Greyhounds for Adoption

All GSN greyhounds are desexed, vaccinated, micro-chipped, wormed, heartworm tested and health checked.
Our greyhounds live in foster homes up until the time you adopt them, as this provides you with a well socialised pet.

Rani (Queen in Hindi) - aged 2½

Rani is our very first foster dog and reminds us very much of our first greyhound who we have now had for about 9 years. As the pictures suggest she is a stunning little queen with a personality to match. She is young and a bit cheeky, and still behaves like a pup at times. On the odd occasion she can be found sneaking away with the kids soft toys, but she is no good at being discrete.
She is very affectionate and will curl into your lap for a pat. She likes nothing more than to lie with the family in the rumpus room and get cuddles. She is also equally happy to curl up and snooze by herself in a separate room.
She shares our home with two other greyhounds. Being the new dog in the house she has been trying to assert herself so there will be occasional growls and barks but this is nothing out of the ordinary. She is good with our four year old but a bit wary of the crawler. She is a timid girl and only needs to be spoken to in a soft tone. She is very intelligent and has taken to her new name in under 2 weeks and is toilet trained.
She is a dream to walk on the lead. She does not pull and greets dogs appropriately without being overenthusiastic. She interacts well with big and small dogs alike and is more interested in the larger dogs than the smaller ones. At the dog park she likes to get cuddles from people.
At this point she ideally needs two walks a day with the last one just before bed to prevent accidents in the house overnight.
She has a beautiful personality and will make a wonderful affectionate pet for a lucky family.

Stella - aged 3

Sponsored by Renee Kelly and Antoinette Ciconte

Stella has a sweet and playful nature. Her Foster carer says: "Stella loves snuggles, and in our house she's allowed on the bed and she really enjoys the pats and physical touch. She does a sweet thing where she will wine softly if you stop patting her.
She walks well on a lead, she loves to smell EVERYTHING! A good 20-30 minute walk does her fine. She seems to take a particular interest in children, she often gets really excited and curious when she sees them on our walks. She also loves meeting new people and dog friends, especially other greyhounds. She LOVES playing a game of chasey!

Stella prefers greenery over busy streets, as she can be a bit shy and more introverted when there is a lot of noise going on around her. She will cope as a solo dog, although she really loves other dogs. Don't think she is suited to a family/individual who is out all the time/works full time. She really enjoys company and can become quite anxious if left for extended periods of time.
She has been wonderful and we're going to be very sad to see her go, she's been truly special."
Stella will be available for adoption in late July.

Lady - aged 5 Adoption pending

Ebony - aged 2½

Ebony is an active young girl who is playful, energetic and has lots of love to give. She loves nothing more than a cuddle and belly scratch.
She walks well on the leash - calmly and without pulling - and is not bothered by other dogs, bicycles or people when out walking. She is an energetic pup and needs a 30 minute walk a day and some playtime, otherwise she gets bored and run laps around the house. However, she is not destructive. She likes to play with toys and definitely loves to interact and play with her foster dog mates in the home.

Ebony is great with people and very friendly. She does not react to small or large dogs outside of the home. She is great in the car and lies down to sleep once on the road - although currently she still needs help getting into the car.

She has coped well during the day when her foster family aren't home, but ideally would benefit from the company of another dog as she is very sociable and may get lonely.
Ebony is one of the 'All Blacks' - refer GSN Facebook post on 13th June. GSN also have Ebony's big brother, Tripper.
Ebony will be available for adoption in late July.

George - aged 3½ Cat friendly

Do you like your greyhounds soft and white like pandas or polar bears? If so, George is your man. Do you also need a gentle, cat-friendly greyhound who’s fully toilet-trained and wonderful for walking and travel? Then look no further than George! He’s a handsome, perfectly ‘chilled’ boy with the body of a dancer, friendly towards everyone he meets but with no jumping or naughty behaviour. He never raced but was brought up with his siblings and in a home environment, which is probably why he’s so at ease and secure in himself. He loves his walks and is calm on lead, he enjoys hanging around the yard for a while with his bone and he sleeps through the night. He has a huge variety of facial expressions to make you laugh, including “I’m so tired I can’t move”, and “I’m so excited that I have to investigate” and “Oh, ok, so this is what being a spoilt couch potato really means?”
He’d be fine as an only dog and he’s gentle enough for children, so why not make him a new addition in your house for Spring? He’ll certainly put constant smiles on the faces of his new family and, like the first blooms of the season, his presence will bring cheer into your house.

