2020 GAP National Adoption Day Postponed
As a consequence of the evolving situation with COVID-19, a decision has unfortunately been made nationally to postpone the GAP National Adoption Day, scheduled for Sunday 19 April, until further notice.
GAP National Adoption Day 2019
The GAP National Adoption Day is back on Sunday 28 April 2019! After a successful first year we are again combining forces with all the national greyhound rehoming agencies to find furever homes for our lovely retired greyhounds.
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.

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.”
