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.”

Heads
I think I’d do better with either another playful dog for company or with a family who are home more often than not.

Tails
I am confident enough to be re-homed as the only dog with someone home often or could alternatively have another doggy friend for company. I would love if my doggy friend was as playful as me, I sure do love playing!

Dozer
I have the calm, cruisy nature of an older dog though and am happy just shadowing my human friends around.
More about me
Goldie
I just love having people around so would prefer a home with someone who doesn’t work hugely long hours or if they do they’re happy to spend some quality time with me when they’re home.

Penny
While I can be shy in new situations it doesn’t take me long at all to come out of my shell and show my affectionate, loving personality.

Julien
I am so people orientated so would need my ‘furever’ home to have someone home more often than not or another doggy friend for company.

Smeagol
I’m a very responsive hound and I’ve heard the GAP staff remark about how easily they think I’ll be to train as I already come to my name most of the time and I just lovveeee doing things for treats!
More about me
Jaffa
I’ve had a bit of a different upbringing to most greyhounds in the fact I haven’t really gone through the motions of being trained to race so am a bit of a ‘wild card’. I think with the right helping hand that I would be an awesome family member, I just need someone willing to give me a chance.
More about me
Happy
Hi I'm Happy! “Because I’m Happy…” I certainly suit my name as am a happy go lucky boy who has made many a friend at the GAP kennels.

Ford
I look forward to joining a household who are happy for be to become part of their family and be included in their everyday activities.
More about me
Queenie
I didn’t get the memo that I’m turning three this year and still act and look very puppy-like. I’m a tiny greyhound, weighing in at only 24kgs, but have plenty of personality to make up for my size.
