Zoe, Joel & Pants

It's been just over a year since we adopted our silly guy Pants (formerly known as Shadow).

He's the silliest, sweetest dog who loves showing off and snoozing in the sunshine. He already has more sets of pyjamas than we do, and loves to snuggle up no matter the temperature. He loves looking at the ocean when we go for beach walks and has settled into our home and lives beautifully. We can't wait for all the love-filled years to come with our darling boy.

Love Zoe & Joel

Winx ARP

3 years old

Meet Winx, a beautiful female greyhound with a calm, polite nature and a heart full of sweetness. She is gentle and personable, taking her cues from the people around her and doing her very best to please. Winx can be a little anxious in new situations, but reassurance and kind guidance go a long way—once she settles, her affectionate and thoughtful personality truly shines. She enjoys quiet companionship and will happily be by your side, soaking up the comfort of a predictable routine.
Winx would do well in a home with adults, elderly adopters, or families with children aged 10 and over who can respect her sensitive side. She would be happiest as an only dog, or with a compatible medium to large canine companion who matches her calm energy. With patience, love, and a peaceful home, Winx will reward her people with loyalty, grace, and a gentle presence that makes every day a little brighter.

‍

This dog is part of our Assisted Rehoming Program (ARP). ARP dogs are kept with their racing owners until they find an adoptive home, at which point they are brought back into GAP. This means that should you be interested in adopting this dog, we are bringing the dog into GAP on the understanding that you will be adopting them. As such, you will not be able to meet any other dogs, as you otherwise would be able to.

Jett

5 years old

Meet Jett, if you’re looking for a big, fun-loving personality to bring energy into your life — Jett might just be your perfect match. Jett is a handsome, social boy who absolutely loves being around people. He’s friendly, outgoing and full of confidence, with a playful, puppyish nature that shines through in everything he does. Whether it’s chasing toys, enjoying treats, or bouncing around with excitement, Jett lives life at full speed and brings a lot of joy (and laughs) with him. He’s an eager boy who wants to please and thrives on interaction, but he can be boisterous and a little rough at times. Because of this, Jett will need an experienced handler who is comfortable with larger, excitable dogs and can continue to guide him with consistent training and structure. Jett may suit living with a robust medium or large dog who can match his playful energy. He could also be suitable for a home with kids 10+, provided they are confident and experienced around big, lively dogs. A secure backyard is a must for Jett, giving him the space he needs to burn off energy and enjoy his playful zoomies. Jett is a big character with an even bigger heart — and in the right home, he’s going to be an incredibly fun and rewarding companion.

Benny

4 years old

Meet Benny, a quiet and sweet greyhound with a quirky charm. Benny made great progress after completing behavioural rehabilitation training and is ready for a loving home. Benny may suit a household with kids 5+ or adults who appreciate his personable vibe – no small dogs or cats, please! He'd love to be the only dog or may suit to live with a medium to large dog who shares his calm energy. If you're looking for a loyal companion who's a bit of a unique character, Benny is your guy! A mild heart murmur has been discovered on examination. This murmur isn't causing any clinical signs. Most greyhounds with a low-grade heart murmur will live a normal healthy life with no development of congestive heart disease.
