Puddles

Cryptic

6 years old

Child tolerant

Small dog tolerant

Cryptic is a sweet, calm female greyhound whose charm reveals itself quietly, like a lovely secret waiting to be discovered. Polite and gentle by nature, she’s affectionate without being demanding, happy to share soft moments and relaxed company. Having spent time in foster care, Cryptic has shown she adapts well to home life and appreciates the simple comforts of routine, kindness, and a warm spot to rest. He has had a previous hock injury that has been surgically repaired. Cryptic would be well suited to a home with adults or children aged 5+, and she could live as an only dog or alongside a compatible canine companion. Her easy going nature makes her a peaceful presence, but she still enjoys connection and belonging with her people. If you’re looking for a greyhound whose quiet sweetness slowly works its way into your heart, Cryptic may be the perfect mystery to welcome home.

Billy

4 years old

No items found.
Hi I’m a Billy ! This is what my lovely foster carer said about me: It takes me about 2–3 weeks to settle in but once I do, you’ll be rewarded with a wagging tail (don’t expect wild zoomies… I’m more of a slow-burn guy) and sweet boy. I need outdoor space. This is non-negotiable. Why? Because like to make a spot in the yard to lay in and it makes me feel safe. One other thing I love is cooked chicken (without the bones!). I’m not a big eater, but treats are my love language. Pig’s ears = yes please. I would like a quiet, predictable home. No kids (they are scary), and I'd like to have the house to myself (other dogs, no thanks, this in my home!). A few more things about me: I don’t like the car yet, I unlocked my “I’m so comfortable” sleepy groans (this means I’m relaxed, not scary), I like my foster dad because I know him now (and he gives me the best ear scratches!) but strange men on the street make me a bit nervous. Big dogs that bark at me? Rude. I was minding my business. I am still a little scared of a couple things — noises, sudden movements, curtains being pulled (terrifying) — but I’m learning every single day. Despite my nerves, I’m actually very easy-going. I’m fine being home while you’re at work (more quality time to sleep in the yard!). I’d suit calm, patient, owners that can be full-time workers with outdoor space, realistic expectations, and a sense of humour. Love, Your future greyhound, Billy

Haley ARP

2 years old

Child tolerant

Cat tolerant

Small dog tolerant

Haley is a bright and affectionate young greyhound with a sweet, puppyish charm that shines through in everything she does. She absolutely loves being around her people and is always eager for a bit of attention or a gentle pat. While she can be a little anxious at times, Haley is a true people-pleaser at heart and is always trying her best to do the right thing. With reassurance and a consistent routine, her confidence continues to grow, making her a lovely companion for adults or families with children aged 5 and over. Due to her sensitive nature, she wouldn’t be suited to a home with elderly residents. Haley could thrive as an only dog where she can soak up all the love and attention, but she may also do well with a calm, polite canine companion who can help guide her and build her confidence. There is potential for her to live with cats, pending proper introductions. With patience, understanding, and a nurturing home, Haley will reward her family with endless affection and loyal companionship, quickly becoming a cherished member of the household.

William ARP

Small dog tolerant

Child tolerant

Isn’t he just handsome! William is for sure a looker but under that stunning coat is a soft, sweet but shy young man that will need sometime and patience in his new home whilst he learns the lay of the land. He may do best in a quiet and predicable home that will let him come out of his shell in his own time. William will do best with a home that has a yard for him to relax in whilst he transitions as a pet and maybe another a dog of any size. If there are children in the home, then respectful teens (15 and over) would be better for him. Will you be sweet William’s forever home?

Posy

7 years old

Child tolerant

Posy is a friendly, outgoing, and confident female greyhound with a wonderfully personable nature. She enjoys engaging with people and carries herself with an easy confidence that makes her a pleasure to be around.

Jerry

4 years old

Child tolerant

Small dog tolerant

Jerry is a gorgeous greyhound with a heart as big as his smile. Sweet, friendly, and happily outgoing, Jerry loves being around his people and soaks up affection like a pro. He’s a bit adorably uncoordinated and doesn’t always know where his long legs are going, which only adds to his charm. Jerry would thrive in a home with adults or confident kids aged 5+, where there’s plenty of room for him to stretch out and enjoy life. Jerry is best suited as the only dog, or with a calm, compatible dog friend who appreciates his gentle nature. Because of his size and clumsiness, he’s not suited to homes with elderly or frail people or older, delicate dogs. Jerry cannot live with cats, and apartment living isn’t a good match for him—he’ll be happiest in a secure home with space to move. If you’re looking for an affectionate, happy greyhound to share your days (and your couch), Jerry might be your perfect match.

Snoopy

Snoopy is a happy, affectionate boy with a big personality to match. He’s sweet, friendly, outgoing, and confident, always ready to say hello and lean in for some love. He can be a little boisterous and excitable at times, but that just adds to his charm. Snoopy has a quirky side and a fun nature, making him an enjoyable companion to have around. Snoopy thrives on attention and enjoys being close to his people, happily leaning into you for pats whenever he gets the chance. He has also successfully completed a behavioural rehabilitation program, which has helped him continue to grow into the wonderful dog he is today. Snoopy may suit a home as an only dog where he can soak up all the attention, or potentially with medium to large dogs. He may also be suitable to live with children 10+. Due to his excitable nature, Snoopy will need a secure, enclosed backyard set away from high levels of stimulation, where he can relax and feel comfortable. Snoopy has had a hock fracture, prior to coming into GAP. He had hardware in place, which we have removed whilst in our care.

This quiet boy is friendly, personable, and loves a bit of affectionate, often leaning into people for comfort. While he can be a little cautious at times, he takes things at his own pace and builds trust beautifully. We think Julian will be best in a home with a canine companion; he will suit a home with medium or large dogs. He also may suit a household with children aged 10+.

Peter is a friendly, outgoing, and confident male greyhound who loves meeting people and being part of the action.

Peter is best suited to a home with adults or children aged 10 and up. He can live as an only dog or with a medium to large canine companion but is not suitable for homes with cats or small dogs.

Alice is a stunning female greyhound with an outgoing personality to match her looks. She’s a confident, extroverted girl who loves being part of the action and greeting the world with enthusiasm. Alice is excitable and a little impulsive at times, which only adds to her charm—she’s the type of dog who wears her heart on her sleeve. She would thrive in a home with adults or children aged 10+, where her lively nature and playful energy can be appreciated and guided. Alice would be best suited as an only dog, or with a calm medium to large canine companion who can handle her confident style. She is not cat friendly and will need a securely fenced backyard to burn off her energy and relax afterwards—apartment living isn’t for her. Due to her strength, excitement, and enthusiasm for life, she’s not suitable for elderly adopters. In the right home, Alice will be a devoted, entertaining, and affectionate companion who brings joy and personality in equal measure.
