Lisa & Sunny

I just wanted to let you know that Sunny our beautiful greyhound has been the most wonderful addition to our family.

She’s funny, goofy, loving and gentle. Our kids love seeing her zoom around the garden and snuggled up on the couch.I’m so happy we chose to adopt a greyhound through GAP, it’s been the best decision ever!She has settled into house life well and uses her dog door with ease, only had a few accidents inside and learns so fast.

Love Lisa

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.

Duck

3 years old

This little Duck is personality PLUS! She is fun, affectionate, puppyish and playful. She likes treats and will look up at you with her puppy dog eyes until she gets her way. This girl will have you in fits of laughter all the time and we can't wait to see her blossom in her forever home. We think she may suit living with or without another male canine companion and children 10 and over that are happy to be around a bouncy, playful pup. A house with a yard would be ideal for this girl so she can do her daily zoomies and play time.

True to his name, Hercules is a handsome 4-year-old black greyhound with a striking appearance and a heart full of love. With his big white chest and ever-so-slight Roman nose, this charming boy has a unique look that only adds to his appeal.

Cowboy

4 years old

Cowboy is a handsome boy with a big heart and an even bigger zest for life. Sweet, friendly, and full of personality, he is an outgoing and confident boy who loves spending time with his people. Cowboy is affectionate, playful, and delightfully puppyish at times, often seeking eye contact and looking for ways to engage with those around him. He is eager to please and thrives on attention, especially when it comes in the form of a full-body scratch. When he's feeling excited, Cowboy has a quirky habit of gently mouthing hands as a way of expressing his enthusiasm. It's a playful and endearing behaviour, never intended to be rough or aggressive. Cowboy has experience living indoors and comes crate trained and toilet trained, making him well prepared for life in a home. He can be enthusiastic when heading out for a walk, but once his initial excitement has passed, he settles nicely and walks well on lead. Cowboy may suit a home with or without a canine companion of a similar size and would likely enjoy living with older children in their teenage years. With his loving nature, happy outlook, and entertaining personality, Cowboy is sure to bring plenty of smiles to his future family.

Brasi

4 years old

Brasi is a bold and boisterous four-year-old boy who approaches life with boundless enthusiasm and a zest that is truly infectious. This confident, outgoing extrovert loves nothing more than launching into a set of zoomies, and his excitable, impulsive nature means there is never a dull moment when he is around. Brasi is a treat and toy enthusiast, and his friendly, energetic personality makes him an absolute joy to be around for those who can match his lively spirit. Brasi would thrive in an active home with a confident owner who can provide calm, consistent guidance — particularly on lead, where he can be a little erratic when excited. He may suit life as an only dog or alongside a similarly-sized canine companion and could potentially share his home with children aged 10 and older. One thing is non-negotiable though: Brasi needs a secure backyard where he can stretch those long legs, tear around to his heart’s content, and truly be himself.

If you're interested in adopting this dog, we'll arrange for them to come into GAP specifically for you to meet and complete the adoption process. Since the dog is being brought into the program based on your interest, we ask that applicants be reasonably confident this is the greyhound they'd like to welcome into their family. Unlike our standard adoption process, you won't be able to meet multiple dogs at the same time however our team will share lots of information about this greyhound to help you determine if they're the perfect match for your family.

Meet Marlowe, a confident and outgoing greyhound with a big personality and an even bigger love of treats! This handsome boy thrives on human interaction, often seeking eye contact to connect with his people and let you know he's ready for his next adventure.
