Socks

2 years old

Child tolerant

Small dog tolerant

Socks is one of the loveliest little girls you will ever meet! She is super sweet, personable, affectionate, and loves everyone she meets! She has had her leg amputated whilst at GAP and she has dealt with it like a champion! The only thing that really slows her down is stairs (but that's completely understandable!) Socks will be looking for a home with or without another canine companion of any size and children aged 5 years and over. She would prefer a home with a backyard, but may suit an older owner. If you have a 3 legged-shaped hole in your heart, please consider taking this absolutely adorable girl!

Mr D ARP

6 years old

Child tolerant

Hi! I’m Mr D! What’s that you say!? I’m handsome? Well, there is so much more to love about me than my handsome looks but ill point out my shiny coat, awesome pointy ears and a tail that winds up like a helicopter but most importantly I am a real sweet, friendly and fun boy that is always up for an adventure. I think I might be ok to live with children 10 and over or maybe even another medium or larger play buddy!

Gus (Bonded with Oran)

6 years old

Dog tolerant

This is Gus (green collar). He is Oran's emotional support boyfriend who she absolutely adores. Gus is a super outgoing boy who is always smiling and happy to see you! He is the first to meet you in the morning and loves cuddles. Unlike Oran who is an introvert, Gus is a massive extrovert! He has spent some time in an adoptive home and a foster home and he has done really well. Both Gus and Oran have been waiting a long time for their forever home and they would absolutely love to find a couch for Christmas. Have you got a Gus and Oran sized hole in your heart that needs filling? Gus and Oran will be looking for a quiet home with no children, but may be ok for full time workers. Gus is not cat tolerant.

Oran (bonded with Gus)

3 years old

Dog tolerant

Small dog tolerant

Oran (pink collar) is a super sweet but shy girl who has come along way since entering GAP. She has been out to foster care a couple of times so has some experience living in a home. She has bonded to Gus who is her emotional support friend, so they will be both looking for a home together. Oran is toilet trained, walks perfectly on the lead, and is super quiet. She knows how to walk up and down stairs well and travels nicely in the car. She does get worried in new situations and will be looking for a quiet home with no children as she finds them a bit scary! During her foster period, Oran has developed a liking for watching TV, so she hopes her forever home will have a double seater couch that she and her boyfriend Gus can sleep on and live her life in luxury. She may be happy to live with full time workers. Are you ready to fill that massive Gus and Oran sized hole in your heart? Oran is not cat tolerant.

Reindeer ARP

5 years old

Child tolerant

She may not be leading Santa’s sleigh like Rudolf but this quiet achiever is still just as important! She is a shy girl that we think will come out of her shell in a home that understands she just needs time to learn how to be a pet and patience to go at her pace. A quieter home with children 15 and over that are respectful of her boundaries maybe ok and somewhere with a nice yard that she can go and relax in. She may also benefit from a male friend that is medium or larger to help her transition into pet life. This lovely dog is not suitable for a home with cats.

Bellatrix

3 years old

Child tolerant

Bellatrix is a sweet, playful, and outgoing girl with a big personality and even bigger zoomies. She is affectionate, confident and full of puppy-like enthusiasm. Trixie has spent some time a home with one of our lovely foster carers and did very well learning all about pet life. We found out that Trixie loves her daily walks, she can easily walk around 5km, she loves humans and would rather not be left alone for long periods of time. She walks up and down stairs well and is pretty much toilet trained. Her naughty trait is she will drink out of your cup if you leave it on the coffee table. The foster carer says she is sweet, gentle and is a great dog, however, can get a little excited upon meeting new dogs. Bellatrix may suit a home with medium/large dogs for company and kids 10 and older. This spunky girl does require a backyard. If your after a social butterfly with plenty of spark, Bellatrix is your girl! Bellatrix has Third eyelid blepharitis (TEB) which is an immune-mediated disease of the third eyelids. It appears as red third eyelids.

Bing is a lovely friendly, personable boy who can have a soft side at times. He tries his hardest to please, but sometimes he can get a little overwhelmed.

He may be happy to live with a calm, polite dog of any size, though he may also be happy living as an only dog. Bing may be happy living with children aged 10 years and over.

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.
