Christina & Zack

We were so excited to foster Zack and see if he could be a good companion for our staffy, Phoebe.

As first time greyhound owners, we were so intrigued by Zack’s personality and demeanour, as he is so calm and quiet compared to our staffy. We quickly realised that Zack is a huge baby who just wants lots of cuddles and to be with people.

Zack and Phoebe have become an inseparable pair, like a couple of dog detectives investigating what’s happening in the kitchen. They are in many ways total opposites which has made their bond and friendship even more delightful and fun to watch.

Zack also has been the favourite of our eight year old son Conrad, who loves how inquisitive, gentle and sweet Zack is. We love our walks together and Zack is really good on the lead.

As Zack slowly got familiar with us and our home, he has showed his playful side. He is the ultimate welcoming party at the front door and his favourite thing to do is play with and munch apples from our tree! Seeing him so happy has been a true joy.

It didn’t take much time for us to fall in love with Zack and make the decision to adopt him. GAP were amazing and support every step of the way. It’s been one of the happiest and rewarding decisions we have made.

Mandy & Elley

She fit in very quickly in the family. For the first week or so, she was a little unsure, and it took about that long for her personality to start shining through.

Jagger ARP

4 years old

He's got the moves like Jagger, he has the swag like Jagger but we think our Jagger is much more handsome! This friendly, outgoing and affectionate young lad is ready for his forever home and we cant wait for him to find it. If you have wanted a fun, happy go lucky dog then Jagger is your man. He may suit homes with or without another medium or larger canine friend and children 10 and over. He may also suit living with full time workers (more time to work on his next big hit)! 

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.

William ARP

2 years old

Isn’t he just handsome! William is for sure a looker but under that stunning coat is a soft, sweet but shy young man that will need sometime and patience in his new home whilst he learns the lay of the land. He may do best in a quiet and predicable home that will let him come out of his shell in his own time. William will do best with a home that has a yard for him to relax in whilst he transitions as a pet and maybe another a dog of any size. If there are children in the home, then respectful teens (15 and over) would be better for him. Will you be sweet William’s forever home?

Harley

3 years old

Meet Harley, a lovely female greyhound with a gentle soul and a big heart. She’s sweet, personable, and truly affectionate, often seeking out eye contact to connect with her people. Harley enjoys being close and will happily soak up attention, making her a wonderful companion for someone who wants a dog that bonds deeply and thrives on human interaction. Harley is best suited to a home with adults or children aged 10+, as she’s still polishing her manners and can be a bit enthusiastic at times—so no elderly household members, please. She would do well as an only dog or with a calm medium‑to‑large canine companion, but she cannot live with cats. With a little guidance and consistency, Harley will shine in the right home and reward her family with endless affection and devotion.

Hudson

5 years old

Hudson is a gentle, friendly male greyhound with a big heart and an even bigger love for people. Affectionate and eager to please, he thrives on human connection and is happiest when he’s part of whatever you’re doing. Hudson has a calm, reassuring presence, balanced with a warm, social nature that makes him easy to love and wonderful to have around. Hudson would be best suited to a home with children aged 10+ or with adults who can enjoy his people-focused personality. He can live happily as an only dog or with a compatible canine friend, but he’ll need a cat-free home and is not suited to elderly households. His settled temperament means he may suit apartment living with appropriate exercise and enrichment. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who truly loves being with his people, Hudson could be the perfect match.

She enjoys engaging with people and carries herself with an easy confidence that makes her a pleasure to be around. Posy has completed behavioural rehabilitation training and has shown herself to be a well-adjusted, responsive girl who is ready to settle into home life with ease. Posy is best suited to a household with adults or children aged 5 and over.

Posy has had a metatarsal fracture repaired prior to GAP entry. She bears weight on this limb and the distal limb is stable. The metatarsal has healed and as the joints are not involved, there is no increased risk of developing osteoarthritis in this leg
