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,
We take in 'ordinary' greyhounds, as well as older, shy or more humble greyhounds.
More information about the Adoption process can be found here.
Please note: unless noted as cat-friendly, most greyhounds will not be considered safe around cats.
Please also note that 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 are proud that 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:

• Will match the appropriate dog for your circumstance
• 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
  
  

Greyhounds for Adoption

Pet Exchange Register Source Number: RE100952

We don't adopt greyhounds by colour
Most greyhounds bred are black, and therefore there are very few other colours available for adoption. If you want a greyhound that is a specific colour (that is not black) we may not be able to help you because we match our dogs to applicants based on the personality of the individual dog and whether the applicant meets the dog's needs, not on the dog's colour.

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.

           Cairn -  3 years old                                        

                     Socialite

​ Cairn is a very sweet dog and very sociable in many different situations. There is no problem taking him for walks or leaving him alone outside of shops.
He has never shown any aggressive tendencies, if anything he is very playful and loves playing catch or chewing on fluffy dog toys.
He does, however, tend to chase after cats or whatever other animal that will play chase with him.
 Cairn seems to do well on his own but is much  happier around other dogs and his best friend is also a  greyhound.
How can you resist Cairn with that big smile and beautiful eyes!

            Sally - 4 years old                               Heart of Gold

Gorgeous Sally (racename Matilda Mikado) is looking for her forever home after an active – but not overwhelmingly successful – racing career. Sure she won over $10,000 but she did have 84 starts to achieve those winnings.
Poor Sally, she tried her very best, and was so willing to please, but in the racing world, it wasn’t good enough.
Sally is now uncertain about what the future might hold for her and needs support and patience in her transition from racer to pet, but all the right signs are there – she loves people (while initially being wary of them), she softly approaches for affection, and leans in when it is given. How can you not love a girl like that?
​Sally is fine with other greyhounds but prefers human companionship. She’ll stand in the back yard for ages just scenting the breeze, so no apartments for her even though she seems quiet enough. If you are the patient sort who wants an irresistible greyhound who only wants to bond with you – but needs time to do so -  please put in an application for gorgeous Sally.

               Grace - 2yrs old                                 

​A Greyhounds Companion

Grace is an anxious dog at first but once she gets to know you she will really warm to you.
Grace will need some time to be comfortable with having a human touch and will take some time to come by commands.
Once she is comfortable with her surroundings Grace will really show her true self running around in the backyard doing zoomies and playing with her toys.
She loves getting pats and ear rubs all the time.
Grace interacts well with other greyhounds and loves lounging around chewing on pigs ears and dog treats with them.

           Angela - 15 months                    Young and Playful

Angela is a 15 month old shy girl, and still very much a puppy. Although she appears shy when you first meet her, she soon lets you know what she wants, usually a walk or someone or something to play with.  She is a small black female, and will most likely remain a small greyhound.  She walks well on the lead, and quite inquisitive when she goes for a walk.  She is currently sharing with another female (non-dominant) greyhound and an older female staffy.  She gets on well with both and is learning how to live in a home from both. 
She would fit into most households and will make a great family pet.

         Devon - aged 3yrs                            Part of the family              

Devon is a big Goofy boy, he has a beautiful temperament and is more a follower rather than dominant. He is toilet trained and in general, has very good manners inside the house.
​
Devon is relaxed and friendly with people, especially with kids. He loves being around humans, so would suit a home where someone will be working from home on an ongoing basis, and a family that wants to include him in their daily activities.
On walks, he is good on the leash, no pulling and most of the time walking to heel. Devon doesn't mind lazing around so he is okay with a couple 30-minute walks a day. He is also good with dogs of all sizes and can get in the car unassisted, lies down and settles in minutes.
This beautiful boy is ready to go his forever home and will suit practically any family seeking for some canine love.

Devon is not cat tolerant

Darcy - aged 3 1/2
         sponsored by the Collis family

                                                         Special needs (pannus)

Darcy Racer is a gorgeous boy who is in foster care with another dog, but truly he prefers humans. When they return from being out he does great big high bounces of joy and when they take him out in the car – he just can’t get enough of that wind in the fur feeling.

He has coped with stairs in the home, but needs patience to adjust to unfamiliar stairs. He’s a confident boy on walks, not fazed by noisy traffic. He loves the vacuum cleaner (thinks it’s a game) and rearranging shoes and other items.
 
Pannus is an inflammatory eye condition that is easily treated with eye drops (which are well tolerated and easy to give). Because Darcy will need these for the rest of his life, his adoption fee is $150 instead of the usual $295.

