WHY ADOPT A GREYHOUND FROM US?
Great pets
Greyhounds make great pets, they are quiet, well mannered, and very easy to live with. They are friendly, lazy, calm, affectionate, clean, loving, trusting, good-natured and very social.

Low maintenance
Greyhounds require less exercise than people think, they also have very little odour and shed minimally. Head to our FAQ page for more greyhound myth busters!

Green Collar
Once you have been issued a Green Collar your greyhound will not need to wear a muzzle in public. We are the only rehoming group in WA able to issue a muzzle exemption in the form of
a Green Collar.
Twice as fun
Greyhounds love the company of other dogs. If you are looking for a companion for an existing dog, a greyhound is the perfect addition to your family.

She is the perfect companion to our small elderly terrier too! We would highly recommend welcoming a greyhound into your home and hearts.”
“GAP have supported our family through two adoptions for our two beautiful greyhounds. The love and care they have for each dog is incredible. Every success can be attributed to their wonderful staff, volunteers, programs and foster carers.”
“You have given us a beautiful grey in Bear! We love him to bits and he’s fitted in perfectly with us. He surprised us with how quickly he adapted to us and our routine. He was toilet trained in a couple of days and has been friendly and gentle with children, adults and the many animals he’s met in the two weeks we’ve had him.”

Aloe
I’ve just celebrated my second Birthday at the GAP kennels and we had an awesome time, I got to play with some of the other dogs and eat doggy cake – it was delicious! I have a skin condition which is currently treated but it may be something I have for life.

Space
I’m a very gentle dog and for my age I’m actually pretty chilled out and well behaved.

Ty
I have had a great time playing with all the other younger dogs here and would need my new home to have a playful, preferably slightly larger breed dog for me to play with (sometimes I forget my own size!).
More about me
Whitney
Because of my initially shy personality I would prefer a home where someone was home more often or where there was another dog to keep me company.
More about me
Sooty
Can you guess how I got my name? That’s right, it’s because of my beautiful soft soot coloured coat! I also have the cutest ears where one tends to pop up while the other flops forward – apparently it makes me ‘adorable’.

Dino
I’m cuddly with the people I know and am really looking forward to having a loving family who can spend time with me and help me gain my confidence.
More about me
Comma
I’ve heard myself described as a bit of a ‘shadow’ here at GAP and I know I do like to follow people around if I can. I’m just really affectionate you see and love spending as much time as I can with people.
