Frequently asked questions
What is the fee to adopt a greyhound?
Just $100 will buy you 8 to 10 years of unlimited love! All our greyhounds are desexed, vaccinated, microchipped, wormed etc. They also come with a lead, collar and a coat.
Can I bring my own dog to the event?
No, sorry! We are unable to accommodate meet and greets with other dogs at this event. You can, however, undertake these at our Tullamarine kennels any day of the week other than a Sunday.
I have a cat - will there be a dog suitable for me?
Due to the high demand for cat tolerant dogs, we won't have any available at this event.
I'm not ready to adopt yet, can I still come?
Absolutely! Our beautiful greyhounds offer unlimited pats. What's not to love about that?
Meet our dogs ready for adoption

They say some dogs can just give you a look and its love a first sight, well those eyes will certainly capture the hearts of a fair few we think! This pretty girl is Lizzy, she is a social butterfly with lovely manners and is very calm and polite (there is a little bit of puppy in there somewhere though for special occasions!). We think she may suit households with children 5 and over or maybe even a person looking for a friend to spend their golden years with. She may even suit living in an apartment type setting as she is more on the chill side. If she lives with a canine brother then something medium or larger may be suited to her.
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. 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 not other dogs currently in our care.

Tee Tee ARP
Tee Tee will have you “Hee Hee-ing” with her attics. Tee Tee is a stunning girl that can be a little upright when greeting and mingling with new dogs, so an owner that will understand her body language will be better for her whilst she learns about the exciting new world. Due to her funny way of socialising, we think she may be better off with a robust dog of any size that can show her how to ‘dog’. Tee Tee is still only a young girl so we think that children 10and over and a place with a yard would be more her style whilst she grows up.

How cute is this sweetheart! She is such a dainty, polite, gentle little soul that is very much looking forward to a home of her very own. She may suit living with another male dog of any size that is respectful of her personal space whilst she settles in and children 5 and over. She also may be suitable for someone that is retired and looking for a companion as she is lovely to walk and quiet. She does loves pending some time outside though whether it just be for a morning sunbake or spend the whole day relaxing, so we think anywhere with some sort of outside area she can bask in would be great.
