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. Wamba Yamba had a previous hock injury when he came into GAP. We remove hardware from his leg, and he is now good to go into his new home. Wamba also has pannus which is well controlled with daily medication. Pannus is an auto immune disease which affects the eyes, and when caught early and treated, vision is upheld. 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.

Laz

6 years old

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. Laz has had a metacarpal fracture prior to GAP entry. He bears weight and the injury is stable. Pick up the phones to call our adoption team as this boy won't last long!

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.

Rosa Diaz

3 years old

Meet Rosa Diaz — a force of nature wrapped in a sleek Greyhound frame, with a personality as bold and dynamic as her name suggests. This outgoing, affectionate girl is equal parts charm and chaos, bringing puppyish energy to everything she does. Rosa doesn’t do “idle” — she’s always on the move, eager to explore, play, and be right in the middle of the action. Her enthusiasm is infectious, and while she can be a little excitable and boofy, it’s all part of her irresistible character. Having completed behavioural rehabilitation training, Rosa has made fantastic progress, but she’ll still need a confident handler committed to continuing her manners and helping her channel that energy positively. Rosa Diaz is best suited to a home with adults or families with children aged 10+, where her high energy and lively nature can be properly supported — she’s not suited to homes with elderly individuals. She must be the only dog, or could live with a calm, medium to large canine companion, but no small dogs or cats. Apartment living isn’t right for Rosa; she needs a secure backyard where she can stretch her legs and burn off steam. In the right home, Rosa will be fiercely loyal, endlessly entertaining, and a wonderfully affectionate companion who keeps life exciting.

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!

Petal

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. Petal adores human company and is an affectionate girl who loves gentle pats, cuddles, and being part of the action. Confident and easygoing, Petal is a pleasure to take out and is well mannered on lead, making daily walks relaxed and enjoyable. Her calm nature also means she may suit apartment living, so long as she gets her regular outings and some quality time with her people. 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.
