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

Fran

4 years old

Meet Fran, a beautiful greyhound with the softest heart to match her elegant looks. Polite and gentle by nature, Fran is a sweet, affectionate girl who enjoys quiet companionship and kind attention. She has a slightly submissive personality and is happiest in calm environments where she can feel safe and loved. Fran might be well suited to a home with children aged 5+ who understand gentle handling, or with adults looking for a low-key, loving companion. Fran’s easygoing nature means she’s a great match for apartments and could comfortably live with elderly adopters. She would be happiest as an only dog or with a compatible canine companion who shares her relaxed outlook on life. With the right introductions, she may also suit a home with a cat. If you’re looking for a tender, well-mannered greyhound who will bring quiet affection into your home, Fran could be the perfect fit.

Maddox

3 years old

Meet Maddox, a strikingly handsome blue greyhound with unforgettable golden eyes and a big, joyful personality. Friendly, playful, and delightfully puppyish, Maddox loves to engage with the world around him and brings a lot of energy and charm into everyday life. He would thrive in a home with children aged 10+ or adults who can match his enthusiasm and enjoy an active, interactive dog who still has plenty of youthful spirit. Maddox is best suited to a home where he can have space to move and play, so apartment living isn’t recommended. He would be happiest as an only dog or with a confident, sturdy canine companion who can keep up with his play style—older or frail dogs (or people) wouldn’t be a good match for him. With the right introductions, Maddox may be cat friendly. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, lively greyhound with movie-star looks and an affectionate heart, Maddox could be your perfect companion.

If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate greyhound who enjoys simple pleasures and loving companionship, Cheery could be a wonderful addition to your family.

Bruiser

2 years old

How stunning is Bruiser? This boy's brindle colouration is so dark, he almost looks black! He's surely a standout in the crowd. If you're looking for a uniquely coloured boy who is on the small side, then he's the dog for you! Bruiser is a boy who walks well on lead, but sometimes lacks spatial awareness like a goofball! He may suit living in a home with or without another medium or large canine companion, and may suit living with children aged 10 years and over. He would prefer to find a home with a backyard that he can play in.

Gill

2 years old

Gill is a very handsome, personable and friendly fella who seeks eye contact and wants to please his people. He finds breeds off dogs other than greyhounds really scary, so he would prefer a home as the only dog, or with a greyhound friend for company. He may be happy living with kids aged 10 years and over, and may even suit a home with a cat.

Jigsaw

4 years old

What a unique name Jigsaw is! Jigsaw has the cutest pointy ears when he is alert. Jigsaw suffers from some anxiety, sudden noises or movements can startle him but generally recovers quickly and moves on. Once his true personality comes out he is very happy playing with his ball and rope, he shakes hands and gets along well with dogs of similar size, saying that he may suit living as an only dog or with a dog of similar size, he will likely suit children aged in their teenage years. Sorry Jigsaw wouldn’t likely suit living in an apartment.

Lilian

2 years old

Meet Lilian, a loveable, slightly clumsy girl with a heart full of affection. Lilian has a puppyish and playful nature that makes her so endearing, paired with a wonderfully submissive temperament. She can be a little uncoordinated at times which just adds to her charm. Lilian could suit a home as an only dog where she can soak up all the love, or she may be suitable to live with dogs of any size. She will need a home with a secure backyard to play and burn the playful energy. Lilian may be suitable to live with children ages 10+.

Waffles

4 years old

Meet the sweet and affectionate Waffles. She is a true introvert on first meeting her but soon warms up and is your loyal shadow. Due to her anxieties we feel she would do best in a home with a confident canine companion to show her the ropes and help her inner brave shine through. She will likely do best in a quiet home (and neighbourhood) and with no children or children in their teenage years.
