Ozzie

3 years old

Sweet, gentle and full of character, Ozzie is a 3-year-old black greyhound who wins hearts wherever he goes. This affectionate boy thrives on human connection and loves sharing meaningful moments through his warm gaze and constant willingness to please. Friendly, social and wonderfully personable, Ozzie greets both familiar faces and new friends with confidence and charm. Ozzie has some arthritis in his right hind leg due to an old injury. His leg is stable, though ongoing arthritic joint management and regular vet checks are recommended. Ozzie approaches life with enthusiasm and a touch of puppyish mischief, often showing off his playful side with joyful zoomies and happy antics. He loves being included in family life and will happily seek out eye contact, always eager to stay connected to his people. Beneath his outgoing nature is a sweet, gentle soul who simply loves spending time with those he cares about. If you're looking for a loyal companion who can bring both laughter and affection to your home, Ozzie could be the perfect match. Suitable for a home with children aged 10 years and older.

Jerry

5 years old

Jerry is a gorgeous greyhound with a heart as big as his smile. Sweet, friendly, and happily outgoing, Jerry loves being around his people and soaks up affection like a pro. He’s a bit adorably uncoordinated and doesn’t always know where his long legs are going, which only adds to his charm. Jerry would thrive in a home with adults or confident kids aged 5+, where there’s plenty of room for him to stretch out and enjoy life. Jerry is best suited as the only dog, or with a calm, compatible dog friend who appreciates his gentle nature. Because of his size and clumsiness, he’s not suited to homes with elderly or frail people or older, delicate dogs. Jerry cannot live with cats, and apartment living isn’t a good match for him—he’ll be happiest in a secure home with space to move. If you’re looking for an affectionate, happy greyhound to share your days (and your couch), Jerry might be your perfect match.

Targan

5 years old

If you're looking for a dog who greets every day with enthusiasm and a wagging tail, then Targan could be your perfect match! This handsome 5-year-old black greyhound is a very large boy with an even bigger personality. Targan has some osteoarthritis, which doesn't currently cause him discomfort. It will be advisable to monitor this over the years with regular vet checks and arthritic management. Targan is incredibly social and loves meeting new people. Friendly, outgoing and confident, he never misses an opportunity to say hello and soak up some attention. One of his favourite things is enjoying a pat while out on a walk, happily making friends wherever he goes. Affectionate and playful, Targan has a puppy-like zest for life that makes him a joy to be around. He loves treats, enjoys human company and is always keen to be involved in whatever is happening. His excitement can sometimes get the better of him, and he may jump up to greet people or become a little boisterous when he's happy. While he does settle down nicely, he's an active and enthusiastic boy who will thrive with owners who appreciate his energetic nature. Targan can be strong on the lead, particularly when excited, so he'll need confident handlers who can comfortably manage a large dog. For this reason, he is not suited to frail owners. This extroverted lad would suit an active home with a secure backyard where he can stretch his legs and enjoy family life. Due to his size and exuberance, Targan is best suited to a home with children aged 15 years and over. If you're after a fun, affectionate greyhound who will fill your days with happiness, adventures and plenty of personality, Targan is ready to find his forever family.

He quickly forms bonds with those around him and loves leaning into his handler for attention, pats and companionship. Sweet-natured and eager to please, he's happiest when he's included in family life and receiving plenty of affection. This playful boy has an enthusiastic side and can become excited when meeting people or enjoying fun activities. His excitement may sometimes see him jumping up in his greetings, but it quickly subsides into a calm companion once he settles. With guidance and consistency, Hercules will relax and enjoy being close to his people. Full of personality and charm, Hercules combines confidence with a loving disposition, making him a wonderful companion for an active family looking for a dog who loves human connection.

Midnight

5 years old

Meet Midnight, a sweet and affectionate greyhound with a gentle soul and impeccable manners. Calm, polite, and quietly charming, Midnight is more of an introvert who prefers meaningful connections over being the centre of attention, though her puppyish side occasionally peeks through to delight those around her. She would suit a home with children aged 5+ or adults and may also be a wonderful companion for an older person looking for a relaxed and loving friend. Midnight could happily live as an only dog or alongside a compatible canine companion, and her easy-going nature may make her well suited to apartment living. If you're searching for a loyal, low-key companion who will fill your home with quiet affection, Midnight may be the perfect match. Midnight has had a previous injury to her metatarsal, which she doesn't let it slow her down!

Penelope

3 years old

Pretty Penelope is the kind of girl who lights up every room she enters. Outgoing, confident and full of enthusiasm, this boisterous young greyhound approaches life with her tail wagging and a sparkle in her eye. She loves being involved in the action and has a delightfully puppyish outlook on life, though she is still learning that good manners are just as important as good looks. Penelope will thrive with an active, confident owner who can continue her training and help channel her exuberance into being the best companion she can be. She is best suited to a home with teenagers aged 15+ or adults, and due to her enthusiasm, she is not suitable for elderly or frail people. Penelope would like to be an only dog or share her home with a robust canine companion, and she will need a house with a secure yard rather than apartment living.

Mercedes

4 years old

Mercedes is a lovely, gentle girl who has a quiet confidence and a heart full of affection. Pretty, calm, and sweet-natured, she enjoys spending time with her people and is happiest when she can relax by your side and soak up some attention. Mercedes has a soft, affectionate nature that makes her a wonderful companion for those looking for a loyal and loving friend. She would be best suited to a home with children aged 5 years and over, or adults, and while she enjoys canine company, she should live as an only dog or with a medium to large dog. Having successfully completed behavioural rehabilitation training, Mercedes has made great progress and is ready for her next chapter. Due to her history, she cannot live with small dogs or cats. If you're looking for a sweet, calm greyhound with plenty of love to give, Mercedes could be the perfect addition to your family.
