Black Gals are Beautiful!
For the month of MAY anyone who adopts a Black FEMALE Greyhound will get the Special Adoption fee of only $195. (This is a whole $100 off our normal adoption fee!)
|
|
At the moment GSN have a number of our black females who are being overlooked – not even getting adoption inquiries. This is inexplicable to us, as GSN know these gals have great personalities and will make adorable pets.
So please have a closer look at our beautiful black gals – don’t let them languish in foster care.
We promise that their beautiful shiney black coats will match all your outfits and of course make them stand out from the crowd, so you’ll get lots of compliments from other dog owners!

Grey of the Month
Elyse - aged 4
|
|
Elyse is an affectionate and playful girl who loves people. She is a little sweetheart with a pretty little bat face and a beautiful glossy coat. She loves going for walks and bunny hops down the hall to get to the door. Elyse needs a doggy companion and enjoys playing with them. She tends to get a bit too excited for very small children.
For more details about Elyse and our other wonderful greyhounds that are looking for their adoptive 'forever' homes, please go to our Greyhounds for Adoption page. GSN greyhounds live in foster homes up until the time you adopt them - as this provides you with a well socialised pet.

GSN need more Foster carers in or near Melbourne
|
GSN are currently having to turn away greyhounds despite knowing their certain fate. If you have a ‘cat-free home’, please consider fostering to save a greyhound’s life.
More information on fostering at Fostering a Greyhound Please consider downloading our Foster poster and putting it up at your work or other community notice board in the Melbourne area. Don't forget to put your name on the poster - so interested people can also talk to you about greyhounds.

Greyhound tails are wagging!
|
GSN are very excited – and extremely grateful – to share the news that the Victorian State Government, through the Minister for Agriculture, Jaala Pulford and the Member for Pascoe Value and Animal Welfare Ambassador, Lizzie Blandthorn, announced GSN was a successful applicant for an Animal Welfare grant. This grant contributed 50% to the total cost of $28,000 to buy a replacement GSN car. The balance was raised through the fundraising efforts of our wonderful volunteers and donations from supporters.
The Minister said “We’re proud to support these volunteer organisations that play such an important role in improving and protecting our pet companions.” The car has been purchased, so those greyhound tails are wagging as they are rescued and ride towards a beloved pet life. GSN are still designing the decals for the new car (advertising our greyhound rescue and rehoming service). We will post photos when the car is ready for the final “reveal”. Pictured is GSN’s President, Sarah Lawson, announcing the grant at our Winter Warmer event held on 29 July at the Southern Obedience Dog Club. Sarah is also pictured with Julie, who is GSN's Adoption co-ordinator and uses the car to pick up and rescue greyhounds. Many of our adopters and supporters attended (and enjoyed!) the 2017 Winter Warmer, which is one of our twice-yearly get-togethers, where we raise funds so we can keep going with our mission of rescuing as many of these beautiful dogs as possible. |

Foster or Sponsor a Greyhound
|
GSN are always in need of more Foster-carers as requests to rescue greyhounds are much greater than the available foster-homes in our program. Our foster-carers are a vital link in the rescue chain, as GSN dogs are kept in foster-homes until adopted. Every greyhound taken into foster care is a dog saved, and every greyhound adopted makes room to save another. More details
Consider Sponsoring a Greyhound for $50
Not everyone can adopt or foster a greyhound, but in this way you can directly help one of our greyhounds find their new home. More details |
