GSN has been established for over 15 years

and provides a safety net for greyhounds who might not otherwise get the chance of a forever home. GSN is a charity run by volunteers, so we appreciate your patience while we are working on the business of rescuing and rehoming greyhounds.
Please note do not promise we will be able to provide a greyhound to you as we allocate greyhounds based on the best match for them, and your home may not be the right match for the greyhounds we currently have in our care.

​More information about the adoption process can be found here

Cats and small animals
​Unless noted as cat-friendly, most greyhounds will not be considered safe around cats.
We are unable to test greyhounds with chooks, guinea pigs, birds, or other small animals, so please consider this before applying for a greyhound if you have other small animals in the home.

We don't adopt greyhounds by colour
Most greyhounds bred are black, and therefore there are very few other colours available for adoption. We match our greyhounds to applicants based on the greyhound’s personality and needs, not their colour.

Females vs Males?
All greyhounds have individual personalities, but they are all lovely. However as a (grossly) generalized rule, boys tend to be a bit more affectionate and soppy than girls.

Do you live in an Apartment?
It needs more commitment to care for a greyhound in an Apartment. So please read our information on  the Greyhounds and apartment living page before you apply to adopt or foster a GSN greyhound.

All GSN greyhounds are:

•   Desexed, vaccinated, micro chipped, wormed, heartworm tested and health checked
•   Shown how to be a pet by our trusted foster carers

At GSN we:

• Take the time to understand what our dogs need, so will only suggest appropriate dogs for your circumstances - that also means we will discourage you if you want a dog that we know you are not a great match for
• Introduce you to the foster carer so you can understand more about the greyhound’s personality and needs
• Offer ongoing support from your greyhound's foster carer and our Adoption Co-ordinator
• Provide each greyhound with a collar, lead and warm coat

Mitzi - aged 5 years
​Kindly sponsored by David, Peta, Oli, Spencer & Nalu in memory of Lena.

Active Princess

Mitzi is a sweet, affectionate girl who loves to cuddle up to her humans. She is quite content to spend most of the day lazing around in the presence of her family. Mitzi is not shy and will make herself at home quickly.

Mitzi looks forward to her twice-daily walks and will not hesitate to remind you when it is time to head out. She is a curious girl and loves to explore and discover new smells. She walks very well on a loose lead and is quite calm around other dogs that pass by.

Mitzi is polite and friendly to humans of all ages however, she needs her personal space while she is snoozing so would not be suitable for a home with young children.

​Mitzi has not had much experience around other dogs and cats. She is quite friendly to dogs she meets when out and about but she will stand her ground if they ignore her boundaries.

Mitzi is not cat tolerant.

Clover - aged 6 years

Sweet Clover

Clover has happy dreams in in many positions. She loves to sleep next to a favourite person on the couch and is just as happy to quietly sleep all day alone or with human company.

Clover loves her all-weather walks and she walks well on the lead. An invitation to walk invokes great joy, however Clover is fearful of other dogs because she was in the past attacked twice by aggressive dogs.

With watchful, positive and gradual reintroduction to dogs outdoors and to children, Clover will be able to learn to trust and feel safe again.

Clover is presently living in harmony with another companion dog at home. She’s also lived happily for years as an only dog. A good eater, Clover is polite around food. She loves bowing for treats, attempting to catch treats in her mouth and doing small zoomies. She adores tummy rubs and will often stretch out her leg to your hand to ask you to hold her paw. Clover would be best suited to a quiet household without small children. She will do best in a quieter suburb rather than the City where she’s likely to encounter dogs around every corner.

​Clover is not cat tolerant.

Rex - ​aged 4 ½ years

The King of Rock

Rex is a big boy but inside that slightly intimidating exterior, there is such a sweet snuggle-bunny who just wants to cuddle up to you and love you and be loved in return, he is the right dog to chill with humans on the couch. He walks well on lead, charms everyone he meets with his demure affection and is nice with both people and other dogs.

Rex travels beautifully in the car, jumps in and lies down.

Rex would be suitable for a family looking for an affectionate greyhound.

Rex is not cat tolerant

Millie - ​aged 2 years

Miss Cuddles

Millie is a respectful young lady, she loves cuddles and lets you know with her paws if she wants more love. She is toilet trained and well behaved inside the house, she has been by herself for at least two hours with no destructive behaviour at all. She has also quickly learned to go up and down the stairs with few steps. She is learning to jump in the car but after she is in travels well and relaxed.

On the street she is an easy walker, she is fine with a couple of daily walks and generally more interested in people rather than dogs. She is friendly with dogs of all sizes though. She is still learning to cope with loud noises like motorbikes or skateboards passing by, so she might not suit families with young children.

Millie would enjoy a family in a quiet home with some doggy companion.

Millie is not cat tolerant

Hercules - aged 5 ½ years

​Ready for a new home​

Hercules is a beautiful brindle boy awaiting to rescue a new family. He is toilet trained, a little bit shy with people when he first meets them, and loves to lie around all day before his afternoon walk. He is a large dog, very long and loves to go into small spaces, and then back out!  He gets on well with other dogs - greyhound and staffy (both females), and loves walking with them.  He is very easy to walk on the lead, walks to heel and just goes along with wherever he is taken.

