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
Magic
I’m only a baby at under 16months of age and therefore haven’t had much experience as to what this big wide world is all about. I am still finding everything a little bit confusing so would need a calm household who are happy to take things slowly with me and allow me a chance to adjust to new environments in my own time.

Jerry
I may not be as outgoing as Jerry the Mouse but once you get to know me I am as sweet as Ben and Jerry ice-cream.

Dhuie
I am a lovable, goofy boy who would happily take pats all day long if it was offered.

Whitty
I am a very gentle, softly mannered girl and therefore think I’d be fine with dog savvy children of any age.

Aria
Well I am full of beans, Mexican jumping Beans that is! I’m as light as a dancer and love to hop and skip alongside you whilst on lead, I don’t pull though, just dance!
More about me
Possum
I am as sweet and shy as a nocturnal possum and would prefer a calmer, quieter household.
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.

Burrito
I’m a friendly, smoochy boy who would do well in an interactive household who want a four legged member of the family.
More about me
Mamba
I’m a big friendly boy who is a little bit goofy but a whole lot affectionate. I would be better suited to a home with a larger breed of dog as I’m still sussing out what smaller dogs are and can be a little zealous in my greetings.
More about me
Hootagiggle
I am a goofy, affectionate boy who adores people and loves spending as much time with my two legged friends as I can therefore I would prefer a home with someone around more often.

I’m as large as my outgoing personality and I am a big goofball who would be a whole lot of fun for a young couple or more active older family.

Rosie
I am teeny, tiny and an affectionate, loving girl. I can get over excited when first meeting new friends and my bounce does sometimes get the better of me.
More about me
Chucky
I am known as ‘Chucky the Shadow’ here at GAP as I just adore to follow people around but do like attention on my own terms.
More about me
Eli
I may seem confident on the outside but I am a big pussycat on the inside. Because of this I think I would need a quieter home with preferable someone home most of the time.
More about me
Sparky
I am super sweet and the way I enjoy a cuddle will certainly warm your heart. I have been learning fetch and am getting really good at bringing back and dropping the toy.
