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
Chester
I’m a sweet natured boy who can be a bit anxious in new situations. Because of this I think I’d be best suited to an experienced home or to go with another dog I can gain confidence from.

Sydney
I’m an absolute cuddle monster and just want to be as close to people as I can – sometimes a little too close especially after I’ve been in my paddle pool!
More about me
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
Dezzy
I’ve heard the GAP staff comment they think I’m one of a kind, and since they mean it in a good way, I’m okay with that. I’m quite the active dog you see (especially for a greyhound) and seem to always be on the go.
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
Mardy
I’m a pretty laid back dog who isn’t fazed by too much and I think I’d fit well in most households. I’m confident enough to live as the only dog and think I'd probably prefer this but would of course prefer if my hoomans were home more than not.
More about me
Barrio
I’m only a small girl and can be a bit shy in new situations. In saying that when I gain my confidence I’m very playful and outgoing so I wouldn’t mind being paired up with a like-minded dog.
More about me
Nessy
Now I don’t want anyone thinking I’m named after the Lochness monster, I’m actually quite the opposite of a monster and am a gentle, sweet natured girl.
More about me
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.
More about me
Jameson
I absolutely love other dogs of any breed so would prefer if my new home had a doggy playmate for me to hang out with.
More about me
Lingling
I have a very sweet natured personality and the GAP staff think I’d fit in well in most households.

Smith
I’m actually quite the snugglebunny and just love to shadow the GAP staff around looking for sneaky pats (hence my secret agent identity).
