Greyhound Safety Net is an incorporated association which rescues and rehomes Greyhounds, and tries to lend a helping hand to other Greyhounds in need.
We invite you to look through our website for information about us, our dogs available for adoption, and how you might help a Greyhound move from kennel to couch.

These wonderful Greyhounds are looking for their "forever" home. Full details of the individual dogs can be found on our "Looking for Homes" page.
We have also added a section called "Retirees for Retirees", where dogs we consider suitable for older persons wanting someone special to share their lives with are listed.

Foster carers needed urgently
We are in urgent need of foster carers to help out with our 'older girls' while they patiently wait for their forever homes. Could you please contact Julie on 0431 747 130 if you can find a place in your home and your heart to help out one of these beautiful 'oldies'.
Official GSN Car

Julie now has an official, Greyhound Safety Net car to ferry around the many Greyhounds she helps to re-home.
Having a reliable car is vital to GSN's rescue activities, owning to the many miles Julie covers.
Many thanks to all those who helped with the raising of funds for this particular purpose, which has turned a dream into a reality.

Carer and dog happy with 'failures'

DEE Dee the greyhound and Albury’s Jacinta Ducat make the perfect pair because, well, to put it bluntly, they’re both failures.
Dee Dee wasn’t good enough to be a racing greyhound, they said she lacked “racing instinct” and, problematically, she didn’t know when to stop running after the race had finished.
She was adopted from a Chiltern kennel by Greyhound Safety Net without having won any prizemoney.
Her foster mum also admits she may be a failure.
That’s because she’s fallen so in love with the long-legged mutt she has decided she doesn’t want to adopt her out after all.
“I may be a failed foster carer, she’s just so beautiful,” Ms Ducat said.

Retirees for Retirees presentation at Mornington Retirement Village
Greyhound Safety Net recently introduced some of our Greyhounds to the residents at Mornington Retirement Village, the afternoon being a great success according to the residents.
The event was also published in the local paper, so hopefully it will lead to more elderly people realising that a Greyhound is just what they need in their lives.
