Hi I’m a Billy ! This is what my lovely foster carer said about me: It takes me about 2–3 weeks to settle in but once I do, you’ll be rewarded with a wagging tail (don’t expect wild zoomies… I’m more of a slow-burn guy) and sweet boy. I need outdoor space. This is non-negotiable. Why? Because like to make a spot in the yard to lay in and it makes me feel safe. One other thing I love is cooked chicken (without the bones!). I’m not a big eater, but treats are my love language. Pig’s ears = yes please. I would like a quiet, predictable home. No kids (they are scary), and I'd like to have the house to myself (other dogs, no thanks, this in my home!). A few more things about me: I don’t like the car yet, I unlocked my “I’m so comfortable” sleepy groans (this means I’m relaxed, not scary), I like my foster dad because I know him now (and he gives me the best ear scratches!) but strange men on the street make me a bit nervous. Big dogs that bark at me? Rude. I was minding my business. I am still a little scared of a couple things — noises, sudden movements, curtains being pulled (terrifying) — but I’m learning every single day. Despite my nerves, I’m actually very easy-going. I’m fine being home while you’re at work (more quality time to sleep in the yard!). I’d suit calm, patient, owners that can be full-time workers with outdoor space, realistic expectations, and a sense of humour. Love, Your future greyhound, Billy

Cryptic

6 years old

Cryptic is a sweet, calm female greyhound whose charm reveals itself quietly, like a lovely secret waiting to be discovered. Polite and gentle by nature, she’s affectionate without being demanding, happy to share soft moments and relaxed company. Having spent time in foster care, Cryptic has shown she adapts well to home life and appreciates the simple comforts of routine, kindness, and a warm spot to rest. He has had a previous hock injury that has been surgically repaired. Cryptic would be well suited to a home with adults or children aged 5+, and she could live as an only dog or alongside a compatible canine companion. Her easy going nature makes her a peaceful presence, but she still enjoys connection and belonging with her people. If you’re looking for a greyhound whose quiet sweetness slowly works its way into your heart, Cryptic may be the perfect mystery to welcome home.

Haley ARP

2 years old

Haley is a bright and affectionate young greyhound with a sweet, puppyish charm that shines through in everything she does. She absolutely loves being around her people and is always eager for a bit of attention or a gentle pat. While she can be a little anxious at times, Haley is a true people-pleaser at heart and is always trying her best to do the right thing. With reassurance and a consistent routine, her confidence continues to grow, making her a lovely companion for adults or families with children aged 5 and over. Due to her sensitive nature, she wouldn’t be suited to a home with elderly residents. Haley could thrive as an only dog where she can soak up all the love and attention, but she may also do well with a calm, polite canine companion who can help guide her and build her confidence. There is potential for her to live with cats, pending proper introductions. With patience, understanding, and a nurturing home, Haley will reward her family with endless affection and loyal companionship, quickly becoming a cherished member of the household.

William ARP

2 years old

Isn’t he just handsome! William is for sure a looker but under that stunning coat is a soft, sweet but shy young man that will need sometime and patience in his new home whilst he learns the lay of the land. He may do best in a quiet and predicable home that will let him come out of his shell in his own time. William will do best with a home that has a yard for him to relax in whilst he transitions as a pet and maybe another a dog of any size. If there are children in the home, then respectful teens (15 and over) would be better for him. Will you be sweet William’s forever home?

Harley

3 years old

Meet Harley, a lovely female greyhound with a gentle soul and a big heart. She’s sweet, personable, and truly affectionate, often seeking out eye contact to connect with her people. Harley enjoys being close and will happily soak up attention, making her a wonderful companion for someone who wants a dog that bonds deeply and thrives on human interaction. Harley is best suited to a home with adults or children aged 10+, as she’s still polishing her manners and can be a bit enthusiastic at times—so no elderly household members, please. She would do well as an only dog or with a calm medium‑to‑large canine companion, but she cannot live with cats. With a little guidance and consistency, Harley will shine in the right home and reward her family with endless affection and devotion.