             Onyx - Aged 6

Ready made pet

Onyx is a big sweet and energetic boy that loves people, pats, and cuddles. He is so affectionate and loves being around people and other greyhounds.
While being fostered, Onyx spends most days with one other grey and has also done well with solo time at home.
He's great on walks and loves socialising around other dogs and people at parks or pubs.
Housetrained without issue. Home life has been relaxed outside of vacuum time where he'll supervise from another room. Onyx loves a car ride, enjoying the scenery between naps.
He'd do well in a semi-active home. He's a big, strong boy and loves 2+ walks a day. He's been great on a jog as well.

Given his size, energetic zoomies, and odd roo hops he is likely best with older children.

                Lexi - aged 3

Adoption Pending

Lexi is a beautiful, affectionate young girl, who is looking for her forever home. She loves spending her day with her foster carer, curled up beside her or getting belly rubs.

Lexi walks well on the lead, but is a little nervous of new situations, new people, and other dog breeds, so needs someone who will be patient and encouraging with her when out and about.  She can get into and out of the car, navigate stairs without a problem, and is well behaved in the home.

A strong girl full of muscle, Lexi loves having a good old romp and long walks. She is also a real water babe, and loves spending time in her little pool.

Lexi would not be suitable for a home where she is left alone, so needs a large canine companion if she is to be left during the day, and will welcome you home with great ceremony.

Lexi is looking for a home where she can be part of the family, suitable for teenagers but not young children. She will repay you a thousandfold with her love if you think yours is the right home for her.

           Ringo - aged 2 1/2

Adoption Pending

Ringo is an affectionate young boy who loves receiving pats and cuddles.

He settled into foster care easily, and is friendly to all he meets. Ringo enjoys his walks, waiting patiently to have his leash attached, and walks really well on the leash. He is happy to meet any other dogs he meets along the way, and is not fazed by traffic.

A curious greyhound, Ringo spends a lot of time exploring and sniffing everything he comes across.  Easily housetrained, he quickly learnt to use the doggy door, and takes himself outside to toilet whenever needed. Around the house, he loves to follow his humans or other fur friends around. He is very interested in the vacuum cleaner, and with a little bit of encouragement he could probably take over this chore for you, as he is very intelligent.

His foster carers say he has a really beautiful temperament, and will make a beautiful companion to any family, although small children will not be suitable due to his size and activity. Ringo will need a home where there is someone home most of the time, or with another greyhound for company.

Ringo is not cat tolerant.

       Dottie - aged almost 2

Adoption Pending

Dottie is on a mission (actually two) in life.

First, to find the love of her life. She knows her foster carers are very fond of her and she is accordingly very fond of them, snuggling into them at any opportunity and trying to look into their souls. But deep in her heart she believes the love of her life is out there and she is reserving her best love for them.

The second mission? To keep moving any time a camera or phone is pointed at her! Her foster carers can’t count the number of blurry photos they have of her, or of the back of her head (just turned away at the last second), or of her rear end as she turns tail.

So her physical description? She is a finely built but tall girl, supermodel thin (eats well, just needs to eat more), a gorgeous black with white trimmings, the gloss of the black currently submerged in a bit of kennel coat. The white goes from around her nose, right down her throat and chest – she looks like she’s got a permanent milk moustache!

She loves a quick (very quick) zoomie in the back yard and is getting used to playing with her more confident foster brother and sisters, but is otherwise quiet and calm. Friendly, alert, playful, Dottie is a real delight. Her foster home has stairs but she hasn’t been willing to tackle them yet. Being very young Dottie, is uncertain about pet-life so will need time and patience to settle into the security of a forever home, but if you might be the love of her life, she’s very eager to meet you.

Being young and insecure, Dottie will need lots of company during the day, both human and canine, so would not be suitable for a home where she would be left alone.

                Dot - aged 3

Adoption Pending

Dot is a sweet three year old girl with lots of love to give you, and she is looking for a best friend.

She loves company, walks and playing with her soft toys.  Being young, she is often in the zoomie zone, so wouldn't be suitable for a family with young children, but older children would be fine.

Dot gets a bit sad when left alone, so would suit someone who is home a lot of the time. She is always excited to welcome you home, and will follow you around the house during the day.  She loves pats and attention, and sometimes jumps up when excited.

Dot is very mobile, and can easily manage stairs. She is easy to walk, rarely pulling on the lead, but can sometimes be a little timid if there is a lot going on around her.

She is a beautiful girl who will make someone very happy.

Dot is not cat tolerant.

      Smidge - aged almost 3

Adoption Pending

Smidge is a beautiful young girl who is looking for a family to spend her life with.

Being young, Smidge has lots of "energy bursts", believing she is still a puppy. She is toilet trained, doesn't bark, and happy to spend her outdoor time lounging on the outdoor furniture.

Smidge enjoys her walks, and has had some play dates with doggy friends which she really enjoys. An affectionate girl, she gives the best cuddles, and will greet you with such happiness when you come home.

Due to her zest for zoomies, Smidge would not be suitable for young children, but would suit a family with older children.
