Ben is a super sweet, highly intelligent, and gentle soul who is looking for a quiet, patient home where he can truly come out of his shell. He is a shy and anxious boy who is cautious around new people and slow to bond, but for the right person, the reward is immeasurable — once he trusts you, he is deeply affectionate, loving, and playful. His foster carer describes him nuzzling in for cuddles, licking hands, and snuggling close. He does best with a calm, consistent presence and will need an owner (or owners) who are gentle and willing to give him the time he needs to feel safe. He would likely suit a quiet home with older, teenage children, and is happy to live with a calm, polite dog of any size, having bonded beautifully with his foster carer’s small older dog. Once Ben feels secure, his personality truly blossoms. He loves squeaky toys, adores a big plush toy to cuddle up with, and will happily do zoomies around the backyard or chase a toy when he’s comfortable in your company. He is a fast learner — picking up toilet boundaries quickly with gentle guidance — and he settled well with a dedicated safe space of his own, like a large pen, which he never soiled and always retreated to happily. He sleeps through the night and will let you know when he needs to go outside. He is a strong dog on the lead, so a physically confident walker is ideal. He is not a fussy eater but eats best when he feels relaxed and safe. Ben is a truly special dog, and the right patient, gentle home will be so lucky to have him.

Tiger

6 years old

Oh Sweet Tiger, you are such a gentle soul that wants nothing more than a patient home and lifetime supply of twiggy sticks and ear rubs. Tiger has come a long way since starting his GAP journey and recently came back from foster care where he learnt a lot of new things and found some confidence in his time. Tiger has come back with a newfound confidence, and we are so thrilled how far he has come, whilst he still has times where he is unsure, he tries his very best. We think Tiger may suit living in a home with or without another dog medium or larger and children 15 and over. He will do best in a home with a backyard in a nice quiet area as loud noises and lots of traffic are still very scary for him. Tiger may suit living with full time workers. Tiger has anxiety and is on medication to help with this.

Moro

5 years old

No items found.
Moro is a friendly, outgoing greyhound who approaches life with confidence and curiosity. He enjoys meeting new people, taking in his surroundings, and being part of the daily routine, while still maintaining the independent nature that greyhounds are known for. Moro is a relaxed and self-assured boy who is happy to spend time with his family but is equally content entertaining himself and enjoying some quiet downtime. Moro is seeking an adult-only home where he can continue to thrive and enjoy a stable lifestyle. He is not suited to living with children or elderly residents. Moro could be placed as an only dog, where he can enjoy all the attention to himself, or with a compatible medium to large dog following a successful introduction. Having successfully completed behavioural rehabilitation, Moro is ready for a fresh start with an adopter who understands his needs and will support his ongoing progress. Due to his history, he cannot live with small dogs, cats, or other small animals. With the right home, Moro will make a loyal and rewarding companion.

Maui

5 years old

Maui is a confident, outgoing boy who is personable and affectionate. Maui has been a pet before but unfortunately came back to us through no fault of his own. Maui would love to be back in a lovely home again to live out the rest of his years. We think he may suit living with another medium or larger companion and children 10+ years old. Maui has dry eyes, and is on daily eye drops to help with this.

Russia

7 years old

Meet Russia, a sweet and affectionate greyhound whose zest for life is guaranteed to make you smile. This enthusiastic girl loves a good zoomie session and has a wonderfully goofy nature that brings plenty of fun and laughter to her day. Russia is still working on her manners and can get a little carried away when excitement takes over, so she'll do best in a home with children aged 10+ or adults who can help guide her as she learns. She could happily live as an only dog or with a canine companion, and may even suit a cat-friendly home. Russia is not suited to apartment living and would love a home with space to stretch her legs, share her affection, and show off her joyful personality.

Scooby

6 years old

Everyone needs a Scooby-doo in their life! He is fun-loving, happy, bouncy extrovert that is ready to Scooby doo-bee-do! We think this handsome boy would be ok with a family with children 15 and over and ready to play and also another medium or larger canine friend. No apartments for this boy as he cant wait to show you his zoomies and play in the yard. No elderly or frail dogs or people either as he is still learning how to control his enthusiasm to life.
