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.

Already started on life beyond the track

Our greyhounds are well on their way to becoming fantastic family pets, with many having lived in foster homes or gone through transitional training.

Ongoing support from a caring team

We’re here for the long haul, with advice and support available throughout your greyhound’s life - because you’re part of the GAP family now.

Jed

4 years old

Jed is a handsome and affectionate greyhound with a sweet, friendly nature and a real love of people. Personable and easy to spend time with, he enjoys being close to his handlers and has an endearing habit of leaning gently against you for comfort and companionship. With his kind heart and loving personality, Jed quickly wins over everyone he meets. While Jed is generally social, he can sometimes feel a little worried around unfamiliar breeds of dog, so he would benefit from thoughtful introductions and would be best avoiding off-lead parks or busy areas where dogs may rush up to him. He may suit living with polite dogs of any size who will respect his space and could also be a wonderful companion for a family with children aged 5 years and older. With understanding and support, Jed will reward his new family with loyalty, affection and plenty of gentle cuddles. Jed also may suit living with a feline friend due to his placid nature and has shown lovely interactions with them.

Hendrix

3 years old

Meet Hendrix, a true rockstar with a big personality and an even bigger heart. This extroverted greyhound loves being part of the action and charms everyone he meets with his quirky, affectionate nature. Always ready to make a connection, Hendrix is known for seeking out eye contact with his people, as if he's checking in to make sure you're enjoying the show as much as he is. He's enthusiastic about life, loves tearing around the yard in a burst of zoomies, and genuinely wants to please those around him. With Hendrix in your corner, there's never a dull moment. Hendrix is looking for a home with children aged 10 years and over or adults, and is not suited to a home with elderly residents due to his energetic and exuberant nature. He could thrive as an only dog soaking up the spotlight, or with a compatible canine companion to share his adventures. A home without cats is essential, and a secure backyard is a must so he can enjoy his favourite pastime—putting on a spectacular zoomie performance worthy of his namesake. For a family seeking a social, loving and entertaining companion, Hendrix is ready to headline the show.

Spence

3 years old

Spence is a pretty female greyhound with a sweet, affectionate nature and a playful, puppyish energy that shines through in everything she does. She’s full of life, excitable in the best way, and loves to have fun, whether it’s zooming around the yard, playing games, or soaking up attention from her favourite people. Spence forms strong bonds and enjoys being part of an active household where she can express her joyful personality. Spence is best suited to a home with children aged 10 and over or adults who can match her lively spirit and provide appropriate guidance. She would do well as the only dog or with a robust medium to large canine companion, but she isn’t suited to living with cats or frail, older dogs or people due to her enthusiasm. Spence will thrive in a home with a backyard where she can burn off energy and play. With the right environment, she’ll grow into a wonderfully loving and entertaining companion. THIS LOVELY GREYHOUND WILL BE AVAILABLE AT OUR UPCOMING BEST MATES ADOPTION EVENT ON SUNDAY 6TH SEPTEMBER! REGISTER VIA GAP WEBSITE.

Stormy

Stormy is a quiet, sweet girl with a gentle nature and a soft spot for treats and affection. She's easy to handle and walks nicely on lead. Stormy can be a little submissive at first, but she tries hard and warms up quickly with kindness and patience. She would suit being any only dog where she can soak up all the love, or she may be suitable to live with small, medium or large dogs. Stormy may also be suitable to live with children aged 15+.

Nike

3 years old

Nike is back from her foster home and is now ready for adoption! She has done really well with her toilet training and got along well with the resident dog, as well as learning how to relax and sleep the day away! Nike may suit living in a home with or without another medium or large canine companion, and full time workers. Nike can be a little shy initially, so she would prefer a home with older, quieter children in a quiet home. Once she warms up to you, she can be quite personable and sometimes will even show her playful streak! Nike has a previous hock fracture, with hardware that has been removed. She isn't lame and is weight bearing.

Frank

6 years old

Meet Frank, a confident and outgoing greyhound who knows exactly how to charm his way into your heart. This friendly boy loves making eye contact, as if he’s checking in with you to say, “Did you see how awesome I am just then?” Frank brings a big personality wherever he goes, paired with a genuine affection for people and a zest for life. He’s completed behavioural rehabilitation training focused on learning appropriate behaviour around other dogs, and he’s made great progress—though he’ll still benefit from a home willing to continue guiding him, especially when it comes to polishing up his manners. Frank is best suited to a home with adults or kids aged 10+, where his enthusiasm and size will be well matched. He would thrive as the only dog or alongside a medium-to-large canine companion, but he isn’t suitable for homes with small dogs or cats. Due to his energy and continued learning, he’s not the right fit for elderly households. With a bit of structure, patience, and plenty of affection, Frank will reward his family with loyalty, fun, and that unmistakable greyhound grin that makes every day brighter.

Peter

7 years old

Peter is a friendly, outgoing, and confident male greyhound who loves meeting people and being part of the action. He has spent time in foster care, where he has thrived in a home environment, learning to walk well on lead, becoming toilet trained, and showing just how easy-going he can be. Peter is equally happy spending much of his day snoozing and relaxing, making him a wonderfully settled companion around the home. His enthusiastic personality makes him a fun and engaging companion for adopters who enjoy an interactive dog with plenty of character. Peter is best suited to a home with adults or children aged 10 and up. He can live as an only dog or with a medium to large canine companion but is not suitable for homes with cats or small dogs. Due to his size, he is not recommended for homes with elderly residents. With a loving and committed household, Peter will thrive and become a loyal and rewarding lifelong companion. Peter had a dislocated toe prior to GAP entry. He bears weight on this limb and the toe is stable and not causing pain. He also has an autoimmune eye condition called Pannus, which is well controlled with daily eye drops. THIS LOVELY GREYHOUND WILL BE AVAILABLE AT OUR UPCOMING BEST MATES ADOPTION EVENT ON SUNDAY 6TH SEPTEMBER! REGISTER VIA THE GAP WEBSITE.

Paris

5 years old

Want a little piece of the City of Love in your life? Meet Paris! ❤️ This cheeky, affectionate boy is ready to leave kennel life behind and find a home of his own. Paris thrived in foster care, where he quickly settled into home life and won hearts with his sweet nature, clever personality, and easy-going attitude. He loves a good sniffari, zooming around the yard, and then relaxing beside his people for plenty of pats and affection. Paris walks beautifully on lead once he's had a chance to burn off some excitement and enjoys taking in the world around him. We think he could suit a home with children aged 10+ and may be happy living with or without a medium to large canine companion.
