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
Kindly Sponsored by Tim & Amelia

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
Kindly Sponsored by Tim & Amelia

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

Taylor - aged almost 3 years
Kindly sponsored by Antoinette Ciconte

Peace and Love Friends!

Taylor is a friendly girl who can be a bit shy and aloof at first, but once she gets to know you, will try to give you kisses. She is an affectionate girl who is very happy to snooze the day away as long as she has her humans around!
She needs a bit of help with being left alone,  so suits better with a family where someone is at home most of the time. She has one or two good zoomies in her each day, and then needs a rest. She also loves tug-of-war, and can be excitable at times when telling you that she wants to play.
She walks very well on the lead, and loves other large dogs. Small dogs are still a bit strange to Taylor, and she is not sure whether to play or run away.
Taylor is good with kids, but would prefer a quieter life with older children who can respect her space and need for quiet time.

Soxy - aged almost 4 years
Kindly sponsored by Antoinette Ciconte

** adoption pending **

What's for dinner today?

​Soxy is a sweet and very affectionate girl. She is a kids lover and people in general. However, she can jump on people when excited, so is better suitable for families with adults-only or school aged children. She is toilet trained, good with the stairs  and has very good house manners.

She jumps quite easily on the car and settles after a few minutes. Soxy is also a very, very, good eater, so it is quite easy to motivate her to learn new things. She is very smart and a quick learner.

On walks, she pulls a little especially when other dogs pass by. She is friendly with medium to large dogs, but still needs more work on socializing with small ones, pocket pets most likely are not a good fit for her. Soxy needs a couple of daily walks 

Soxy is not cat tolerant.

Hercules - aged 5 ½ years
Kindly sponsored by Antoinette Ciconte

​** adoption pending **

​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.

Pete is a quiet soul, very friendly and has not got into any mischief.
He is really good with kids, very tolerant and follows them around.
The rest of the time he is sleeping and settles very well.
He might be a good match for a first time dog owner

Tammy - aged 4 years

Would you scratch my belly?

** adoption pending **

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.

Millie - ​aged 2 years

** adoption pending **

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

Walker - aged 2 ½ year

​** adoption pending **

Treats? Squeaky toys? I'm in!

​Walker is a lovely, gentle and affectionate boy who takes everything in his stride. He walks beautifully on the lead, is toilet trained and generally a well behaved and respectful boy.
​
Walker enjoys the company of his foster greyhound brother and sister, so much that he would love a home with a medium-large fur companion. He also loves being near his humans and would suit a family where someone is home more often than not, although he does do well on his own for a few hours.
 
Walker spends most of his days snoozing and is not overly active, but loves a daily half an hour walk and a backyard for the occasional zoomie. Oh, he also wants to make sure that his new owners know how much he loves treats and squeaky toys!

Ashley - aged 4 ½ years

Where is my sock Ashley?

** adoption pending **

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.
