Grey of the Month
Amy - aged 8
|
Amy is a gorgeous girl who would suit most homes. She enjoys the company of school aged children, and loves a cuddle and belly rub (she will lie at your feet for one).
She is quite active for an older girl and would love a yard to do a zoomie or two in. She loves her walks and is generally very easy to walk. For more details about Amy 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 Foster carers needed (in or near Melbourne)
Cody
|
Why not think about saving a greyhound? GSN desperately need more Foster carers. If you have a ‘cat-free home’, please look at Cody's appealing eyes, and consider fostering to save a greyhound’s life. When you join the GSN Fostering team, we will support you with a mentor and our closed Foster facebook page. Worried you won't be able to part with the dog? You will get to meet the loving family who want to adopt your greyhound, and you can choose to stay in touch with them - which makes the parting so much easier. More information on fostering at Fostering a Greyhound or Apply Online now. |
Greyhounds no longer require muzzles!
|
The muzzle laws in Victoria changed on 1st January, 2019, for pet greyhounds that have been adopted and are registered with their local council.
GSN wishes to share with you some tips and traps: 🐾 Although muzzles can legally come off, the leash must stay on, even in designated ‘off-leash’ areas. This is required by law under the Domestic Animals Act, and that law is not changing. 🐾 GSN recommend avoiding taking your greyhound to off-leash areas, as it may become frustrated and upset with surrounding dogs running off-leash. 🐾 If your dog is overly excitable or reactive around other dogs, please continue to use the muzzle to protect other dogs, and your dog as well, as a dog can be declared ‘dangerous’ or ‘menacing’ if it attacks or even rushes another dog. |

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 |
GSN's Greyhound Car!
|
GSN was extremely fortunate to be one of the recipients of the Victorian Government's Animal Welfare grants, which assisted us to buy a new vehicle for our mobile rescue and rehoming service.
Sarah Jane May kindly donated her beautiful ‘pointy friends’ artwork for the car, and pictured enjoying the spacious interior are GSN adoptees Mitch (rear seat), Debbie (front). |
