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.
Meet our dogs ready for adoption
All greyhounds adopted from GAP are de-sexed, vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and health checked.

Katelyn ARP
Katelyn is a lovely, sweet and confident girl who is so excited for her forever home that she has her bags packed! She may be happy to live in a home with or without another robust medium or large canine companion and children aged 10 years or older. She may be happy to live with full time workers.

Marley ARP
Are you looking for a mature greyhound who may be happy to live with a smaller dog? Marley might be your lady! She is super sweet, friendly, and outgoing, and has all the love to give. Marley may be happiest in a home with children 10 years and over and might suit living with full time workers.
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.

Mr D ARP
Hi! I’m Mr D! What’s that you say!? I’m handsome? Well, there is so much more to love about me than my handsome looks but ill point out my shiny coat, awesome pointy ears and a tail that winds up like a helicopter but most importantly I am a real sweet, friendly and fun boy that is always up for an adventure. I think I might be ok to live with children 10 and over or maybe even another medium or larger play buddy!

Reindeer ARP
She may not be leading Santa’s sleigh like Rudolf but this quiet achiever is still just as important! She is a shy girl that we think will come out of her shell in a home that understands she just needs time to learn how to be a pet and patience to go at her pace. A quieter home with children 15 and over that are respectful of her boundaries maybe ok and somewhere with a nice yard that she can go and relax in. She may also benefit from a male friend that is medium or larger to help her transition into pet life. This lovely dog is not suitable for a home with cats.
