Meet Shifty, a 7-year-old boy who defies his age with his youthful energy and playful spirit. Don't let his mature years fool you - this lively lad is still a puppy at heart, always ready to burst into a zoomy or play with a toy. With his boundless enthusiasm and love for playtime, Shifty is the perfect companion for those who crave an active and entertaining furry friend. Despite his advancing years, Shifty shows no signs of slowing down. His tail still wags with excitement, and his eyes sparkle with mischief as he chases after toys or embarks on a high-speed zoom around the room. With his ageless personality and playful nature, Shifty is sure to bring joy and laughter into the life of his forever family. If you're looking for a fun-loving companion to keep you on your toes, Shifty is the perfect match! He may do best living as an only dog and a home with no children. He would prefer a backyard for his zoomies. He has successfully completed further training in our behavioural rehabilitation program and is now ready for adoption.

Meet Tremendous, the friendly and outgoing greyhound gentleman who's ready to bring joy and companionship into his new home! This charming boy has a big personality and loves to make new friends, both human and canine. Tremendous is a social and affectionate companion who will thrive in a family environment with plenty of love and attention. Tremendous is best suited to a home with kids aged 10+, who will appreciate his friendly nature and energetic spirit. He's looking for a household where he's the only dog or with a medium to large canine companion. Tremendous requires a home without small dogs or cats. With a loving family and a stable environment, Tremendous is sure to become a loyal and loving companion - if you're looking for a friendly and outgoing greyhound friend, Tremendous might be the perfect fit!

Meet Betty Boop, the sweet and gentle soul who's looking for a forever home. This quiet and affectionate greyhound is a lovely lady who loves people and enjoys relaxing in her favourite spots. With her calm nature, Betty is sure to bring peace and tranquility to her new family. Betty may be suited to a home with kids aged 10+, who will appreciate her gentle and affectionate nature. As Betty loves companionship, she's looking for a household with a compatible canine companion. Due to her laid-back personality, Betty may even thrive in an apartment setting, as long as her exercise needs are met. If you're looking for a loving and low-key companion, Betty might be the perfect fit for you!

Jeff "The Dude" Lebowski is an adorable pooch, just look at that cute face! Jeff is a young boy who has lots to learn about life and even though he will be turning 4 this year, he still acts like a big puppy! He can find other breeds of dog (other than greyhounds) a little scary, but we feel with a patient owner who will help him by gradually introducing him to other breeds in the right way, he will realise that other breeds of dog are just as good as greyhounds (well almost ;) ). Jeff may suit living with or without another greyhound, children aged 10 years and older and we believe he will do best in a home with a backyard for him to run and play in.

Handsome Hondo can't wait to find his forever home - is it with you? He's a confident and outgoing boy who can still get a bit excited when he meets new dogs, so he'd prefer a home with an experienced greyhound or sighthound owner. He would likely be ok with children aged ten or older, and should be fine with full time workers. Hondo has a heart murmur and comes with an approval for a follow up appointment for an echo, paid for by GAP.

Meet Coffee, the big and bold greyhound gentleman who's brewing up a storm in the hearts of everyone he meets! This charming boy is a true coffee connoisseur - he loves treats, attention, and affection, and he'll be your loyal companion as long as the goodies keep flowing. With his gentle giant personality, Coffee is a perfect fit for families with kids aged 10+, who will adore his playful and loving nature. As a big boy with a big personality, Coffee needs a home that can match his energy and enthusiasm. He's best suited to a household where he's the only dog or with medium to large canine companions who can keep up with his playful vibe. Coffee is looking for an active family who can provide him with plenty of exercise, attention, and treats - if you're ready to perk up your life with a loyal and loving companion, Coffee is the perfect brew for you! Coffee has Pannus, an auto immune disease, which is managed by daily eye drops

Meet Madelyn, the playful and affectionate greyhound who's looking for a forever home. This puppyish sweetheart loves to have fun, run around, and shower her people with love. With her excitable personality, Madelyn is sure to bring laughter and joy to her new family. Madelyn may be best suited to a home with kids aged 10+, who can keep up with her energetic and playful antics. She's looking for a household where she's the only dog or with a compatible canine companion. Due to her playful nature, Madelyn requires a home with a secure backyard where she can run around and play. No elderly individuals, please - Madelyn needs a home with people who can match her enthusiasm and energy. If you're looking for a lively and loving companion, Madelyn might be the perfect fit!

Handsome Xander has been living in a home for the past 10 months and has been returned to our kennels through no fault of his own. Xander has his bags packed and is ready to move straight into his new furever home. He would prefer a home without small dogs but may suit living with children from 10 years and older. Xander has previously completed some extra behavioural rehabilitation training and is now ready for adoption!
