I've always loved sight hounds. When my now husband and I were discussing getting our first dog together and suggested a greyhound, I was over the moon. We already had a cat, so were looking for a cat friendly greyhound. We knew how much GAP tested their dogs, so we checked the website all the time looking for our perfect dog. Then we found her, Daphne.

She was very timid and her eyes told us that she just wanted to be loved. Fast forward almost 4 years and Daphne is still our angel. She's gone whiter around the muzzle (from too many kisses, rather than age she says) now that she is 10, but she is still our big baby. She loved our cat from the moment she came home, and when we introduced a second greyhound, she adjusted brilliantly and now must know when her buddy is at all times. Thank you GAP for trusting is with Daphne. She is perfect and has ensured that our household will always have at least one greyhound in it.

Love Holly

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.

Gazelle

5 years old

Gazelle is a sweet and stunning female greyhound with a gentle soul and a heart full of affection. She’s friendly, loving, and adores human company, often seeking out eye contact and leaning in for quiet moments of connection. Gazelle has successfully completed behavioural rehabilitation training and has blossomed into a calm, responsive companion who truly enjoys being part of her person’s world. Gazelle will thrive in a home as an only dog or with a medium to large canine companion. Due to her prey drive, she is not suitable for homes with small dogs or cats, and she is best matched with an adult-only household (no children or elderly residents). In the right home, Gazelle will reward her family with unwavering loyalty, gentle affection, and the quiet elegance that makes greyhounds so special.

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 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.

Jerry

4 years old

Jerry is a gorgeous greyhound with a heart as big as his smile. Sweet, friendly, and happily outgoing, Jerry loves being around his people and soaks up affection like a pro. He’s a bit adorably uncoordinated and doesn’t always know where his long legs are going, which only adds to his charm. Jerry would thrive in a home with adults or confident kids aged 5+, where there’s plenty of room for him to stretch out and enjoy life. Jerry is best suited as the only dog, or with a calm, compatible dog friend who appreciates his gentle nature. Because of his size and clumsiness, he’s not suited to homes with elderly or frail people or older, delicate dogs. Jerry cannot live with cats, and apartment living isn’t a good match for him—he’ll be happiest in a secure home with space to move. If you’re looking for an affectionate, happy greyhound to share your days (and your couch), Jerry might be your perfect match.
