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
Lachy
Do you want a greyhound with a bundle of energy and personality? Well if so I’m certainly the dog for you! I’m great with other dogs of any shape and size and am not too fazed about interacting with them.

Kira
Do you want a dog with personality plus? If so, I’m the dog for you! I have energy to burn so would be better suited to a more active household who are happy to take me out and about with them.

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
Ty
I have had a great time playing with all the other younger dogs here and would need my new home to have a playful, preferably slightly larger breed dog for me to play with (sometimes I forget my own size!).
More about me
Princess
I’m a very sweet natured, gentle greyhound who I think would fit well in most households.
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
PJ
I’m an excitable boy who just adores people and loves coming up for head scratches.
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
Stocky
I am a very affectionate boy and will always come up for a cuddle whenever I can.
More about me
Nordic
I think I’d be really well suited to someone who works part time or a household where people are in and out. I don’t think I need somewhere there most of the time, but sporadically would be nice!
More about me
Mia
At only 18months I’m still quite puppy like in my behaviour and would love if my new family could keep up my training.
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 but would of course prefer if my hoomans were home more than not.
More about me
Spook
I was hoping to be adopted by Halloween but I’m sure there’s still some ‘spooky’ lovers out there! I’m a tall, leggy boy who I think would adjust well to living in most households.
More about me
Pete
I’m one of the smallest male greyhounds that has ever come through GAP and I am frequently called ‘adorable’ and ‘a pocket sized greyhound’ by the GAP staff. Being a bit older I’m a settled, calm boy and have impeccable lead manners.
More about me
Wilson
I’m a happy, friendly boy who doesn’t turn two until New Years Day (imagine the party I’m going to get!!). For a puppy I’m really well behaved and have learnt a lot since being at GAP.
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
Ziggy
For a young dog I’m pretty chilled out and easy going. I am happy enough keeping myself occupied with my toys but am equally content to have my humans around me.
