged 5+, who will adore his energetic and loving personality.
