Wamba Yamba

5 years old

Wamba Yamba is a calm, polite, and very sweet greyhound with a gentle presence. Handsome and friendly, he enjoys human company and shows his affection in a soft, endearing way. He’s lovely to walk, being well‑mannered and easy on the lead, making outings relaxed and enjoyable. With his easygoing and affectionate nature, Wamba Yamba may suit a home with children aged 5 years and over. He’s a wonderful choice for anyone looking for a kind‑hearted companion who will fit seamlessly into family life. He may also suit living in a home with full time workers.

Meet Laz, who will turn heads with his sleek shiny black glossy coat, what a healthy boy! He is just a really nice boy, friendly to all, he is quiet and calm and walks really well on a loose lead. He loves treats but isn't snatchy about it. Laz may suit living with or without a canine friend of medium/large in size and due to his gentle nature, may suit living with young children and/or the elderly and may be OK to live in an apartment.

Wally now Rex

4 years old

Meet the big goofy dog, Wally! You won't ever be heard saying "Where's Wally" as he will always be right by your side as loyal as ever. Plus, he is too big to lose sight of him! Even though Wally is big, he is quite a polite and sweet boy, who is like a cuddly teddy bear. Wal may suit living with or without a playful robust pal of any size and children aged 10 years and older. We feel as long as he gets his daily physical (walks) and mental (enrichment) needs met, he may be OK to live in an apartment! Good boy Wally!

Rashid

3 years old

Rashid (or 'Sheedy' to his friends) is a sweet little soul who is looking for a calm, understanding home where he can feel safe and loved. While he can be anxious and cautious at times, Rashid truly does try his best, and once he settles into a routine he becomes a lovely, gentle companion. He’s a submissive boy who enjoys the comfort of his bed, the company of other dogs, and the predictability of daily life. In his previous home, he proved himself to be a perfect gentleman indoors. He can be wary of new people at first, but with patience (and a tasty treat or two) he warms up and settles nicely. Rashid thrives with routine and feels most comfortable in a quiet home and neighbourhood where life is calm and predictable. Despite his worries, there is something incredibly special about Rashid. He is looking for a home with dog company (small, medium or large dogs), he may suit a family with children 10+. Rashid needs a quiet home environment, and would love a backyard. Rashid has had a hock fracture repaired prior to entry to GAP. He puts full weight on this limb and the hock is stable. Although the hock has been repaired and managed there is increased risk of developing osteoarthritis in the future.

Gozleme

3 years old

Meet Gozleme, a very handsome male greyhound with a warm, puppyish charm—much like the comfort food he’s named after. He’s affectionate and engaging, often seeking eye contact to connect with his people, and his playful side shines through when he bursts into joyful zoomies. Gozleme can be a little submissive at times, adding to his endearing, gentle nature, and he thrives on positive interaction and encouragement. Gozleme would do best in a home with adults or children aged 10+, where there are no elderly residents, as his enthusiasm and playfulness can be a bit much at times. He’s suited to a house rather than an apartment, and would be happy as an only dog or with a compatible canine companion. He may also suit a cat‑friendly home. With the right environment, Gozleme will be a perfectly balanced blend of sweetness, spice, and lovable energy. THIS LOVELY GREYHOUND WILL BE AVAILABLE AT OUR DOUBLE THE LOVE ADOPTION EVENT ON SUNDAY 31ST MAY - HE WILL BE AT THE SANDOWN VENUE!

8 years old

Petal is a stunning black female greyhound with a beautiful nature to match. She is sweet, social, and delightfully friendly, always happy to greet people with her outgoing and personable charm.

Confident and easygoing, Petal is a pleasure to take out and is well mannered on lead, making daily walks relaxed and enjoyable.

Petal’s gentle and loving personality may make her a great fit for a family with children aged 5 years and over. If you’re looking for a friendly, affectionate greyhound who bonds easily and settles in well, Petal could be the perfect companion to welcome into your home.

Brae ARP

4 years old

Brae is a pretty little girl with a quiet and sweet nature. She’s personable and loves her pats, leaning into affection once she feels safe. Brae can be a little stress at times and is submissive, so she’s looking for a calm, understanding home where she can relax and build her confidence. She would thrive as an only dog but may be suitable to live with medium or large dogs, she also may be suitable to live with kids10+. Because Brae is a little stress at times, she would suit a quiet neighbourhood.

‍
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 no other dogs currently in our care.

BJ

4 years old

BJ is a striking white and fawn greyhound with both good looks and an even better personality. Sweet, pretty, and undeniably handsome, he has a friendly and outgoing nature that makes him a joy to be around. BJ is wonderfully personable and quickly charms everyone he meets with his gentle confidence and warm enthusiasm. Affectionate by nature, BJ loves being close to his people and often shows this by leaning in against his handler—a classic greyhound sign of trust and love. He enjoys attention, connection, and being part of the action, while still having that laid‑back greyhound calm that makes him easy to live with. BJ may suit a home with children aged 5 years and over, and his relaxed, settled temperament means he could also suit full‑time workers, provided his needs for companionship and routine are met. He’s the kind of dog who will happily greet you at the end of the day, ready to share cuddles and companionship. BJ has had x-rays and there is mild swelling over the right hind metatarsal area, possibly an old, healed fracture. THIS LOVELY GREYHOUND WILL BE AVAILABLE AT OUR DOUBLE THE LOVE ADOPTION EVENT ON SUNDAY 31ST MAY - HE WILL BE AT THE SANDOWN VENUE! REGISTER FOR THE EVENT VIA THE GAP WEBSITE.

Gus ARP

2 years old

Gus is a super handsome, friendly and affectionate dude who has a lot of love to give! He has been affectionately referred to as a "boof head" as he loves to be in your business! He is on the smaller side for a male but he makes up for it in personality! Gus may suit living in a home with or without another medium or large canine companion and children aged 10 years and over. Gus may even suit living in a home with full time workers!

This dog is part of our Assisted Rehoming Program (ARP). ARP dogs are kept 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 them. As such, you will not be able to meet any other dogs, as you otherwise would be able to.

Hank Hill

6 years old

Meet Hank Hill — a handsome, confident greyhound with a heart as solid as a well-built propane grill. True to his namesake, Hank is steady, reliable, and full of quiet charm, but don’t let that calm demeanor fool you — when it’s time for zoomies, this boy will tell you hwhat! Hank loves a good burst of speed followed by leaning in for affection, and he thrives on companionship with his people. He’s completed behavioural rehabilitation training and has come out the other side with structure, manners, and a strong desire to please. Like any good Texan gentleman, he appreciates routine, respect, and a comfortable place to relax at the end of the day. Hank would do best in a home with kids aged 10+ or adults who understand his boundaries and can match his confident nature. He prefers to be the only dog or live with a medium-to-large canine companion who respects his space — smaller animals, including cats and small dogs, aren’t his “kind of alley.” He is not suited to living with elderly individuals, as his playful bursts and size can be a bit much. If you're looking for a loyal companion who brings equal parts dignity and goofball energy — a dog who’ll stand by you like propane and propane accessories — Hank Hill might just be your guy.
