Greyhounds for Adoption

Pet Exchange Register Source Number: RE100952
Females vs Males?
While all our dogs have very individual personalities, we find our male greyhounds are as sweet, affectionate and loyal as our females.
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.

Hanna - aged just 10
Hanna is a delightful girl who really doesn't know her own age.  She is loving life as a pet, enjoying her walks, playing with toys, and eating.

In between she is happy to nap, but is always ready for more fun.

Hanna is housetrained, sleeps through the night, and is an absolute delight.

She is currently in foster care with smalls dogs and another greyhound, but is not cat tolerant.

If you are looking for a wonderful companion, but can't commit to the next decade, then Hanna could be the perfect answer.

Hanna is not cat tolerant.

Jess - aged 5

Jess is described by her foster carer as an absolute sweetheart.

She adapts well to new situations, and is very affectionate and friendly. A calm and generally brave girl - she can be frightened by a loud noises or barking dogs when out walking - she calms down and is comforted with words of encouragement.

Jess is great with adults (both male and female) and is calm with children, although she hasn't had much exposure to them.

She walks well on the lead, responds to "stay", "come on" (when crossing the road), 'pee pee" for toiletting, and also responds quickly to "no" when it is required. Jess is good around the house, and is toilet trained.

Jess is calm around most dogs, especially larger dogs, and seems to be pretty good with small dogs provided they are not excessively yappy or overbearing towards her, in which case she lets out a warning bark. She is very scared of aggressive dogs or dogs who bark at her.

Like many greyhounds, Jess get very excited during her zoomies, and because of this we feel that she would be unsuitable to be homed with young children who may get knocked over when she is "having fun".

Jess is looking for a home where she can be active and given at least an hour of exercise a day.  And, she absolutely loves her squeaky toys.

Jess is not cat tolerant.

Blaze - Aged 7

Adoption Pending
Blaze is described by her foster carer as a dream girl, a lovely quiet companion.

A lovely soft girl, she likes strokes and attention, and is affectionate back. A collector, she loves having her "things" on her bed, and if they are off her bed, she will quietly bring them back to their right place.

Blaze is brilliant on walks, happily meeting other big dogs and puppies, but more 'alert' when she sees small feisty dogs.

Although Blaze can walk for 40 minutes with ease, and can go up and down steps, she can't get into a high car unassisted, but once in travels immaculately, even happy to lay quietly while you do your shopping.

Currently living in an apartment, Blaze is house trained and very clean. She enjoys her food, but does like to graze during the day, so probably better as a solo dog.

Blaze would make a perfect companion for anyone seeking a lovely older girl.

Blaze is not cat tolerant.

Flash - aged 7 1/2

Adoption Pending
Sponsored by Maz
In memory of Karen Leek
Flash is a lovely brindle girl who is looking for a loving home after having three litters of pups. Having never raced, Flash certainly hasn't lived up to her name, preferring to cuddle up with people than racing around.

If you are looking for a dog that will enjoy just being around you, and going for a gentle stroll, then Flash is perfect for you. But if you are after a greyhound to take on long, energetic walks, then Flash is definately not the dog for you.

Flash would suit a home either with another dog who needs company, or as a solo dog home to be a loving companion.

Flash is not cat tolerant.

Tempie - aged 6 1/2

Adoption Pending

Tempie is a beautiful, quite girl, who just loves to chill out and relax for most of the time, but does enjoy a little run around the home when the mood takes her.

Tempie is very good around the home, being perfectly toilet trained, and she really loves her food. Tempie can be a little anxious on walks, so would be best suited to living in a quiet area while she is getting used to the outside world.

A real cuddler, after a little timidity at first, Tempie is equally loving to both men and women, and is quiet around dogs both big and small.

Tempie hasn't been around small children as yet, and because she can be a little timid, we feel that she would be better in a quieter home with adults. 

Tempie is not cat tolerant

Penny - aged 9

Adoption Pending
Penny is one of our gentle older girls, and is very special.

After producing her third litter of pups, she was asked to help out with another little of pups from another greyhound who had given birth to a large litter and was unable to nurse then herself.  Penny stepped up, and nursed the two litters, totalling 22 pups, successfully.

