Xavier, Jacqueline & Cardi

Cardi came into our lives in January 2024. We arrived at GAP having recently lost our rescue dog Kimchi a month earlier.

Cardi was the first greyhound we met and we didn’t look back. The first few days at home she spent curled up in a bed, adjusting to her surroundings. She didn’t even go to the toilet for a couple of days.

At some point she warmed up and in less than a week she was playfully roaching on her back, claiming the sofa for herself and gaining confidence. If there’s something that continues to impress us it’s her adaptability and openness.

Since those early steps we’ve gone on to have lots of adventures from road trips to go hiking in the Blue Mountains to snow fights in the Alpine mountains in Victoria. We love her so much!

You can find her on Instagram: @Cardi_hound

Love Xavier & Jacqueline

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.

Bond

5 years old

Meet Bond, a handsome greyhound with a big personality and a zest for life. Friendly, outgoing, and always ready for adventure, he loves meeting people, zooming around the yard, and bringing fun to every day. Bond is looking for an active home with children aged 5 years and over. He may suit life as an only dog or with a playful medium to large canine companion, but he cannot live with cats. Due to his enthusiastic nature, a home with elderly people would not be suitable. Bond also has a benign condition called fibrous gingival hyperplasia, a harmless thickening of the gums identified during a dental procedure in August 2026. If you're looking for a loyal, energetic companion with a licence for fun, Bond could be your perfect match. When Bond had his dental done in August 2026 areas of gum thickening were noted and biopsies taken. Results showed fibrous gingival hyperplasia, with is a benign thickening of the gums.

Spyro

4 years old

Meet Spyro—LEGENDARY SPYRO, a name that truly reflects his larger‑than‑life charm. At four years old, this handsome greyhound carries himself with a quiet confidence, balancing a calm and easy going nature with a wonderfully social and outgoing personality. Spyro is the kind of dog who wins hearts instantly—affectionate, personable, and always ready to lean in close to his handler for a cuddle or a well‑deserved scratch (especially on his favourite spot—his rump!). While mostly polite on lead, his playful spirit shines through at home, where he loves toys, exploring new surroundings, and investigating the world by gently nudging or moving anything that catches his curiosity. Spyro can get pressure sores on his elbows, so needs to have nice soft bedding. Spyro has already proven himself to be a fantastic companion, having spent time in foster care with his greyhound friend Salma. He thrives in the company of other dogs and would do best in a home with a canine friend of similar size, as well as children aged 10 and over. On warm days, Spyro has his own unique way of keeping cool—standing happily in a shell pool like the legendary character he is. With his sweet nature, playful energy, and love of both people and pups, LEGENDARY SPYRO is ready to write the next chapter of his story with a family who will adore him just as much as he will adore them. Spyro has successfully completed some extra training with out onsite Behavioural Rehabilitation Program (BRP) and is now ready for adoption!

Stormy

6 years old

Stormy is a quiet, sweet girl with a gentle nature and a soft spot for treats and affection. She can be a little submissive at first, but she tries hard and warms up quickly with kindness and patience. Stormy is affectionate, easy to handle and is always happy to work for a tasty treat. Having previously lived in a home environment, Stormy has some experience with household routines and basic life skills, including toilet training. She would suit living with a medium or large canine companion, as she enjoys having company and gains confidence from other dogs. Although generally good on the lead, due to her occasional excitability while walking, Stormy would do best without a frail owner. Stormy may also be suitable to live with children aged 10+.
