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
Donny
I act a lot younger than my five and a half years suggest and would be better suited to a household where I have another doggy friend for company.
More about me
Nettle
At only just over two years old I’m just a puppy who wants a family to call their own. I’m not as prickly as my name suggests and am a shier girl who would need a quiet and patient home.
More about me
Rubble
The first thing you’ll notice about me is my striking good looks, and I must agree, I’m a pretty handsome dude! But I also have quite the endearing personality.
More about me
Vice
I’m just a pup at three years old and would love a household who want a young dog to share in their adventures and be part of the family. I’m still at that great ‘sponge’ stage where I’m eager to learn new things so I think I’ll adjust well to home life.
More about me
Char
I’m an absolute sweetheart of a dog and once I know you I’m full of cuddles and teeny tiny snoot kisses. I can be a little shy so would prefer a quieter home where I can gain confidence.
More about me
Coal
I think I could easily live with another dog of any breed or perhaps go on my own with a family who are happy to spend time helping me adjust to ‘only’ living.
More about me
Dyno
You wouldn’t know it from my photos but I have one of those ears that flop forward, apparently it makes me ‘adorable’ whatever that means! I’m an outgoing friendly boy who the GAP staff think would cope well living on my own (with my daily walks of course).
More about me
Clooney
‘Make the ordinary extraordinary’.. Ring any bells? Yep that’s right I was named after my equally as handsome Nespresso ambassador George Clooney.

Boris
I’m an eager to please dog who has really excelled at training and would do well with an experienced owner.
