Hershey

2 years old

Meet Hershey, a sweet and handsome fawn greyhound with a penchant for zoomies 😊. This cautious boy's got a playful streak and loves to get active, but he needs time to warm up to new things. Hershey's a great fit for an active household where he can get plenty of exercise and attention. Hershey suits households with kids 10+ or adults who can keep up with his energetic vibe – no elderly or apartments, please! He needs a backyard to stretch his legs and a medium to large dog companion if he's not the only dog. No cats, thanks! If you're looking for a fun-loving, loyal companion who's always up for a chocolatey good time, Hershey's your guy!

Passionfruit

6 years old

Passionfruit is just as adorable as her name is. She is unique in that she was born with a shorter tail than most of her greyhound pals. She is sweet, friendly and can act like a puppy at times even though she is 6 years old. She does settle down after her initial excitement. Passionfruit may suit living with or without a robust canine brother of similar size and children aged 10 years and older. Whilst in our care, Passionfruit had an infected vulva which we have treated with antibiotics, and the infection cleared up.

Amber

6 years old

Meet Amber, a sweet and puppyish greyhound with a gentle spirit 😊. This affectionate girl loves people and is always up for a snuggle, but she's a bit of a homebody – no kids, please. Amber's happy to be the only dog or live with a medium to large dog who shares her gentle vibe. Poor Amber's got a broken heart, literally – she's got subaortic stenosis and needs meds for life, but don't let that scare you! 😔 She's a low-maintenance girl who just needs her Atenolol twice daily (it's inexpensive, btw). No long walks for this lady, just chill time and snuggles. Despite her condition, Amber's a loving companion who'll bring joy to your life – she's worth it, trust us! 🐾 If you're looking for a sweet friend, Amber's the one.

Stacey

4 years old

Meet Stacey and her muscular chest! Stacey and her ears are just adorable, they flop all over the place. Stacey can be a bit unsure in new situations and new environments, but it doesn't take her long to settle. On warm days, Stacey's favourite thing is to lay in water in a shell pool. On the not so hot days, Stacey enjoys a game of fetch, and she will actually drop the ball at your feet for you to throw it again! For people that don't know greyhounds, this is a rarity for them! Stacey has successfully completed further training in our onsite behavioural rehabilitation program (BRP) and is now ready for adoption. Stacey may do best living in a home as an only dog and children aged 10 years and older. Stacey has had an old Right forelimb injury and Left hindlimb stress fracture along the hock prior to GAP entry. She bears weight on these limbs and both limbs are stable.
