Bueller came to us for a foster trial and we knew from day one that we just had to keep him.

He is the size of a horse but somehow it works in our small townhouse.  Thrilled that we have now adopted him, the most gentle giant.  He loves his walks and is really good with other dogs.  Bueller came toilet and lead trained and is the most obedient boy, so very little for us to do except provide treats and cuddles.

He loves to gather things from around the house and bring them to his bed, but doesnt chew on them...runners, caps, flip flops, remote controls, you name it.  My fave thing is when we lie on the lounge room floor listening to records together.

Love Ciara

Puddles is not only gorgeous but after his initial enthusiasm and excitement, he settles down and is quite a chilled dog. He is a friendly boy to all he meets. Puddles loves travelling in the car and is up for many road trips with his family. Puddles may suit living with or without a canine pal of medium/large in size and children aged 10 years and older.

Kennard

3 years old

Meet Kennard, a handsome greyhound with a big personality to match his long legs. Friendly, outgoing, and confidently social, Kennard loves being part of the action and will happily greet everyone he meets with a cheerful attitude and a wagging tail. He’s a personable boy who enjoys companionship and would thrive in a home where he can be included in daily life, whether that’s relaxing with his people or heading out for a leisurely walk. Kennard would suit a family with children aged 5+ or an adult-only home that can appreciate his affectionate and confident nature. He’s best placed as an only dog, or alongside a medium to large canine companion, as he enjoys his space and prefers dog friends closer to his own size. A cat-free home is essential. With the right match, Kennard will reward his forever family with loyalty, charm, and plenty of greyhound cuddles.

Vix

4 years old

Meet Vix, a handsome male greyhound with a big personality to match his long legs. Vix is outgoing, affectionate, and loves being right where the action is — especially if it involves people who will shower him with attention. He’s famous for his joyful zoomies, bouncing enthusiasm, and playful spirit. Vix lives life at full speed and wears his heart on his sleeve, making him a wonderfully fun and loving companion for an active household. Vix would thrive in a home with adults or children aged 10+, as his impulsive excitement can be a bit much for little ones or anyone frail. He’s best suited to a house with a secure backyard where he can safely run off his energy, so apartment living isn’t for him. Vix can be an only dog or live with a confident dog friend, but he’s not suitable for homes with cats or older, delicate dogs. If you’re looking for a lively, affectionate greyhound who will keep you smiling and moving, Vix could be your perfect match.

Ammonite

5 years old

Ammonite is a friendly, outgoing, and confident female greyhound with a warm, personable nature. She enjoys engaging with people and has an easy, social presence that makes her a delight to spend time with. Ammonite has completed behavioural rehabilitation training and has emerged as a well-rounded girl who is ready to transition into a stable, loving home where she can continue to thrive. Ammonite is best suited to a home with adults or children aged 5 and over. She can live as an only dog or alongside a medium to large canine companion but is not suitable for homes with small dogs or cats. Due to her size and confidence, she is not recommended for homes with elderly residents, and she will require a house with a yard (no apartment living). In the right environment, Ammonite will blossom into a loyal, engaging, and affectionate companion. Ammonite had an injury prior to entering GAP, which now has arthritis. It is seen as stiffness when rising and settling, lameness and loss of exercise tolerance which may worsen with age. She also has a low-grade heart murmur, which doesn't affect her day-to-day life, or require medication.

Billy

4 years old

No items found.
Hi I’m a Billy ! This is what my lovely foster carer said about me: It takes me about 2–3 weeks to settle in but once I do, you’ll be rewarded with a wagging tail (don’t expect wild zoomies… I’m more of a slow-burn guy) and sweet boy. I need outdoor space. This is non-negotiable. Why? Because like to make a spot in the yard to lay in and it makes me feel safe. One other thing I love is cooked chicken (without the bones!). I’m not a big eater, but treats are my love language. Pig’s ears = yes please. I would like a quiet, predictable home. No kids (they are scary), and I'd like to have the house to myself (other dogs, no thanks, this in my home!). A few more things about me: I don’t like the car yet, I unlocked my “I’m so comfortable” sleepy groans (this means I’m relaxed, not scary), I like my foster dad because I know him now (and he gives me the best ear scratches!) but strange men on the street make me a bit nervous. Big dogs that bark at me? Rude. I was minding my business. I am still a little scared of a couple things — noises, sudden movements, curtains being pulled (terrifying) — but I’m learning every single day. Despite my nerves, I’m actually very easy-going. I’m fine being home while you’re at work (more quality time to sleep in the yard!). I’d suit calm, patient, owners that can be full-time workers with outdoor space, realistic expectations, and a sense of humour. Love, Your future greyhound, Billy

Haley ARP

2 years old

Haley is a bright and affectionate young greyhound with a sweet, puppyish charm that shines through in everything she does. She absolutely loves being around her people and is always eager for a bit of attention or a gentle pat. While she can be a little anxious at times, Haley is a true people-pleaser at heart and is always trying her best to do the right thing. With reassurance and a consistent routine, her confidence continues to grow, making her a lovely companion for adults or families with children aged 5 and over. Due to her sensitive nature, she wouldn’t be suited to a home with elderly residents. Haley could thrive as an only dog where she can soak up all the love and attention, but she may also do well with a calm, polite canine companion who can help guide her and build her confidence. There is potential for her to live with cats, pending proper introductions. With patience, understanding, and a nurturing home, Haley will reward her family with endless affection and loyal companionship, quickly becoming a cherished member of the household.
