GSN has been established for 13 years.
Our rescue and re-homing of greyhounds has been developed to ensure GSN Greyhounds make the transition to pet life and your home with as much ease as possible.

We are proud that all our GSN Greyhounds are:
 ✔ Individually assessed as small dog friendly by our Adoption Co-ordinator

At GSN we:
 ✔ Will match you with the best dog for your circumstances

 ✔ Offer ongoing support from your Greyhound's Foster Carer and our Adoption Co-ordinator
 ✔ In addition, each Greyhound comes with a collar, lead, and warm coat

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 ‘Apartment Life’ at the bottom of the Adopting a GSN greyhound page before you apply to adopt or foster a GSN greyhound.

Lily - Our Grey of the Month

Lily - aged 4

Sponsored by Lisa, Haylee and Noah Elliott

Lily is lively and curious. Not for her the sedate sedentary life of a couch potato. While she can do the long greyhound snooze, the minute something is happening she wants to know what it is, how she can be involved and is it fun?

So Lily would prefer a busy, active family, one that will do some training and other interesting things with her, and love her. She does enjoy a good snuggle and will happily rest her head on your lap for some well-earned affection, but she is also an independent girl, and thinks life is a bit of a hoot. She will roll around on her back, vocalising to tell you all how good life now is.

Lily is currently fostered with greyhounds, a whippet and a pug, and gets along well with all of them.

Lily is not cat tolerant.

Colette - aged 3

Colette is a lovely young girl who loves human affection.

She has been sharing her foster home with two (9 and 10 year old) children, and loves them, so would be suitable for a family with children over five.

Colette enjoys her 30 minute walks, and is good on the leash.  She happily greets other dogs on her walks, although sometimes gets excited with small dogs.

At home, she is very well behaved, is toilet trained, and learns the rules of the house very quickly. Colette will be a pleasure to share a home with a family, and would also be suitable for a home with a medium to large dog.
Colette is not cat tolerant.

Daisy - aged 6

From the day Daisy went into foster care she has been an absolute delight. She instantly went outside to toilet, slept well, eats well, walks well, travels well in the car, and loves everyone she meets.

She has learnt to use stairs, loves playing with toys (and cushions!), remains calm in noisy/busy areas and has shown no aggression towards other dogs. While Daisy has not been left home alone, her foster carers are working towards this.

Whoever adopts Daisy is going to be very lucky, as she is literally perfect, according to her foster carers.

Daisy is not cat tolerant.

Boss - aged 7

Adoption Pending

Boss is a very handsome black boy, who is full of happiness and affection.
He will bounce around the house, spreading love, and then curl up somewhere quiet to have a nap.
Boss walks well on the leash, quietly by your side, but is a little worried in high traffic areas, so would suit someone who lives in the suburbs rather than inner city.
Boss is currently fostered with a couple who work during the day, and is happy to wait quietly until you come home, where he will greet you with a wagging tail and lots of cuddles.
Boss is not cat tolerant.

Hope - aged 2 1/2

Hope is a lovely young girl, who is currently living with a family of five, which includes one teenager. Although she took a few weeks to settle in, she has now made herself completely at home.
Hope can be a little wary of men and strangers until she knows she can trust them, so may take a little while to warm to any adult males in the household.

She walks very well on the leash, and is friendly to all dogs she meets, no matter what size or breed.

She is a really good girl around the house, and we feel she will fit into any family, but will need a little bit of patience to build her trust in you.
Hope is not cat tolerant.

Amy - aged 8

Sponsored in Memory of Sabrina's greyhound, Steve
by greyhounds Miku and Tonto

Amy is a gorgeous girl who would suit most homes. She enjoys the company of school aged children, and loves a cuddle and belly rub (she will lie at your feet for one). She is quite active for an older girl and would love a yard to do a zoomie or two in. She loves her walks and is generally very easy to walk although at odd times she will jump with excitement at the prospect of a run.

She is great in the house and loves her food. She currently lives with other dogs so would probably suit a home where she has company in the form of another dog.
Amy is not cat tolerant.

Elsa - Aged 9

Adoption Pending

Sponsored by Dave, Bec and Shaun in memory of our beautiful boy Cooper.

Elsa has those eyes. You know, the ones that can talk you into anything? Whether it's a walk, a belly rub or even the last corner of your toast. She will have you hook, line and sinker. Those eyes also show a lot of love. She will follow you around the house and inspect everything you do. She loves to lay with her head in your lap and her favourite time of day is when it's time to walk to school pick up because she loves kids! Elsa walks well on a lead and loves to meet other dogs and people. She is friends with her smaller breed doggy housemates and pays no attention to the indoor guinea pigs she is currently living with. She can be quite timid, however she copes well with the hustle and bustle of a family home.
Elsa is mostly toilet trained with very few slip ups since being in foster.
Depsite her rough start to life, Elsa has slotted into home life incredibly well and would best suit a home with a comfy couch, a backyard and a doggy friend to teach her the ropes.
If you are looking for a dog that just "fits."
Elsa is your girl.
Elsa is not cat tolerant.

Adoption Pending

Daisy is a very pretty dark brindle girl. Very sweet and energetic. She is quite excited by life itself. Daisy enjoys her daily walks and is happy to walk each and everyday.  Daisy does enjoy company of other dogs medium to large in size.

Once the day is done, Daisy is happy to sleep through the night on her bed, with her blanket and pillow and soft toys. At times she can be cheeky/naughty being so young, but she has a lot of love to offer someone willing to put in the time and patience.
Daisy is not  cat tolerant.

Bessie - almost 10

Sponsored by Antoinette Ciconte and John Gaffney

Bessie is a wonderful older girl who is looking for a home where she will be cherished for the rest of her days. She is a quiet, unassuming girl who has had a hard life, and deserves to have the best years of her life ahead of her.

