Grey of the Month
Spud Regis - aged 8
|
Spud is a true gentleman. He was a very good race dog in his day, and then followed that with stud dog duties. All that is in his past and he is very contented with retirement. Spud would be fine as an only dog and he does get on with other dogs too, though his preference is for the girls.
Spud walks well on the lead and enjoys an outing in the car. He is a brilliant boy who is looking for a quiet home to enjoy the rest of years in. If you think Spud might be right for you, please ask for a meeting as you won’t be disappointed. For more details about Spud 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.

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 |
