Foster to Adopt

Thinking about bringing a new pet home can be met with mixed emotions, the excitement of finally having a greyhound to call your own, the worry of what it will be like when it finally happens. We get it!
That’s why Victoria’s Greyhound Adoption Program is excited to announce that our Foster to Adopt initiative is here to stay.
After the amazing success of our Christmas Foster Campaign where 30+ greyhounds were adopted by their foster families, we are extending it all year round.
Every interested adopter now has the option to foster for a 3-week trial period before deciding on whether or not to make it official.
3-weeks to win everyone in the family over. 3-weeks to make sure the breed is right for you. Now for the best part…If at the end of the foster period you can’t bear the thought of living life without your hound – you can adopt them!
If you are interested in trialing one of our gorgeous greyhounds, check out our available dogs here and give GAP a call to organise a meet and greet with what could be your new best friend.

All greyhounds adopted from GAP are de-sexed, vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and health checked.

Muffin ARP
Muffin is a delightful burst of joy wrapped in a pretty greyhound package. Sweet, friendly, and wonderfully outgoing, she approaches life with bright enthusiasm and a wagging tail that never seems to stop. An affectionate and personable girl, Muffin loves making eye contact and clearly wants to please, forming quick and meaningful connections with everyone she meets. Her puppyish nature shines through in her playful antics and excitable spirit, making her an absolute delight for those who enjoy a lively and affectionate companion.
Muffin would thrive in a home that can match her energy and embrace her extroverted personality. She may suit living with or without a robust, playful canine companion of similar size and would do well with children aged 10 years and older. With her love of running and playing, Muffin will be happiest in a home with a backyard where she can stretch her legs and burn off her joyful energy. For anyone seeking a fun-loving, devoted, and engaging companion, Muffin is ready to fill your days with laughter and affection.
Muffin is a part of our Assisted Rehoming Program (ARP). We have behavioural and healthassessed this lovely dog, and they will remain with their racing owners untilthey find an adoptive home, at which point they are brought back into GAP. Thismeans that should you be interested in adopting this dog, we are bringing thedog into GAP on the understanding that you will be adopting this particulardog, and no other dogs currently in our care.

Dudley ARP
Dudley is a handsome and gentle boy with a quiet, thoughtful nature. A true introvert at heart, he prefers to take his time getting to know the world around him—but he always tries his best, showing a lovely, personable side as his confidence grows. Sweet and affectionate in his own way, Dudley enjoys calm companionship and will happily share his company once he feels comfortable. While he can be a little strong on the lead at times, with patience and guidance he is sure to develop into a wonderful walking partner.
Dudley can be a little unsure around other dog breeds, particularly smaller ones, but with calm, gradual introductions and ongoing support, he has the potential to build his confidence and feel more at ease. He may suit living with or without a calm, placid canine companion and would be best matched with children aged 10 years and older who can respect his gentle nature. Dudley will likely thrive in a home with a backyard where he can relax and feel secure, making him a delightful companion for someone who appreciates his quiet charm and is willing to help him continue to blossom.

Sava ARP
Sava is a truly lovely greyhound with a calm and easygoing nature that makes him a pleasure to have around. Quiet and laidback, he takes life in his stride while still being friendly and gently outgoing when meeting new people. Sava has a warm, personable charm and enjoys sharing his affectionate side with those he trusts, whether that’s relaxing by your side or joining you for a peaceful stroll.
With his adaptable temperament, Sava may suit a variety of homes. He could live happily with or without a canine companion of similar size and is likely to do well with children aged five years and older. Thanks to his calm and quiet nature, he may even be well suited to apartment living. Sava is a sweet, steady companion who will bring a sense of calm and comfort to his forever home.
