Puddles

5 years old

Puddles is not only gorgeous but after his initial enthusiasm and excitement, he settles down and is quite a chilled dog. He is a friendly boy to all he meets. Puddles loves travelling in the car and is up for many road trips with his family. Puddles may suit living with or without a canine pal of medium/large in size and children aged 10 years and older. Sorry no apartments for Puddles.

Snoopy

3 years old

No items found.
Snoopy is a happy, affectionate boy with a big personality to match. He’s sweet, friendly, outgoing, and confident, always ready to say hello and lean in for some love. He can be a little boisterous and excitable at times, but that just adds to his charm. Snoopy has a quirky side and a fun nature, making him an enjoyable companion to have around. Snoopy thrives on attention and enjoys being close to his people, happily leaning into you for pats whenever he gets the chance. He has also successfully completed a behavioural rehabilitation program, which has helped him continue to grow into the wonderful dog he is today. Snoopy may suit a home as an only dog where he can soak up all the attention, or potentially with medium to large dogs. He may also be suitable to live with children 10+. Due to his excitable nature, Snoopy will need a secure, enclosed backyard set away from high levels of stimulation, where he can relax and feel comfortable. Snoopy has had a hock fracture, prior to coming into GAP. He had hardware in place, which we have removed whilst in our care.

Julian

5 years old

Julian might not come with a crown, but he definitely has a little "King Julian" energy - just without the chaos. This quiet boy is friendly, personable, and loves a bit of affectionate, often leaning into people for comfort. While he can be a little cautious at times, he takes things at his own pace and builds trust beautifully. We think Julian will be best in a home with a canine companion; he will suit a home with medium or large dogs. He also may suit a household with children aged 10+.

Lucy

5 years old

This gorgeous black greyhound is as sweet as they come. She’s a personable, affectionate soul who loves being around her people and will happily soak up pats, praise, and gentle company. With her soft eyes and waggy enthusiasm, she tries her very best to please and thrives on kind encouragement. She still has a lovely puppyish side and isn’t shy about showing it — zoomies are a favourite pastime! Playful and fun-loving, she enjoys having space to stretch her long legs and would love a home where that joyful energy can shine. On the flip side, she’s naturally submissive and gentle, making her an easy companion who responds well to guidance. Lucy has had a tendon injury prior to GAP entry. She bears weight on this limb and the hock is stable. She can be a little anxious at times, especially in new situations, but her willingness to try and her trusting nature really stand out. With reassurance and routine, her confidence continues to grow. She walks nicely on lead and enjoys getting out and about with her person by her side. She may suit a family with respectful children aged 10+, who understand when to give her space. Due to her love of zoomies and need for room to move, apartment living wouldn’t be the right fit — she’ll be happiest in a home with space to relax and play.

Angel ARP

4 years old

Angel is a lovely female greyhound with a sweet, friendly nature and an outlook that’s as sunny as her name suggests. She is outgoing and confident, greeting people with warmth and charm, and she adores human affection. Angel enjoys being part of the action, whether that’s following you around the house or leaning in for pats —she’s a true people-dog who thrives on connection and companionship.

Angel maybe suited to a home with adults or families with children aged 10 and over who can return her affection respectfully. She may be ok to live as an only dog, soaking up all the love, or along side a compatible medium to larger male canine companion. With her affectionate personality and easy confidence, Angel is ready to bring joy, love, and gentle fun to her forever home.

Angel 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. This means that should you be interested in adopting this dog, we are bringing the dog into GAP on the understanding that you will be adopting this particular dog, and no other dogs currently in our care.

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 completed behavioural rehabilitation training and has shown great progress, though he will still need continued guidance to polish his manners. Peter’s enthusiastic personality makes him a fun and engaging companion for adopters who enjoy an interactive dog with plenty of character. 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, energy, and ongoing need for structure, he is not recommended for homes with elderly residents. With consistency and a confident household, Peter will thrive into a loyal and rewarding lifelong companion. Peter has 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 auto immune disease that affects the eyes, called "Pannus". The symptoms are controlled with daily eye drops.

Alice

4 years old

Alice is a stunning female greyhound with an outgoing personality to match her looks. She’s a confident, extroverted girl who loves being part of the action and greeting the world with enthusiasm. Alice is excitable and a little impulsive at times, which only adds to her charm—she’s the type of dog who wears her heart on her sleeve. She would thrive in a home with adults or children aged 10+, where her lively nature and playful energy can be appreciated and guided. Alice would be best suited as an only dog, or with a calm medium to large canine companion who can handle her confident style. She is not cat friendly and will need a securely fenced backyard to burn off her energy and relax afterwards—apartment living isn’t for her. Due to her strength, excitement, and enthusiasm for life, she’s not suitable for elderly adopters. In the right home, Alice will be a devoted, entertaining, and affectionate companion who brings joy and personality in equal measure.

Rocky ARP

5 years old

How pretty is Rocky? He has the whole world in his paws with hat adorably cute head tilt! Rocky is a very friendly, outgoing and confident boy who loves treats and is happy to hang out with his people. He can be enthusiastic at times when playing with other dogs so he may be better suited to a home with a robust medium or large canine companion, or may even suit living as an only dog. He may be happy living with children aged 10+ and full time workers.

Josie ARP

9 years old
