Tracey & Gabby

We adopted Gabby 6 weeks ago and she started as a very unsure girl who wouldn’t leave the corner.

She is now the most bubbly playful girl who loves adventuring in the backyard. She has made friends with the neighbourhood dogs, one being a fellow greyhound, and just loves playing. She’s still a bit unsure in some situations but we are so proud of how far she’s come.

We love her to bits and so glad she’s part of our family.

Love Tracey

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.

Heidi ARP

2 years old

Heidi is a beautiful girl with a gentle and affectionate nature. Quiet, calm and wonderfully polite, she takes life in her stride and loves making friends with everyone she meets. Sweet and personable, Heidi is a lovely companion who will happily fit into a relaxed home.

Heidi could live as an only dog or could suit living with a medium to large canine friend, and she may be suitable to live with dog-savvy children aged 5 years and over.

This greyhound is part of our Assisted Rehoming Program (ARP). Through this program, greyhounds stay with their current owners while they wait to find their perfect forever home.

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.

Pocket

6 years old

Pocket is a bright-eyed, pretty little extrovert with a zest for life that is completely infectious. Friendly, outgoing and utterly sweet, she throws herself into every interaction with boundless enthusiasm — whether that’s seeking out eye contact, leaning affectionately against her favourite humans, or launching into a spirited game with her beloved toys. Puppyish and playful, Pocket wears her heart on her sleeve and has a way of making you feel like the most important person in the room. She is social to her core and simply lights up in the company of people who love her. Pocket has had a wonderful head start through our Prison Pet Partnership Program, where she completed pre-pet training and blossomed into the confident, well-rounded girl she is today — and she is now ready to find her forever family. She would do best with children aged ten and older who can enjoy her lively, exuberant personality, and she may suit a home with or without a canine companion of similar size. A backyard is essential for this energetic sweetheart, giving her the space to run, play and truly flourish. If you’re looking for a dog who will fill your home with joy and never let a dull moment pass, Pocket is your girl.

Ginny

5 years old

Ginny is a stunning black greyhound with the sleekest, shiniest coat and a gentle soul to match. Recently, he spent a month in our Prison Pet Partnership Program, where he worked hard learning valuable pet life skills to help prepare him for life in a loving forever home. Naturally an introvert, Ginny can be anxious and cautious in new situations, but he always does his best to be brave and takes comfort from patient, understanding people. Once Ginny trusts you, his true personality shines through. He becomes a happy, affectionate boy who loves spending time with his people and enjoys plenty of pats and attention. During foster care, we discovered that Ginny much prefers the outdoors to indoor living, so a secure backyard is a must for this zoomie-loving boy. Ginny is likely to thrive with an experienced greyhound owner and a family with teenage children who can appreciate his gentle nature and give him the time and space he needs to blossom.

Tiger

6 years old

Oh Sweet Tiger, you are such a gentle soul that wants nothing more than a patient home and lifetime supply of twiggy sticks and ear rubs. Tiger has come a long way since starting his GAP journey and recently came back from foster care where he learnt a lot of new things and found some confidence in his time. Tiger has come back with a newfound confidence, and we are so thrilled how far he has come, whilst he still has times where he is unsure, he tries his very best. We think Tiger may suit living in a home with or without another dog medium or larger and children 15 and over. He will do best in a home with a backyard in a nice quiet area as loud noises and lots of traffic are still very scary for him. Tiger may suit living with full time workers. Tiger has anxiety and is on medication to help with this.

Bailey

4 years old

Bailey is a sweet and friendly fawn boy with a happy, outgoing personality that makes him a favourite wherever he goes. Confident and personable, he loves meeting new people and is always keen to make new friends. This affectionate boy enjoys being close to his humans and has a charming habit of rubbing himself against his handler when he wants attention or a cuddle. Bailey is very treat-motivated, which makes him a fun companion and a willing learner. While he's generally quite confident, he does have a slightly submissive nature that adds to his gentle and lovable character. An active lad who enjoys getting out and about, Bailey can occasionally be strong on the lead when something catches his interest, but he remains easy-going and eager to please. With his wise expression and distinguished looks, he often gives the impression of being an older gentleman, adding even more character to his already endearing personality. Bailey is looking for a family who will enjoy his affectionate nature, appreciate his happy outlook on life, and provide plenty of love, adventures, and treats along the way. If you're searching for a loyal companion with a big heart and plenty of personality, Bailey could be your perfect match.

Bob

3 years old

Bob is the sort of greyhound who makes friends wherever he goes. Sweet, friendly, and full of enthusiasm for life, this handsome boy has a confident and outgoing nature that shines through from the moment you meet him. Bob is affectionate without being demanding, loves spending time with his people, and has a wonderfully puppyish outlook on the world. He is eager to please, often seeking eye contact as if checking in to make sure he's doing the right thing, and his happy, engaging personality makes him a joy to have around. Bob is looking for a home with children aged 10 years and over or an adult-only household where he can be included as part of the family. Due to his size and youthful exuberance, he is not suited to a home with elderly residents. He could happily live as an only dog soaking up all the attention, or with a medium to large canine companion who can match his friendly nature. Bob is not suited to apartment living and would love a home with space to stretch his legs, enjoy his daily adventures, and continue being the fun-loving, affectionate companion he was born to be.