He is also okay with being left for short periods of time. He would suit a family with older children (due to size mostly), or a couple.  OK in a small yard, can manage a short flight of steps, and he can manage 5 km walks, but would he be happy with any walk.

Hercules is not cat tolerant.

Tammy - aged 4 years

Would you scratch my belly?

Tammy is a fun, extremely playful, cheeky, feisty and  affectionate girl. She walks beautifully on the lead and travels well in the car. She loves toys, playing soccer and pottering around the yard. She has got the knack of toilet training and is getting better and not stealing exciting things like shoes, remotes and so on. She loves cuddles and belly scratches and is currently residing with 2 males and 1 female greyhound. She would love a home with a yard and another greyhound friend with full-time workers or would be just as happy as an only dog with part-time workers. She loves to meet people and be part of your life. She is been to quite a few greyhound walks/events and is a social butterfly.

Tammy is not cat tolerant.

Ashley - aged 4 ½ years

Where is my sock Ashley?

Ashley has a really sweet, gentle mischievous disposition. Currently, she is happily living alongside a very senior girl. Ashley adores company, so would need a home where she has not been left alone all day. A home where someone works part-time, at most and preferably where there is another doggy companion.

She is playful. She loves fetching a ball, although it needs working on the bringing it back part. She is also a bit of a hoarder. If something is missing like a sock? A shoe, perhaps? Or maybe a toy? Check Ashley’s bed. Nothing is ever chewed or damaged. She just likes having stuff in her bed.

Ashley walks very placidly on her lead, is easy to feed and sleeps quietly snuggled under her blanket,  all night in her bed next to her foster career and is toilet trained. There is no small children, small dogs or a cat so she has not been tested for these, but she appears to be non-reactive to other dogs that she has met on the walks.

Ashley is not cat tolerant.

Phoebe - aged 9 years

** adoption pending **

Made for Retirement

Phoebe is one of our gorgeous older girls that everyone should have one of. She is a happy, settled girl who gets along with her current companions both older greyhounds but would also suit a home where she was an only dog as long as she had some company and is not left alone all day long. She walks well on the lead and like a lot of older girls does require exercise, one leisurely walk per day is fine by her. She can be a bit fussy with her food.

Phoebe is not cat tolerant.

Ellie - aged 2 ½ years

​** adoption pending **

Lovable Companion

Meet Ellie, a sweet and gentle girl, she is such a funny little cutie. Ellie is flourishing in her new life as a pet and is looking for a home where she is part of the family because she will love you, that is for sure! She will come and snuggle up on the couch with you (on top of you if you allow it!).

Ellie loves food, lots of cuddles, being goofy, chilling on the couch, going for walks, visiting 'foster grandma's' house, and wagging her tail all the time.  She is a quick learner and is eager to please; she is excellent on a loose lead, uses the doggy door, is toilet trained, and travels well in the car.  She is good with other dogs, and happily lives with two other dogs.  Ellie is becoming accustomed to loud roads, fast bicycles, and busy Bunnings.

Given Ellie is quite young, she would be suitable for a fairly active family, or a home with another playful dog, as she really likes greys.  She loves her two walks a day, and will happily lie around relaxing at home when nothing else is going on.  Ellie can be left alone by herself (with canine company) without any troubles.

Ellis is a really special and placid girl who is going to bring such love and devotion into her forever home. 

​Ellie is not cat tolerant.

Phantom - aged 2 years

​** adoption pending **

The Goofy Pup

Phantom is a big boy who does not quite know his size but loves being around people. Everyone who meets him falls in love instantly. He loves kisses and cuddles and would be happy if you pet him all day long. Phantom is happy to snooze most of the time but is very adventurous.

He likes car rides, settles quickly, and enjoys the fresh air and letting the wind flow through his ears. He LOVES walks, which are the highlight of his day. He loves to explore and would benefit from a morning and evening walk.

He is a smart boy and has learnt a few household tricks, so whilst he is a big fan of food, he now waits patiently for his dinner and treats. Phantom can play on his own with toys but very much enjoys the company of other dogs. He can get overexcited at times and needs a little extra work on his behavioural training.

He would make a great family member for an active household, one that will take him out on weekend trips and ideally with a friendly female dog that he can run around with.

​Phantom is not cat tolerant.

Sienna - aged 7 years
Kindly sponsored by the Lokuge family in loving memory of Lucy

​** adoption pending **

A Spotty Grey

Sienna is a happy, friendly dog who loves people and other dogs. Like most greyhounds, she enjoys having a play session followed by a long snooze. She enjoys her walks daily and loves food. Her playful streak means she can get into a bit of mischief but who could stay mad with that face for long?

She needs a bit more toilet training but will work with you when you work with her. Overall she is a lovely dog who will make a wonderful pet.

Sienna is not cat tolerant.
