Just like his friendly counterpart, Barney, is a happy, friendly, affectionate and sweet boy that melts your heart when he looks up at you lovingly. He will be a family favourite and everyone will love hanging out with Barney! We think he may suit living with another companion medium in size or larger and children 5 and over.

This dog is part of our Assisted Rehoming Program (ARP). ARP dogs are kept with their racing owners until they find an adoptive home, at which point they are brought back into GAP. This means that should you be interested in adopting this dog, we are bringing the dog into GAP on the understanding that you will be adopting them. As such, you will not be able to meet any other dogs, as you otherwise would be able to.

Salma

4 years old

Salma is a delightful four-year-old girl who has blossomed into a confident, happy girl since beginning her journey through GAP (she has been in the program for around 200 days). After thriving in foster care home alongside her best greyhound buddy, Spyro, Salma has shown just how far she’s come—embracing life with enthusiasm and charm. Sweet, friendly, and wonderfully personable, she adores human connection, often seeking out eye contact and affection, and has a playful, puppyish spirit that’s impossible to resist. Whether she’s zooming around with excitement, “boot scooting” in sheer joy, or squeaking her favourite soft and rubber toys, Salma brings fun and warmth wherever she goes. In her day-to-day life, Salma is both practical and adaptable—she’s crate trained, toilet trained, and confidently navigates stairs and car trips, happily jumping in and out with ease. While she may start walks with a burst of excitement, she soon settles into a lovely rhythm on the lead. Salma would flourish in a home with a backyard and a canine companion of similar size—ideally her beloved Spyro, as their bond is truly special. With her affectionate nature and playful energy, she would be best suited to a home with teenage children who can match her lively spirit while giving her the love and companionship she deserves. Salma has completed some extra training in our onsite Behavioural Rehabilitation Program (BRP) and is now ready for adoption!

Wriggles

4 years old

Meet Wriggles — a gentle, laidback greyhound who has mastered the art of taking life easy. This friendly boy is happiest when he’s lounging nearby, soaking up the calm, and occasionally wandering over to lean affectionately into his favourite people. Wriggles has a relaxed, easygoing nature and a soft, sweet presence that makes him a joy to be around. Having completed behavioural rehabilitation training, he’s developed into a well-mannered companion who thrives in a peaceful, predictable environment where he can simply be himself (preferably somewhere comfy). Wriggles would suit a home with kids aged 5+ or adults who appreciate his quiet, “lazy Sunday” approach to life. He can happily live as an only dog or with a medium-to-large canine companion who shares his calm energy, but he isn’t suitable for homes with small dogs or cats. Due to his size and tendency to lean in close for affection, he’s not suited to living with elderly individuals. If you’re looking for a friendly, low-key companion who will happily keep you company and remind you to slow down and enjoy the simple things, Wriggles might just be your perfect match.

Elsie

3 years old

Elsie is a petite greyhound with a big personality and an even bigger heart. This affectionate, bouncy girl lives for fun—whether she’s bursting into joyful zoomies in the yard or gently nudging you for her favourite treats. Her quirky charm and enthusiastic spirit make her impossible not to love, and she thrives on companionship and routine. Elsie is best suited to a home with children aged 10+ or adults, where her lively nature and playful energy can truly shine. Elsie is looking for a home with space to stretch her legs, so no apartments please—she’ll be happiest with a secure yard where she can zoom to her heart’s content. She would do well as an only dog so she can soak up all the attention, or alongside a compatible medium to large dog. She is not cat-friendly and must go to a cat-free home. Due to her energetic nature, she isn’t suited to homes with elderly residents. She has had a previous injury to her right hock, and it is stable. She will benefit from some supplements for joints in her future. If you’re after a sweet, spirited companion who will keep you smiling every day, Elsie might just be your perfect match.
