Bear

5 years old

Bear is a friendly, outgoing greyhound with a confident and affectionate nature. He loves being around people, seeks eye contact, and enjoys leaning into his handler for attention and cuddles. Bear is eager to please and forms strong bonds with those around him, making him a wonderful companion. Bear has had a soft pad surrounding his elbow called a hygroma. It has healed, but would benefit from ongoing soft bedding and regular checks with your vet. Bear is looking for a home with another greyhound for company and may be suitable to live with calm medium to large dogs. He may be suited to live with children aged 10 years and over.

Tessie ARP

2 years old

Tessie is a gentle and sweet-natured girl who brings a quiet charm wherever she goes. Having had some experience living inside a home, she is familiar with the comforts of family life and is ready to find a place to call her own. Friendly, personable and easy to handle, Tessie enjoys the company of her people while also being happy to entertain herself. Her lovely, healthy shiny coat is just one of the many things that make this beautiful girl so special.

While Tessie is generally a calm and independent girl, she can occasionally be a little unsure in unfamiliar situations. With patience, encouragement and positive experiences, we believe she will continue to grow in confidence and truly blossom. Her polite manners and gentle temperament make her a pleasure to spend time with, and she may suit living with or without a canine brother of a similar size. Tessie could also be a wonderful addition to a family with children aged 10 years and older.

If you're interested in adopting this dog, we'll arrange for them to come into GAP specifically for you to meet and complete the adoption process. Since the dog is being brought into the program based on your interest, we ask that applicants be reasonably confident this is the greyhound they'd like to welcome into their family. Unlike our standard adoption process, you won't be able to meet multiple dogs at the same time however our team will share lots of information about this greyhound to help you determine if they're the perfect match for your family.

Xandi ARP

3 years old

Sweet Xandi is a pretty and gentle soul who is looking for a patient, understanding home where she can build her confidence at her own pace.

Quiet, sweet and personable, Xandi is easy to handle and forms lovely connections through soft eye contact and her affectionate nature.

She would thrive with an owner who can give her the time, patience and encouragement she needs to settle in and feel secure. Xandi may suit living with or without a canine companion of any size and could be well suited to a home with children aged 15 years and older who can respect her gentle and sensitive nature.

Moro

Moro is a friendly, outgoing greyhound who approaches life with confidence and curiosity. He enjoys meeting new people, taking in his surroundings, and being part of the daily routine, while still maintaining the independent nature that greyhounds are known for.

Moro could be placed as an only dog, where he can enjoy all the attention to himself, or with a compatible medium to large dog following a successful introduction. Having successfully completed behavioural rehabilitation, Moro is ready for a fresh start with an adopter who understands his needs and will support his ongoing progress. Due to his history, he cannot live with small dogs, cats, or other small animals. With the right home, Moro will make a loyal and rewarding companion.

Cowboy

4 years old

Cowboy is a handsome boy with a big heart and an even bigger zest for life. Sweet, friendly, and full of personality, he is an outgoing and confident boy who loves spending time with his people. Cowboy is affectionate, playful, and delightfully puppyish at times, often seeking eye contact and looking for ways to engage with those around him. He is eager to please and thrives on attention, especially when it comes in the form of a full-body scratch. When he's feeling excited, Cowboy has a quirky habit of gently mouthing hands as a way of expressing his enthusiasm. It's a playful and endearing behaviour, never intended to be rough or aggressive. Cowboy has experience living indoors and comes crate trained and toilet trained, making him well prepared for life in a home. He can be enthusiastic when heading out for a walk, but once his initial excitement has passed, he settles nicely and walks well on lead. Cowboy may suit a home with or without a canine companion of a similar size and would likely enjoy living with older children in their teenage years. With his loving nature, happy outlook, and entertaining personality, Cowboy is sure to bring plenty of smiles to his future family.

Russia

7 years old

Meet Russia, a sweet and affectionate greyhound whose zest for life is guaranteed to make you smile. This enthusiastic girl loves a good zoomie session and has a wonderfully goofy nature that brings plenty of fun and laughter to her day. Russia is still working on her manners and can get a little carried away when excitement takes over, so she'll do best in a home with children aged 10+ or adults who can help guide her as she learns. She could happily live as an only dog or with a canine companion, and may even suit a cat-friendly home. Russia is not suited to apartment living and would love a home with space to stretch her legs, share her affection, and show off her joyful personality.
