Watch video
Lad is a gentle soul with a loving heart. This quiet, calm greyhound enjoys a relaxed lifestyle and is happiest spending time with his people, soaking up affection and enjoying the comfort of a peaceful home. Although Lad is blind, he navigates life with quiet determination and, with patience and support, forms strong bonds with those who earn his trust. His sweet nature and easy-going temperament make him a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loyal and affectionate friend. Lad is seeking a special home with adults or children aged 10 years and over who can provide the understanding and consistency he needs. He could happily live as an only dog or with a compatible canine companion and may also suit a home with a cat. Because of his blindness, Lad will benefit from a secure environment and owners committed to helping him build confidence through routine and guidance. He is not suited to apartment living and would thrive in a home where he has space to relax and feel secure. If you're looking for a kind-hearted greyhound who will reward your care with unwavering devotion, Lad is ready to find his forever family. Lad has PRA which affects his eyes. He has very limited vision and will eventually go completely blind. His strong sense of smell and hearing help him with his day-to-day life, and he's such a bright friendly boy. Lad also has diabetes, which is controlled with daily medication.

Peter

7 years old

Peter is a friendly, outgoing, and confident male greyhound who loves meeting people and being part of the action. He has spent time in foster care, where he has thrived in a home environment, learning to walk well on lead, becoming toilet trained, and showing just how easy-going he can be. Peter is equally happy spending much of his day snoozing and relaxing, making him a wonderfully settled companion around the home. His enthusiastic personality makes him a fun and engaging companion for adopters who enjoy an interactive dog with plenty of character. Peter has a previous toe injury, which has resolved whilst at GAP. He also has pannus, which is controlled with daily eye drops, which he is such a good boy to medicate! Peter is best suited to a home with adults or children aged 10 and up. He can live as an only dog or with a medium to large canine companion but is not suitable for homes with cats or small dogs. Due to his size, he is not recommended for homes with elderly residents. With a loving and committed household, Peter will thrive and become a loyal and rewarding lifelong companion. Peter had a dislocated toe prior to GAP entry. He bears weight on this limb and the toe is stable and not causing pain. He also has an autoimmune eye condition called Pannus, which is well controlled with daily eye drops.

Jed

4 years old

Jed is a handsome and affectionate greyhound with a sweet, friendly nature and a real love of people. Personable and easy to spend time with, he enjoys being close to his handlers and has an endearing habit of leaning gently against you for comfort and companionship. With his kind heart and loving personality, Jed quickly wins over everyone he meets. While Jed is generally social, he can sometimes feel a little worried around unfamiliar breeds of dog, so he would benefit from thoughtful introductions and would be best avoiding off-lead parks or busy areas where dogs may rush up to him. He may suit living with polite dogs of any size who will respect his space and could also be a wonderful companion for a family with children aged 10+ years and older. With understanding and support, Jed will reward his new family with loyalty, affection and plenty of gentle cuddles. Jed also may suit living with a feline friend due to his placid nature and has shown lovely interactions with them.

Quanto

7 years old

Meet Quanto, a handsome male greyhound with a friendly, outgoing personality and a real love for human company. He’s easy to handle, enjoys his walks, and absolutely thrives on gentle attention—especially a good scratch behind the ears or along his back. Quanto has recently completed a prison foster program, where he did a fantastic job polishing up his manners and settling into home life, making him a well-adjusted and rewarding companion. With his calm nature and affectionate temperament, he may be a wonderful match for an older adopter or someone looking for a relaxed, low-maintenance friend, and he could also adapt well to apartment living. Quanto would do best in a home that understands his needs. He does experience sleep startle, so a child-free household is essential to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. He can live happily as an only dog, soaking up all the attention, or with a compatible medium to large dog companion. With the right environment and a loving owner, Quanto is ready to bring warmth, companionship, and plenty of gentle affection into his forever home.

5 years old

Meet Bond, a handsome greyhound with a big personality and a zest for life. Friendly, outgoing, and always ready for adventure, he loves meeting people, zooming around the yard, and bringing fun to every day. Bond is looking for an active home with children aged 5 years and over. He may suit life as an only dog or with a playful medium to large canine companion, but he cannot live with cats. Due to his enthusiastic nature, a home with elderly people would not be suitable. Bond also has a benign condition called fibrous gingival hyperplasia, a harmless thickening of the gums identified during a dental procedure in August 2026. If you're looking for a loyal, energetic companion with a licence for fun, Bond could be your perfect match. When Bond had his dental done in August 2026 areas of gum thickening were noted and biopsies taken. Results showed fibrous gingival hyperplasia, with is a benign thickening of the gums.

Spyro

4 years old

Meet Spyro—LEGENDARY SPYRO, a name that truly reflects his larger‑than‑life charm. At four years old, this handsome greyhound carries himself with a quiet confidence, balancing a calm and easy going nature with a wonderfully social and outgoing personality. Spyro is the kind of dog who wins hearts instantly—affectionate, personable, and always ready to lean in close to his handler for a cuddle or a well‑deserved scratch (especially on his favourite spot—his rump!). While mostly polite on lead, his playful spirit shines through at home, where he loves toys, exploring new surroundings, and investigating the world by gently nudging or moving anything that catches his curiosity. Spyro can get pressure sores on his elbows, so needs to have nice soft bedding. Spyro has already proven himself to be a fantastic companion, having spent time in foster care with his greyhound friend Salma. He thrives in the company of other dogs and would do best in a home with a canine friend of similar size, as well as children aged 10 and over. On warm days, Spyro has his own unique way of keeping cool—standing happily in a shell pool like the legendary character he is. With his sweet nature, playful energy, and love of both people and pups, LEGENDARY SPYRO is ready to write the next chapter of his story with a family who will adore him just as much as he will adore them. Spyro has successfully completed some extra training with out onsite Behavioural Rehabilitation Program (BRP) and is now ready for adoption!

Hendrix

3 years old

Meet Hendrix, a true rockstar with a big personality and an even bigger heart. This extroverted greyhound loves being part of the action and charms everyone he meets with his quirky, affectionate nature. Always ready to make a connection, Hendrix is known for seeking out eye contact with his people, as if he's checking in to make sure you're enjoying the show as much as he is.

Nike is back from her foster home and is now ready for adoption!
