Meet Professor Paws — a quiet, sensible gentleman who prefers thoughtful observation over the hustle and bustle of daily life. True to his distinguished name, he carries himself with a calm, reserved presence and an independent spirit. While he may not be the life of the party, Professor Paws has a subtle charm that grows on you — the kind of companion who chooses his moments for affection carefully, making them all the more meaningful. Having completed behavioural rehabilitation training, he has developed excellent self-control and thrives in a structured, low-key environment. Professor Paws would suit a home with adults or kids aged 10+ who can respect his introverted nature and give him the space he needs to feel comfortable. He can live happily as an only dog or alongside a medium-to-large canine companion who shares his calm demeanor. Due to his history, he is not suitable for homes with small dogs or cats, and he isn’t suited to living with elderly individuals. His quiet, independent personality may also make him well suited to apartment living. If you’re looking for a dignified, low-maintenance companion who values peace and gentle companionship, Professor Paws may be the perfect addition to your home. Professor Paws had a corn in our care, which we treated with a flexor tenotomy. The corn and the pain associated has resolved.

Kirsty

7 years old

Kirsty is a beautiful greyhound with an even more beautiful nature. She’s a sweet, friendly girl who loves being around people and quickly charms everyone she meets. Social and personable, Kirsty enjoys sharing her day with her humans and is happiest when she’s included in family life. Affectionate without being demanding, Kirsty loves gentle pats, quiet companionship, and relaxed time at home. She has an easygoing temperament that may suit a home with children aged 5 years and over, making her a lovely addition to a family environment. Kirsty may also suit full-time workers, as she’s content to enjoy her downtime and relax at home while you’re away, then greet you with a happy tail when you return. With her calm nature and loving heart, Kirsty is ready to make herself right at home and be a loyal, loving companion. Kirsty has a low-grade heart murmur, which doesn't required any medicating and doesn't affect her day-to-day life.

Wally now Rex

4 years old

Meet the big goofy dog, Wally! You won't ever be heard saying "Where's Wally" as he will always be right by your side as loyal as ever. Plus, he is too big to lose sight of him! Even though Wally is big, he is quite a polite and sweet boy, who is like a cuddly teddy bear. Wal may suit living with or without a playful robust pal of any size and children aged 10 years and older. We feel as long as he gets his daily physical (walks) and mental (enrichment) needs met, he may be OK to live in an apartment! Good boy Wally!

Rashid

3 years old

Rashid (or 'Sheedy' to his friends) is a sweet little soul who is looking for a calm, understanding home where he can feel safe and loved. While he can be anxious and cautious at times, Rashid truly does try his best, and once he settles into a routine he becomes a lovely, gentle companion. He’s a submissive boy who enjoys the comfort of his bed, the company of other dogs, and the predictability of daily life. In his previous home, he proved himself to be a perfect gentleman indoors. He can be wary of new people at first, but with patience (and a tasty treat or two) he warms up and settles nicely. Rashid thrives with routine and feels most comfortable in a quiet home and neighbourhood where life is calm and predictable. Despite his worries, there is something incredibly special about Rashid. He is looking for a home with dog company (small, medium or large dogs), he may suit a family with children 10+. Rashid needs a quiet home environment, and would love a backyard. Rashid has had a hock fracture repaired prior to entry to GAP. He puts full weight on this limb and the hock is stable. Although the hock has been repaired and managed there is increased risk of developing osteoarthritis in the future.

Rosa Diaz

3 years old

Meet Rosa Diaz — a force of nature wrapped in a sleek Greyhound frame, with a personality as bold and dynamic as her name suggests. This outgoing, affectionate girl is equal parts charm and chaos, bringing puppyish energy to everything she does. Rosa doesn’t do “idle” — she’s always on the move, eager to explore, play, and be right in the middle of the action. Her enthusiasm is infectious, and while she can be a little excitable and boofy, it’s all part of her irresistible character. Having completed behavioural rehabilitation training, Rosa has made fantastic progress, but she’ll still need a confident handler committed to continuing her manners and helping her channel that energy positively. Rosa Diaz is best suited to a home with adults or families with children aged 10+, where her high energy and lively nature can be properly supported — she’s not suited to homes with elderly individuals. She must be the only dog, or could live with a calm, medium to large canine companion, but no small dogs or cats. Apartment living isn’t right for Rosa; she needs a secure backyard where she can stretch her legs and burn off steam. In the right home, Rosa will be fiercely loyal, endlessly entertaining, and a wonderfully affectionate companion who keeps life exciting.

