Lulu ARP

Lulu ARP

3 years old

You will go 'lala' over Lulu! She is stunning, puppyish and a tad shy but oh so sweet. She will show you her puppyish side once she starts to settle in and you will just fall in love. We think this pretty girl may suit living with another medium or larger male companion and maybe children 10 and over. Anice yard to relax in will be great for Lulu as well.

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

Honeybee ARP

2 years old

Could you ‘bee’ any sweeter than a Honeybee? Nope! Miss Honeybee is so hoping she will find her field of flowers to call home soon. She can be a bit reserved to start with but you will soon see that sweet side ooze out of her as she settles in. She will look at you for guidance and really loves being told she is a “good girl!” so someone that is willing to give her some time and reassurance as she becomes a pet would be great. We think she may suit homes that have another calm male dog of any size and older children that will give her space to adjust.

This stunning girl is a real leaner! She will lean on you for pats any opportunity she gets and we are all here for it. This cutie is a quiet and gentle girl that can sometimes be a little shy but she tries her hardest. We think she may thrive in a home that has a bit of a yard to play in and children 10 and over that will love to play with her but also happy to give her space when she wants to just chill. She may also be ok living with another male canine companion of any size.

Pershing ARP

2 years old

If you are looking for a smallish male greyhound, well look no further than Pershing! Pershing can act like an excitable goofy puppy upon first meeting him but then settles down and is a friendly and affectionate boy. Pershing may suit living with or without a canine pal of similar size and children aged 10 years and older. Due to his puppyish nature, he wouldn’t be suited to live in an apartment or with elderly.

Why adopt a greyhound?

Loving and loyal

Once a Greyhound lets you in, they become incredibly loyal, forming 
deep bonds and showing affectionate devotion.

Quiet companions

Greyhounds are quiet and reserved, making them excellent neighbors 
in shared living spaces.

Independent thinkers

Greyhounds are obedient yet independent, combining problem-solving skills with a self-assured nature.