This beautiful, calm girl is now looking for her forever home to retire to.  Penny loves to go for a walk twice a day, and is happy to curl up in her bed for the rest of the day. Penny is friendly towards all people and other dogs.

Penny deserves the best life can offer her.

Penny is not cat tolerant.

Kenny - aged almost 4

Adoption Pending
Kenny is a lovely cuddler boy that loves human company, especially children.

There have been very little surprises at his foster home, and Kenny has become almost toilet trained, letting his foster carers know when he needs to go outside.

Kenny is happy with a couple of 20 minute daily walks, walking to heel, and generally more interested in people rather than other dogs, but is friendly with dogs of all sizes.

Kenny is a little timid with steps, but is lowly learning how to use them, so he is not suitable for a home with stairs inside.

A passive boy, he will fit in with most families, and could potentially be good company for another dog with anxiety problems.

Kenny is not cat tolerant.

Jules - aged 9 - special needs

Adoption Pending
Sponsored by Maz
In memory of Karen Leek
This very sweet little girl needs someone very special to share her life with.

Jules, one of our lovely seniors, is a pretty blue girl, who unfortunately has pannus, needing to have drops put into her eyes once a day to manage it.

She is a very affectionate girl, just looking for that someone to share her life with.

After being a successful racer, Jules then went on to produce two litters of pups before coming to us to find her forever home.

She walks well on the leash, sleeps well through the night, and loves her food.

Jules will make a lovely companion to some lucky person, rewarding them with her devotion.

Jules is not cat tolerant.

Max - aged 5

Adoption Pending
Max is a tall, handsome, dark brindle boy. A real sweetheart, this boy has embraced all the new things about living in a home.

Stairs, dog door are no issue for this boy, and he settles well into his bed inside the house.

He is also very relaxed outside sleeping under a bush, which means he would love a big yard and could potentially suit someone who was looking to leave the dog outside whilst at work.

Max love a big stretch, and a good rub behind the ears. However, he is quite timid, and it will take time to build trust for him to readily come to you.

Max loves his walks, and is pretty good on the leash, being interested in meeting other dogs. He would benefit from attending dog socialisation classes in a controlled environment to help with his excitement with small dogs.

Max is currently living with another greyhound while in foster care, but would probably be fine as a solo dog as he loves playing with his squeaky toys outside.

Max is not cat tolerant

Rory - almost 5

Adoption Pending
Rory is a beautiful, calm,  blue boy who is looking for his forever home.

A very balanced dog, he is outgoing and likes meeting people on his walks, and isn't phased by anything he comes across along the way.

He is affectionate, loving his tummy rubs, and gets alone well with the two whippets he is living with in foster care.

Energy-wise, Rory is middle of the road - likes to play and can get quite excited, but providing he gets his two daily walks he is happy chilling out for the rest of the time.

Rory would suit a home where he is an only dog or would be happy to share with another dog.  Rory is not quite fully toilet trained as yet, as he has only been in foster care for a short time, but we expect this to be rectified very soon.

Rory is not cat tolerant.

Fancy has been exemplary in her foster home, being totally toilet trained, and just looking to curl up and have a cuddle.

She loves her food, and her walks, and is very good on the leash.

This affectionate older girl will fill that little empty spot in someone's heart as soon as they meet her.

Fancy is not cat tolerant.

Lena - aged 5

Sponsored by Maz
In memory of Karen Leek
Lena is a shy, sweet five year old girl.  Once she has settled and feels safe with her humans, she is affectionate, playful and kooky.

She enjoys the company of other greyhounds, and gains confidence from watching them and learning how to become part of a family from them.

Lena finds new things and people quite daunting, but if allowed to watch from a distance and do things at her own pace, she is taking each step forward one brave step at a time.

She loves to have a quiet walk with her foster siblings, loves to sniff at the park, LOVES taking toys and balls from the toy box and flipping them around.

She is good at letting her foster family know when she needs to go outside to toilet, and has had no accidents inside.

Little kids are a bit scary for Lena. She copes well when left inside while her foster family are at work and is learning to enjoy her outside time also.

Lena would like a home where she has a doggie companion and patient humans who will let her adapt at her own pace.

Lena is not cat tolerant.