Bessie would suit an older home that is fairly quiet, so with adults or older children. She walks well on the leash, and enjoys going for a walk.
Bessie has had most of her teeth removed, so needs a fairly soft diet. She currently lives in a home as an only dog.

Bessie is available when the right home comes along.
Bessie is not cat tolerant.

Nala - aged nearly 3

Nala is a shy and timid girl who will take her sweet time to start warming up to you.
She shows affection by constantly bopping you with her nose and then running a way. Nala is calm and enjoys being around the presence of people, and will just sit and observe you doing your thing, but is also happy to wander off and play with her toys or just have a snooze. She is also fully toilet trained and will cry to let you know she wants to go out

Dee Dee - aged 5                           

If you are looking for a loveable, and at times mischievous, greyhound, then Dee Dee is the one for you.

Dee Dee is a beautiful brindle greyhound to look at, but it is her disposition that will really win you over when you meet her. She has an enquiring nature, but will just as easily curl up on the floor for hours.

She will be there to greet you, and shower you with affection whenever you come home.

Dee Dee will make some lucky person a perfect companion.
Dee Dee is not cat tolerant.

Tiga - aged 3 1/2            

Adoption Pending

Tiga is a lovely black girl, with loads of personality and will certainly keep you entertained.
Tiga loves company, so she may be best suited to a family who works part time and/or has another dog to keep her company. She also loves toys, so have plenty of them ready to play and keep her occupied when you are busy!
Pats and affection are a must for Tiga, she can't get enough love from you and always wants to know what you are up to.
Tiga really looks forward to her daily walks, and would benefit from a good 20-30 minute walk a day - she walks perfectly on leash and is calm when meeting other people and dogs along the way.
When inside, Tiga is toilet trained and responds well when directed to lay on her bed.
Currently living with two young children and a five year old greyhound, Tiga will make a wonderful member of a young family.
Tiga is not cat tolerant.

Edna - aged 4

Adoption Pending

Sponsored by the Petrel Hotel

Edna is a gentle inquisitive lady. She likes to wander around the yard, checking out the garden, nooks and crannies - she is very confident and self-contained.
She shares her foster home with a female staffy, and they get on very well together. Sometimes they play, but more often just follow each other around sniffing and chasing (unsuccessfully) the odd bird.
She likes to go for a walk - 6km is okay with her. She walks well on the leash and has a lovely gait.
Edna is very placid with young children, so would suit a family. She does have a naughty streak, sometimes picking up an item of clothing and charging through the house to "store" it in her bed, however she will return it when asked - with no damage.
Edna travels well in the car, settling quickly on the back seat.
Edna is a lovely girl who will suit most households.
Edna is not cat tolerant.

Angel - aged 8

Sponsored by Heidi Schwegler

Angel is a lovely little black girl who is looking for a home, and is ready to move in with the right person.

She has settled well into her foster home, thriving on routine.  Angel loves her mat, and will sit on in wherever you place it, she follows it from room to room.

A very polite girl, she never gets on any furniture that isn't her own. Good on her walks, she happily greets all the dogs she meets along the way.

Angel would like to be an only dog, as she prefers to have all the affection showered on her.

Angel is not cat tolerant.

Tilly - aged 10

Adoption Pending

Sponsored by Antoinette Ciconte and John Gaffney

Tilly is a very well behaved lady, who is good with other dogs and loves her daily walks absorbing the world around her.

Tilly is typical of most older greyhounds, loving cuddles and pats, but also enjoying her quiet time.

We feel Tilly would best suit a couple who would be at home a lot, so she could share her daily life with them.

M/C 956000008268740

Hetty - aged 3 1/2

Adoption Pending

If you are looking for a sweet little lady, then Hetty could be your girl. Her soft gentle nature is a perfect fir for a couple, or small family, as Hetty has a lot of love to give.
She loves to give you lots of kisses and appreciates a really good scratch behind the ears. She is toilet trained, polite and independent when you need her to be.

Hetty likes getting out of the house for a walk, and isn't too phased by other dogs or cats she sees along the way. If you are someone who enjoys finding new places to explore, Hetty will happily jump into the car and snooze the car ride away, eagerly awaiting the destination.
When you are at home, Hetty spends most of the day curled up in her bed or lounging in the sunshine outside. She would suit a person or family that spends some time at home, as she just wants to feel part of the family and enjoy her retirement.
Hetty is not cat tolerant.

Gypsy - aged 4                  

Adoption Pending

Sponsored by Lauren Jenkins

Meet Gypsy, a sweet, smart and well mannered girl.
If you're looking for devotion, then Gypsy is the one for you. She loves nothing better than to snuggle up next to you on the couch, rest her head on your lap and have a snooze.....listen to her funny groan while you rub her ears.
Gypsy loves her 20 - 30 minute daily walk and will often tire towards the end. She doesn't pull on the leash and is polite to other dogs she meets along the way. She loves her foster brother Charlie and often snuggles up to him on the couch.
Because she is very food focused, she is easy to train. Gypsy is toilet trained, get in the car unassisted, waits until told to eat her food, she knows "on your bed" and "drop" and "come here". We are also working on getting her to use the doggy door.
At home, Gypsy loves to supervise your activities, but once she's satisfied that you're doing a good job she will happiily wander off to do her own thing, whether that's having a snooze, playing with her toys, or doing mad zoomies round the yard.
Gypsy is a super smart, easily trainable and social dog. We think she would be best suited to a family (kids 5+) or a retiree - where someone is home most of the time or she has a (medium to large) doggy companion to keep her company.
Gypsy is not cat tolerant.