Gozleme

3 years old

Meet Gozleme, a very handsome male greyhound with a warm, puppyish charm—much like the comfort food he’s named after. He’s affectionate and engaging, often seeking eye contact to connect with his people, and his playful side shines through when he bursts into joyful zoomies. Gozleme can be a little submissive at times, adding to his endearing, gentle nature, and he thrives on positive interaction and encouragement. Gozleme would do best in a home with adults or children aged 10+, where there are no elderly residents, as his enthusiasm and playfulness can be a bit much at times. He’s suited to a house rather than an apartment, and would be happy as an only dog or with a compatible canine companion. He may also suit a cat‑friendly home. With the right environment, Gozleme will be a perfectly balanced blend of sweetness, spice, and lovable energy. THIS LOVELY GREYHOUND WILL BE AVAILABLE AT OUR DOUBLE THE LOVE ADOPTION EVENT ON SUNDAY 31ST MAY - HE WILL BE AT THE SANDOWN VENUE!

Petal

8 years old

Petal is a stunning black female greyhound with a beautiful nature to match. She is sweet, social, and delightfully friendly, always happy to greet people with her outgoing and personable charm. Petal adores human company and is an affectionate girl who loves gentle pats, cuddles, and being part of the action. Confident and easygoing, Petal is a pleasure to take out and is well mannered on lead, making daily walks relaxed and enjoyable. Her calm nature also means she may suit apartment living, so long as she gets her regular outings and some quality time with her people. Petal’s gentle and loving personality may make her a great fit for a family with children aged 5 years and over. If you’re looking for a friendly, affectionate greyhound who bonds easily and settles in well, Petal could be the perfect companion to welcome into your home.

Brae ARP

4 years old

Brae is a pretty little girl with a quiet and sweet nature. She’s personable and loves her pats, leaning into affection once she feels safe. Brae can be a little stress at times and is submissive, so she’s looking for a calm, understanding home where she can relax and build her confidence. She would thrive as an only dog but may be suitable to live with medium or large dogs, she also may be suitable to live with kids10+. Because Brae is a little stress at times, she would suit a quiet neighbourhood.

‍
This dog is part of our Assisted Rehoming Program (ARP). We have behavioural and health assessed this lovely dog, and they will remain with their racing owners until they find an adoptive home, at which point they are brought back into GAP.

BJ

4 years old

BJ is a striking white and fawn greyhound with both good looks and an even better personality. Sweet, pretty, and undeniably handsome, he has a friendly and outgoing nature that makes him a joy to be around. BJ is wonderfully personable and quickly charms everyone he meets with his gentle confidence and warm enthusiasm. Affectionate by nature, BJ loves being close to his people and often shows this by leaning in against his handler—a classic greyhound sign of trust and love. He enjoys attention, connection, and being part of the action, while still having that laid‑back greyhound calm that makes him easy to live with. BJ may suit a home with children aged 5 years and over, and his relaxed, settled temperament means he could also suit full‑time workers, provided his needs for companionship and routine are met. He’s the kind of dog who will happily greet you at the end of the day, ready to share cuddles and companionship. BJ has had x-rays and there is mild swelling over the right hind metatarsal area, possibly an old, healed fracture. THIS LOVELY GREYHOUND WILL BE AVAILABLE AT OUR DOUBLE THE LOVE ADOPTION EVENT ON SUNDAY 31ST MAY - HE WILL BE AT THE SANDOWN VENUE!
