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
Lully
I’m a playful girl who would love to share my home with some dog savvy children to play with. I would also love another calm dog for company but could settle with someone home more often than not.
More about me
Lanky
I am the lankiest of the Biggest Friendliest Giants and the GAP staff think I’d do well in most household situations.

Possum

More about me
Rowdy
I bet you’re thinking with a name like Rowdy that I must be an outgoing, full on pup…. Well that couldn’t be further from the truth! I’m a shy, sweet natured boy who does take some time to adjust to new situations and would need a calm, quiet home that are happy to take time with me to allow me to settle in at my own pace.
More about me
Enigma
I am a bit of an enigma in the fact I am a little unsure of other dogs as am still sussing out the fact that they come in different shapes of sizes. I am a shyer boy so would prefer a quieter home with someone home more often as think I would benefit from having someone to really bond with.
More about me
Joey
Did you know I was born on Valentine’s Day! Well all that extra love around has turned me into a smoochy, friendly, loving boy who can’t wait to find his forever home.
More about me
Reggie
For an older boy I certainly act like a younger pup and can be excitable when meeting new human and doggy friends.
More about me
Snagga
