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.

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.

Isha ARP

3 years old

Isha is a beautiful 3yr old greyhound with the sweetest nature and the most charming smile you’ll ever see.

She can be a little shy when meeting new people, but give her a bit of time and you’ll see her playful, energetic side come to life. Once she warms up, Isha absolutely loves being around her people and has a way of making everyone around her smile right back.

Isha is currently living in a home with two young children and two other greyhounds, so she’s well used to family life. While she has grown up around little kids, she can get a bit excited by them (purely out of love!), so she would likely be best suited to a home with older children (10 and over) who understand her gentle but enthusiastic nature.

She would be best suited to a home with medium or larger male dogs and isn’t suited to living with cats.

Isha would thrive in a quieter, more relaxed environment and we think regional living would suit her perfectly, where she can enjoy space, routine and a calm lifestyle away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a big heart and an even bigger smile, Isha might just be your girl.

Sniper ARP

2 years old

Sniper is very handsome with kind eyes. He doesn’t understand how big he is sometimes and can be strong on lead. He is excitable and enthusiastic when you first meet him then calms down and is very sweet and friendly. Sniper may suit living with or without a robust canine friend that’s medium size or larger and children in their teenage years. He will likely do best in a home with a backyard so he can run and play in.

This dog is part of our Assisted Rehoming Program (ARP). We have behavioural and health assessed this lovely dog, and they will remain with their racing owners until they find an adoptive home, at which point they are brought back into GAP. This means that should you be interested in adopting this dog, we are bringing the dog into GAP on the understanding that you will be adopting this particular dog, and not other dogs currently in our care.
