Penelope

3 years old

Pretty Penelope is the kind of girl who lights up every room she enters. Outgoing, confident and full of enthusiasm, this boisterous young greyhound approaches life with her tail wagging and a sparkle in her eye. She loves being involved in the action and has a delightfully puppyish outlook on life, though she is still learning that good manners are just as important as good looks. Penelope will thrive with an active, confident owner who can continue her training and help channel her exuberance into being the best companion she can be. She is best suited to a home with teenagers aged 15+ or adults, and due to her enthusiasm, she is not suitable for elderly or frail people. Penelope would like to be an only dog or share her home with a robust canine companion, and she will need a house with a secure yard rather than apartment living.

Didi Hill ARP

4 years old

Didi Hill is a beautiful girl, inside and out. She is an introvert and can be a little shy with new people and new dogs, but with time and patience, we believe her inner confidence will shine through. She has the cutest ears and will make your heart melt. Didi Hill may suit living with or without a calm/respectful canine brother of any size and children aged 10 years+. She may do best in a home with a quiet neighbourhood.

This greyhound is part of our Assisted Rehoming Program (ARP). Through this program, greyhounds stay with their current owners while they wait to find their perfect forever home.

If you're interested in adopting this dog, we'll arrange for them to come into GAP specifically for you to meet and complete the adoption process. Since the dog is being brought into the program based on your interest, we ask that applicants be reasonably confident this is the greyhound they'd like to welcome into their family. Unlike our standard adoption process, you won't be able to meet multiple dogs at the same time however our team will share lots of information about this greyhound to help you determine if they're the perfect match for your family.

Scooby

6 years old

Everyone needs a Scooby-doo in their life! He is fun-loving, happy, bouncy extrovert that is ready to Scooby doo-bee-do! We think this handsome boy would be ok with a family with children 15 and over and ready to play and also another medium or larger canine friend. No apartments for this boy as he cant wait to show you his zoomies and play in the yard. No elderly or frail dogs or people either as he is still learning how to control his enthusiasm to life.