Tripper - aged 2½

Tripper is a very curious, smoochy and sociable boy. He loves company, hugs and pats and likes to be near his humans as much as possible. He is new into foster care, so is getting used to being on his own during the day when we are at work, but prefers to be snuggled up on the couch indoors with everyone at home. He enjoys his walks and rarely pulls on the lead. Although he loves relaxing and snoozing, at times he is also quite playful and energetic so along with a big walk each day he also needs some play time to release extra energy.
He was completely toilet trained from day one and also sleeps right through the night. He is great with children but because he is a big boy, he can get very excited around children who are smaller than him and try to lick them to death! He is not fussed by noisy household appliances but is still getting used to scooters when outside. He is very interested in other dogs and saying hello and overall is quite calm around them. At this stage we feel he would be best suited to a busy household where people are around most of the time to keep him company. He would also enjoy a large outdoor space where he can do his zoomies without banging into things.
GSN also have Tripper's little sister, Ebony.
Tripper is one of the 'All Blacks' - refer GSN Facebook post on 13th June.
Tripper will be available for adoption end July.

Poppy - aged 3

Poppy has settled in well to pet life and gets along with the greyhound in her foster home. She takes most things in her stride. She loves riding in the car and settles down for a nap, she loves her food, and doesn’t try and steal the other dog’s food.

Poppy adores meeting people and getting attention, especially from children and will stand there while toddlers poke at and pat her, just wagging her tail. She is very pretty and delightfully charming, willing to give anyone a cuddle – and she gives very good cuddles! She is not worried about traffic, construction, trains or crowds. But she doesn't like is being left outside by herself and throws tantrums, so her foster mum is working on this.

She is not a high energy dog. Ideally, she would suit a home with another dog, or someone who is home a lot and who has a lot of children. If you pay her any attention, her tail is always wagging - her way of saying she loves you.
Poppy will be available for adoption in late August.

Betty - aged 2

Hi, pleased to meet you, I’m Betty, my foster mum calls me Betty Boop cause I’m cute, or Black Betty when I’m being stubborn.
I can get in the car by myself and curl up for a sleep, I love my bed (oops I mean mum’s bed), her cats are cute and I’m just getting to know them.
Mum takes me to work EVERYDAY !! YES !! EVERYDAY !! Lucky for me she runs a doggy day care centre, so I get to meet and play with LOTS of different doggies, big and small!! My best buddy is a Dalmatian, we have Long chats ( Zzzzzz) on the couch. I get along well with the other dogs, I LOVE to chase and get the balls when mum and her friends throw them, I just don’t like giving them back all the time, I mean… really… I’m more a collector than returner.
I don’t really like being left alone and would really love a human who would just spend heaps of time with me and spoil me rotten. In return my human will get lots of snuggles, kisses and all my love.
Betty will be available for adoption in early August.

Alistair - aged 3½

Natalie - aged 2

My name is Natalie, and I'd heard on the grape vine, that this foster house I've been sent to has Bull Terriers and 4 year old twins. OMG, so the first day I was here, I pretended I was deaf. Then I realized, these kids have food, as do the adults. Plus they give cuddles, lots of pats, a comfy dog bed, soft toys to play with, they walk you. Oh, and those Bull Terriers aren't too bad either.
So you'd like to know more about me, I turned two in March, actually International Womans Day is my birthday, so clearly I'm a powerful woman. I did some racing, but I think I'm far too tall and elegant for the race track, I'd rather be prancing on a lead or laying around your house. I love going for walks and nothing phases me, although I'd love it if more people stopped to pat me, getting love is pretty good. I only go to the toilet outside of course, I love my tucker, as I'm a growing girl. I haven't met many other dogs, apart from these mutts that are here, I growled and barked at first, let them know I was boss. But it didn't fool them, so we are mates now. I love the kids that live here too, they give great pats and treats too. I am looking for a home where people obviously can pat me, I don't care about being left alone, I love my walks, I love food. I can't think of anything else in my wish list at this stage.
I'll be making a special appearance at the GSN Winter Warmer so do come and meet me - you'll fall in love!

Snowy - aged 4

Bess - aged 2

Bessie is one pretty blue fawn girl. She is settling well into foster care and is a bit of a character. She absolutely loves her food and will have a bit of a cheeky counter surf to find it. She is swiftly learning that four paws on the floor gets her more rewards. Poor Bessie didn't understand what playing was at the start, she has slowly started to learn and grabs a toy every now and then.

Bessie walks brilliantly on lead and doesn't seem too bothered by other dogs that come to greet her. She is a real leaner and will lean on you for ages. She sleeps well through the night but has taken to having a bit of a loud sing for her breakfast in the morning. This is improving each day and she is learning that she is not Adele and needs to be patient :) She is a wiz at the stairs, but still needs a bit of help to get in the car. She is very food driven, so her training is going really well.
