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.
