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.

Official GSN Car
Julie's beaming face looking out from the driver's seat.
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.

Stella - a success story
Stella was adopted last year by her foster carer, Richard. Though he pretty quickly fell in love with her, she was something of a 'wild child'.
Even though she was three years old, she had no training, and really didn't know how to behave. She also didn't listen very well to Richard! Julie suggested they try obedience training, as it would help Stella to listen and learn, and would help form a bond between them.
Stella recently won her class in an obedience trial, much to everyone's surprise. She was the only Greyhound entered, and did Greyhounds everywhere proud.
The picture above shows Stella with her first prize ribbon, looking very pleased with herself.
"Way to go, Stella!" We are very proud of you and Richard.
