Ready to meet your new best mate?

There’s nothing quite like the bond between a person and their greyhound, it’s gentle, loyal, and full of quiet moments that make your heart smile. At GAP, we believe every greyhound deserves a loving home, and every home deserves the joy of a greyhound. Whether you’re a first-time dog owner, a seasoned pet lover, or just beginning to explore adoption, we’re here to help you every step of the way.

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.

From your first enquiry to the day you welcome your greyhound home - and well beyond - our team will be there to offer advice, answer questions, and cheer you on. Here’s what the journey looks like, and how to take the first step toward finding your new best friend.

Why adopt through GAP?

Expert matching

We take the time to get to know you and your lifestyle, so we can match you with a greyhound that’s the perfect fit.

Temperament-tested greyhounds

Every greyhound in our program is assessed for personality, behaviour, and sociability - so you can adopt with confidence.

Desexed, vaccinated and vet-checked

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

Hershey

2 years old

Meet Hershey, a sweet and handsome fawn greyhound with a penchant for zoomies 😊. This cautious boy's got a playful streak and loves to get active, but he needs time to warm up to new things. Hershey's a great fit for an active household where he can get plenty of exercise and attention. Hershey suits households with kids 10+ or adults who can keep up with his energetic vibe – no elderly or apartments, please! He needs a backyard to stretch his legs and a medium to large dog companion if he's not the only dog. No cats, thanks! If you're looking for a fun-loving, loyal companion who's always up for a chocolatey good time, Hershey's your guy!

Passionfruit

6 years old

Passionfruit is just as adorable as her name is. She is unique in that she was born with a shorter tail than most of her greyhound pals. She is sweet, friendly and can act like a puppy at times even though she is 6 years old. She does settle down after her initial excitement. Passionfruit may suit living with or without a robust canine brother of similar size and children aged 10 years and older. Whilst in our care, Passionfruit had an infected vulva which we have treated with antibiotics, and the infection cleared up.

No long walks for this lady, just chill time and snuggles. Despite her condition, Amber's a loving companion who'll bring joy to your life – she's worth it, trust us! 🐾 If you're looking for a sweet friend, Amber's the one.

Stacey

4 years old

Meet Stacey and her muscular chest! Stacey and her ears are just adorable, they flop all over the place. Stacey can be a bit unsure in new situations and new environments, but it doesn't take her long to settle. On warm days, Stacey's favourite thing is to lay in water in a shell pool. On the not so hot days, Stacey enjoys a game of fetch, and she will actually drop the ball at your feet for you to throw it again! For people that don't know greyhounds, this is a rarity for them! Stacey has successfully completed further training in our onsite behavioural rehabilitation program (BRP) and is now ready for adoption. Stacey may do best living in a home as an only dog and children aged 10 years and older. Stacey has had an old Right forelimb injury and Left hindlimb stress fracture along the hock prior to GAP entry. She bears weight on these limbs and both limbs are stable.
