Dave & Brian

We welcomed Brian (original name Ironman!) into our lives two and a half years ago, following the untimely death of our whippet.

Brian was very quick to adapt to the domestic life - although he struggled at first with getting into our car. Soon solved by buying a ramp and spending several weeks training him, after which he decided he could jump in.

We live in a small unit in a retirement village and he fits in well - very quiet unless he sees a cat. His hobbies are tearing up cardboard boxes (but only the ones we give him), digging enormous holes in the garden and throwing his toys around - although has never damaged any of them. Everyone in the village loves him, and he goes out every week with the local greyhound group.

Love Dave

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.

Hershey

2 years old

Meet Hershey, a sweet and handsome fawn greyhound with a penchant for zoomies 😊. This cautious boy's got a playful streak and loves to get active, but he needs time to warm up to new things. Hershey's a great fit for an active household where he can get plenty of exercise and attention. Hershey suits households with kids 10+ or adults who can keep up with his energetic vibe – no elderly or apartments, please! He needs a backyard to stretch his legs and a medium to large dog companion if he's not the only dog. No cats, thanks! If you're looking for a fun-loving, loyal companion who's always up for a chocolatey good time, Hershey's your guy!

Patrick has the goofiest face (make sure you check out his 'mid shake' flying tongue photos!) it's hard not to fall in love with him. This adorable guy has a very sweet and personable nature and he will use those striking eyes to demand more treats which he loves. Patrick may be ok living with children 10 and over and with another canine pal of any size. He may also be ok for full time workers.

Luca

4 years old

Perfect Luca, he is sweet, sensitive and soulful. He isn't a massive bubbly personality, but he does give you the warm fuzzies when he comes over and wants to give and receive all the cuddles. He is more of a introvert that loves deeply but doesn't go out of their way to make sure everyone knows it, and honestly, we love that about him. We think this boy will make someone very happy and they will think he is "perfect"! Luca has recently spent time with the behaviour team to prep him ready for the big wide world and he has come away with new skills and his bags packed. We think he may suit living with children 10 and over and maybe even a medium or large canine buddy to live with.

Bronte

5 years old

Meet Bronte, a gentle soul with a heart of gold! This quiet and calm girl is a sweet and personable companion who'll bring serenity to her forever home. Bronte loves human interaction and will shower her owners with affection, but she's a bit particular about her personal space. Bronte's looking for a household with no kids or other dogs where she can relax and be herself. She's also sensitive about having her belly touched, so her new owners will need to respect her boundaries. Having completed behavioural rehabilitation, Bronte's ready to find her perfect match - if you're looking for a loving and laid-back companion, Bronte might be the one! Bronte has a low-grade heart murmur that doesn't affect her day-to-day life. Bronte has had a hock fracture repaired prior to GAP entry. She bears weight on this limb and the hock is stable. This lovely dog is not cat tolerant.

Harry ARP

3 years old

Handsome Harry is just as lovely on the inside as he is on the outside. He is a fairly quiet boy for a 3year old and is very personable and affectionate, he looks up lovingly into his persons eyes. He is a happy chappy, often wagging his tail. He has the cutest big floppy ears. This lovely pup may suit living with or without a canine friend of similar size and children aged 5 years and older. Due to his calm nature, he may suit living in an apartment.

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.
