Lulu ARP

3 years old

Child tolerant

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.

Honeybee ARP

2 years old

Small dog tolerant

Child tolerant

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.

Pershing ARP

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.

Little Ted

3 years old

No items found.
Little Ted has the cutest ears that you have ever seen, they sometimes go like they do in the photo, other times they stand on top of his head like a party hat. Little Ted is not little; he is an average size male greyhound. Little Ted is quite the introvert and is anxious and submissive to new people and environments, but we feel with time and patience from the owner, Little Ted will blossom into his true self. Little Ted may suit living with or without calm/respectful canine companion of similar size. Little Ted would be best suited to a home with a backyard. Due to his timidity, we think Little Ted would thrive best in a home without children and in a quiet neighbourhood/home.

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

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.

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.
