Lara ARP

4 years old

Small dog tolerant

Little miss Lara is a little shy with new people and dogs, but with time and experience she may gain her confidence. She is fairly quiet and an introvert, Lara would likely not enjoy going to busy places like markets or busy cafes. Lara may suit living with or without a calm/placid canine friend of any size and older children aged in their teens. She will likely flourish best in a quiet home and neighbourhood. Sorry Lara would not suit living in an apartment.

Nancy

8 years old

Child tolerant

Apartment living

Nancy is another one of our lovely older ladies that is available for adoption. She is a calm and polite lady that has short stints of playfulness then is happy to sleep the day away. She enjoys treats and toys, especially those that squeak! She doesn't enjoy long walks but is happy to have a short stroll around the block, sometimes needing encouragement to keep going! Nancy has successfully completed further training in our onsite behavioural rehabilitation program (BRP) and is now ready for adoption. Nancy may suit living with or without a canine brother of similar size and children aged 5 years and older. Due to her lazy nature, she may suit living in an apartment too.

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!

Shadow

5 years old

No items found.
Check out that head tilt—how cute is he? Shadow is an affectionate pup who loves attention but is just as happy to relax on his own. Recently, he graduated from our Prison Partnership Program, where he spent four weeks learning essential life skills to help him thrive in his new home. Shadow has a unique feature that makes him extra special: his tail is quite short! Why? Because he’s such a happy guy that he wagged it a little too enthusiastically into things he shouldn’t have. We think it adds to his charm! Shadow would do best in a calm, adult-only home, as loud environments aren’t his favorite. He might also enjoy living with another medium or large dog—provided they’re sturdy enough to handle his goofy bursts of energy. A secure backyard is a must for this playful boy! This dog 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.

Meet Clover, a bubbly and outgoing greyhound who's full of energy and enthusiasm! This playful girl loves to have fun, whether that means chasing toys or running around with her favourite friends. Clover's excitable nature means she needs plenty of exercise and playtime to keep her happy and healthy. Clover's looking for a household with or without kids aged 10+, where she can be the only dog or live with a medium to large dog companion.

If you're an active family or individual looking for a fun-loving companion to join your adventures, Clover might be the perfect fit!

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.
