Pirate

6 years old

Child tolerant

Small dog tolerant

Pirate is SMIRKING with excitement that he may be finding his very own home soon. He has cute ears that don't know which way they want to sit, as you can see by his profile pic. He adores everyone and anyone and will do just about anything for a treat! He is on the smaller side for a male greyhound. He will likely do best in a home with or without a canine pal of any size and children aged 10 years and older. He will likely enjoy and appreciate a home with a backyard so he can do his daily zoomies in. THIS LOVELY DOG WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION AT OUR UPCOMING RSPCA ADOPTION DAY ON SATURDAY 21ST FEB!

Lobster

4 years old

Child tolerant

How handsome is sweet Lobster! You will be pinching yourself when you meet him as he is such a beautiful soul. He has a big personality, big body and big heart that you will think has "Exploded" all over you when you meet him. Lobster has been with GAP for a couple months learning lots of things about how to be his best self and is now ready to take his skills out into the real world. We think he will do best in a home that has a friendly dog companion medium or larger to do life with as long as they are respectful when he needs his down time or when he is enjoying his food. A household that is understanding of his little quirks and will continue to work with his skill building would be his perfect home. He may suit children that are 15 and over.

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.

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.
