Berlin

4 years old

Child tolerant

Small dog tolerant

Berlin is a quiet and thoughtful greyhound with a cautious, independent nature. He can be a little aloof at first, preferring to observe the world from a comfortable distance while he builds trust in his own time. Berlin isn’t demanding of attention, but he appreciates calm companionship and a predictable routine. His gentle presence makes him well suited to a peaceful home environment. Berlin would thrive in a home with adults or children aged 10+ who understand and respect his need for space. He would be happiest as an only dog or living with a calm canine companion, and he is not cat friendly. With patience and understanding, Berlin will reward his adopters with quiet loyalty and the special bond that comes from earning the trust of a reserved soul.

Boofa

4 years old

Child tolerant

Boofa is a sweet, handsome brindle boy who wins hearts wherever he goes. He’s a social and affectionate greyhound who enjoys being part of the action and spending time with his people. Boofa has a gentle nature, loves attention, and is happiest when he’s included as a true family member. Like many greyhounds, he’s still building confidence on slippery floors, so rugs or mats in key areas will help him feel secure as he settles in. Boofa would suit a home with children aged 5+ or adults, where his calm and friendly personality can really shine. He’s best placed as an only dog or with a medium to large canine companion, and he’s not suitable for a home with cats. With the right setup and a loving household, Boofa will return your kindness with endless affection and quiet companionship.

Meet Chandler, no he isn't like the Chandler from friends, he is quite the oposite really.

Dancer

Meet the gorgeous lady, Dancer! Don't let her name full you, she isn't that Dancer on the podium up the front, she is the shy and cautious dancer at the back.

We feel with time and the correct exposure she will gain some confidence with other dog breeds. She may suit living with or without a calm/placid dog of similar size (preferably a greyhound) and children aged 10 years and older. Sorry no apartments for this lovely lady.

Paisley

6 years old

Child tolerant

Cat tolerant

Small dog tolerant

This is Paisley, yes, she may be 6 and a half years old but that doesn't stop this pretty girl from acting like a puppy! As soon as you meet her you are guaranteed to fall completely in love with her, she has a contagious happy demeanour that you can't help to smile back at her. She loves nothing more than hanging with her people and getting all the attention. She is quite an active girl and will likely require a home that has a back yard that she can run and play in. She may be OK to live with a dog tolerant cat. Whilst in out care, Paisley has had extensive dental work done, due to "CUPS". Pasiley is a little gummy shark, but this doesn't let it slow her down.

Pogo

3 years old

Child tolerant

Meet Pogo, a handsome male greyhound with a big personality to match his long legs. He’s friendly, outgoing and wonderfully quirky, always ready to greet you with enthusiasm and charm. Pogo is still learning his manners and can be a bit boisterous, so he’ll thrive with confident handlers who can continue his training and help him become his best self. Pogo is best suited to a household with teens 15+ or adults, and he’ll need a secure backyard where he can stretch out and play. He can live as an only dog or with a robust medium to large canine companion, but he’s not suitable for homes with cats, apartments, or elderly residents. With the right environment and guidance, Pogo will reward you with loyalty, laughs, and plenty of greyhound love. Pogo has had irritable bowel syndrome while in our care at GAP. We have had much improvement using a specialty diet, with "inside out" powder on his food. This should be continued into his new home.

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.
