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.”
GREYHOUNDS READY FOR ADOPTION
Donny
I act a lot younger than my five and a half years suggest and would be better suited to a household where I have another doggy friend for company.

Boris
I’m an eager to please dog who has really excelled at training and would do well with an experienced owner.
More about me
Mal
I’ve gotten along well with the other dogs I’ve met here at GAP but think I’m confident enough to live as an only dog. I’m a very affectionate boy so would love a household where someone is home more often however think I’d also cope well, being left with enrichment toys.
More about me
Ryvita
You would not guess by my outgoing personality that I’m almost four! I find life in general really exciting and would be best suited to an active home who are happy to include me in their day to day activities.
More about me
Ranger
I’m a lanky lad and my nose is about as long as the rest of my body… I think it just makes it easier to snoot up treats!
More about me
Petra
I’m probably the shyest of the sisters yet it just makes me even more lovable and sooky when I do get to know you. I’ve been great with all the other breeds of dog I’ve met.
More about me
Zebra
My playful nature means I’d be better suited to another like-minded dog and I think I’d be great with some dog savvy older children.
More about me
Freddie
I’m a handsome young lad who is on the calmer side for a toddler (I’m only two and a half) and have a pretty easy going nature. I think I would fit in well in most households and look forward to finding my forever family as I adore any kind of attention and love the idea of being part of a bustling family.