Ruby - aged 6

Adoption Pending
Sponsored by Maz
In memory of Karen Leek
Ruby is a very good natured, gentle, happy and calm girl

On her first day in foster care, she went in and just made herself comfortable after exploring the home to make sure everything was to her satisfaction. A ready-made pet.

Ruby walks well on the leash, doesn't pull or get easily excited, and walks calmly past other dogs, giving a tail wag and sniff if they wish to say hello.  She travels well in the car, is house-trained, and loves her food.

A mother herself, Ruby is comfortable with young children, and will make a wonderful family pet for some lucky person.

Ruby is currently in foster care while recovering from surgery for corns, and will not be available until August.

Ruby is not cat tolerant.

Emma - Aged 4 1/2

Adoption Pending
Emma is a lovely, playful, black and white female who loves to throw her toys around playing hide and seek and chasing for fun.

She is very gentle with both her play and when moving around the house.

Emma walks very well on the leash, does not pull, and shows very little reaction to other dogs she meets along the way.

She is presently sleeping in her foster family's family room, and is happy to spend time outside during the day.

Emma would make a great companion for a family with children aged six years and over.

Emma is not cat tolerant.

Mia - aged 5

Adoption Pending
Mia is a five year old female greyhound who can be a little timid and anxious, but deep down she has the sweetest nature.

Up until now she has not seen much of this big wide world, and she needs someone she can trust and be nurtured along with the companion of another dog. Mia needs her new owner to be kind, patient and loving towards her! During Mia’s time in foster care she has started to come out of her shell, which has been lovely to see. 

Mia enjoys daily walks, where she can get out and see the world and learn from new surroundings. Mia thrives on routine and the company of another dog medium/large. She would be a perfect second addition for someone wanting a second greyhound. Mia is currently fostered with Greyhounds, Labrador and small dog.

Mia is not cat tolerant.

Bump - aged 6

Sponsored by Maz
In memory of Karen Leek
Bump is a big handsome and sweet boy with heaps of energy. He loves a cuddle and games of fetch between naps.  On walks, he spends most of the time sniffing nearly everything.  He's great on the lead for walks and jogs.

Bump, like most grays, loves being around people and wants to be included in activities or at least near you most of the time.  He's been quick to learn what space is for play and which for people; learning not to go into the kitchen even though the treats live there and doesn't take food off tables.

He's a larger boy and active.  He's been pretty content with 3+ walks a day and a quick toilet break before bed. He sleeps great through the night and will be vocal in the morning for his first walk of the day about 7am.  Bump has gotten on fantastic with his foster brother and would likely do great with another greyhound or medium/large doggo in the house.  

Bumps been great with new people. He's always keen on another person to give him some pats and attention.  Given his size and strength, he isn't suitable around small children or small dogs, especially during some energetic zoomies.

Bump would make a wonderful companion in a active home that would enjoy taking him as company for good walks or jogging.

Bump is not cat tolerant.

Rocky - aged 2 3/4

Sponsored by Maz
In memory of Karen Leek
Rocky is a big, handsome boy who is just a big couch potato who loves cuddles.

He loves his walks, and is good on the leash. Rocky is very sociable, enjoying meeting new people and lapping up the attention.

Being young, when he is not lazing on the couch he loves to play and run around, and would enjoy another big canine friend to share his love of life with.

Rocky is still a big puppy, learning the rules, and would be very amenable to some training.

Because of his large size and happy nature, Rocky would not be suitable for a home with young children.

Rocky is not cat tolerant.

Randy - aged 4 1/2
Adoption Pending
Randy is a very sweet, affectionate boy who has a placid, but sometimes playful, nature.  He loves to spend as much time with his humans as possible, and is always sure to be in the same room as them - even if he's just sleeping.

Randy is very good at following voice commands, and he knows what he is and isn't allowed to do (e.g. taking food off the bench, or going into the front yard without his humans saying it's okay).

Randy is quite good on the leash.  He enjoys long walks, and even jogs! When he is at home you can find him napping on the couch.

Randy gets along well with dogs on his walks, and he adores other big dogs.  Randy is very happy getting patted by children when he meets them on the street, although he has not lived with them in his foster home.

Randy will be the perfect match for someone who will love a sweet, goofy, boy.

Randy is not cat tolerant.
