Nike

3 years old

Nike is back from her foster home and is now ready for adoption! She has done really well with her toilet training and got along well with the resident dog, as well as learning how to relax and sleep the day away! Nike may suit living in a home with or without another medium or large canine companion, and full time workers. Nike can be a little shy initially, so she would prefer a home with older, quieter children in a quiet home. Once she warms up to you, she can be quite personable and sometimes will even show her playful streak! Nike has a previous hock fracture, with hardware in place. She isn't lame and is weight baring. She comes with a paid approval for this hardware to be removed if needed in the future.

Manfred

3 years old

How sweet is this fellow! With his cute ears and the most adorable pep to his step (ever seen a dog aspire to be a dressage horse? Yep- that's Manfred!) we think he will win hearts wherever he goes. Manfred is a quiet, friendly boy that we think may be ok in an apartment and may suit living with another dog of any size and maybe even a cat! Manfred is a very polite young man and may suit living with children 5 and over.

Minty

8 years old

Minty is a lovely, sweet older girl who is bursting with personality! She loves being around her people and will lean on you for comfort (and sometimes laziness). Her affectionate nature and delightfully plump physique will be sure to win you over! Minty absolutely loves treats and toys, so she shouldn't be hard to train her to bust a move. She may suit living with or without another canine companion of any size and might even suit apartment living (she has started learning how to do stairs). She might be happy living with school aged children 5-10 years old and full time workers.

Leonardo

6 years old

Meet Leonardo. This handsome boy is quiet but friendly. He can sometimes be a little cautious, but he tries his hardest in new situations. With a supportive and kind home, he will blossom into his full personality. Because of Leonardos sweet and quiet personality he may suit living with any size dogs, and he may be suitable to live with older children aged 15+. For Leonardo to thrive he will require a quiet home in a quiet neighbourhood. Leonardo had some anxiety in out kennels due to the army base bombing. Transitional medication will be provided to help him settle into his new home.

Milla was Lemon

2 years old

Meet Lemon, as cute as her name is! She is only a young girl being barely 2 years old, she is just a sweet delight and the first people to meet her will fall in love. She walks well on a lead and is mostly easy to handle. She enjoys treats, so we think she will be easily trained with her food motivation. She may suit living with or without a canine brother of any size (if a small dog they would be better if they are playful and robust) and children aged 10 years and older.

Diamond

4 years old

Meet Diamond, a handsome male Greyhound with a calm temperament and a gentle, loving nature. His striking white coat with unique black patches gives him a truly eye-catching look, and his quiet confidence makes him a joy to be around. Diamond is friendly when meeting new people and forms strong, affectionate bonds with those he trusts. He enjoys a relaxed lifestyle—think leisurely strolls, soft places to rest, and simply being near his humans. Diamond would do best in a home with children aged 5 and over or in an adult-only household, and his easygoing nature could make him a lovely companion for an older person. He can happily live as the only dog or alongside a suitable canine companion. If you’re looking for a sweet, steady, and affectionate companion with both charm and good looks, Diamond could be the perfect fit. THIS LOVELY GREYHOUND WILL BE AVAILABLE AT OUR DOUBLE THE LOVE ADOPTION EVENT ON SUNDAY 31ST MAY - THIS DOG WILL BE AT THE SANDOWN VENUE! REGISTER FOR THE EVENT VIA THE GAP WEBSITE.

Ben ARP

2 years old

Ben is a super sweet, highly intelligent, and gentle soul who is looking for a quiet, patient home where he can truly come out of his shell. He is a shy and anxious boy who is cautious around new people and slow to bond, but for the right person, the reward is immeasurable — once he trusts you, he is deeply affectionate, loving, and playful. His foster carer describes him nuzzling in for cuddles, licking hands, and snuggling close. He does best with a calm, consistent presence and will need an owner (or owners) who are gentle and willing to give him the time he needs to feel safe. He would suit a quiet home with older, teenage children, and is happy to live with a calm, polite dog of any size, having bonded beautifully with his foster carer’s small older dog. Once Ben feels secure, his personality truly blossoms. He loves squeaky toys, adores a big plush toy to cuddle up with, and will happily do zoomies around the backyard or chase a toy when he’s comfortable in your company. He is a fast learner — picking up toilet boundaries quickly with gentle guidance — and he settled well with a dedicated safe space of his own, like a large pen, which he never soiled and always retreated to happily. He sleeps through the night and will let you know when he needs to go outside. He is a strong dog on the lead, so a physically confident walker is ideal. He is not a fussy eater but eats best when he feels relaxed and safe. Ben is a truly special dog, and the right patient, gentle home will be so lucky to have him.

Barracuda

3 years old

Barracuda is a charming male greyhound with a fun-loving, puppyish spirit and a heart full of affection. Friendly and personable, he thrives on human interaction and loves being part of the action, whether it’s playtime, a walk, or simply hanging out with his people. His joyful energy and gentle nature make him a delight to be around, and he’s easy to handle despite his playful side. Barracuda would suit an adult home or a family with children aged 10 and over who can match his enthusiasm and provide a consistent, supportive environment. Barracuda has successfully completed behavioural rehabilitation training and is now ready to settle into a home that understands his needs. He would do best as an only dog or with a compatible medium to large dog, but he cannot live with small dogs or cats. He is not suited to a home with elderly owners, as he benefits from confident handling and structure. With the right home, Barracuda will bring endless affection, companionship, and a joyful presence to everyday life.

Stormy

6 years old

Stormy is a quiet, sweet girl with a gentle nature and a soft spot for treats and affection. She's easy to handle and walks nicely on lead. Stormy can be a little submissive at first, but she tries hard and warms up quickly with kindness and patience. She would suit being any only dog where she can soak up all the love, or she may be suitable to live with small, medium or large dogs. Stormy may also be suitable to live with children aged 15+. THIS LOVELY GREYHOUND WILL BE AVAILABLE AT OUR DOUBLE THE LOVE ADOPTION EVENT ON SUNDAY 31ST MAY - THEY WILL BE AT THE SANDOWN VENUE! REGISTER FOR THE EVENT VIA THE GAP WEBSITE.

Demon

5 years old

With a name like Demon, you might expect chaos, mischief, and the occasional sofa sacrifice… but surprise! This boy is about as devilish as a marshmallow. Demon is a confident, outgoing charmer who absolutely loves people. He’s the kind of greyhound who walks into a room like he owns it—then immediately turns into an affectionate cuddle bug looking for pats, compliments, and possibly a fan club. He thrives on attention and isn’t shy about asking for it either (subtle nose boops included at no extra charge). Friendly and easygoing, Demon could be happy living with children aged 10 and over who can match his fun-loving personality. He may even be happy living in a home with full time workers. Despite his dramatic name, Demon is all heart—a sweet, affectionate companion who’s more angel than troublemaker. If you’re after a dog with personality, confidence, and a sense of humour (intentional or not), Demon might just be your perfect little “villain.” Demon has had a hock fracture repaired prior to GAP entry. He bears weight on this limb and the hock is stable. THIS LOVELY GREYHOUND WILL BE AVAILABLE AT OUR DOUBLE THE LOVE ADOPTION EVENT ON SUNDAY 31ST MAY - THEY WILL BE AT THE SANDOWN VENUE!
