---

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.

Missy - 2 and a half years

Playful and Lovable Lady

Her eyes say It all. Pats and playtime are Missy’s two favourite things.
 
Missy is a gorgeous girl whose personality is beginning to shine more and more every day. She walks very well on the lead, does not pull and loves to sniff around the neighbourhood. She gets very excited around children in the neighbourhood who give her pats - she is learning not to jump up on them to encourage them to give more!  Very small children can find this a bit overwhelming, but older children usually understand that Missy is just excited to meet them.
 
Missy is still learning her name and basic commands but definitely knows when it’s mealtime. She eats well but takes her time -  so if you have another dog, you will need to separate them for feeding so she isn’t rushed.

She loves her fluffy squeaky toys and keeps two of her favourites in her bed. Missy has some sleep startle so needs a quiet space where she can sleep undisturbed.
 
Missy bonds strongly with her humans and gets anxious if left alone. She will therefore suit a home where someone is home a lot of the time or a home with another hound who will play with her and keep her occupied. Missy loves backyard zoomies and just lying in the sun.
 
Missy is looking for her forever home and would make a great addition to your family.

Missy is not cat tolerant.

Sally - aged 4 years
​kindly sponsored by Linda, Niall and Damon

Loving, lovely, lovable

You know and love greyhounds? Then you should meet Sally. Sally was a strong and determined race dog, and she is now a loving, affectionate and happy foster pet – but she has found the transition between the two worlds confusing and needs help understanding she will be loved for herself and not for what she does.
 
Like all greyhounds, Sally enjoys lots of sleep, and likes a quiet place for her bed away from the hustle and bustle of family life. But she also loves a walk, a short play and just hanging out in the back garden scenting the breeze and enjoying what it brings. House-trained from the get-go, Sally has no issues with human rules, but that doesn’t mean she has lots of confidence. Sadly, it’s her confidence that needs building up with patience and love.
 
She loves routine and affection, and gets worried with big changes – so if you have the patience to let Sally blossom with your love, please give us a call.

Athena - aged 2 years

What a Lady!

Athena is loving, friendly, and very curious and she has settled into the human world quickly and comfortably. She can still be a little bit nervous around very busy pedestrian roads but is fine walking near traffic. She has quickly adjusted to distractions but can still freeze occasionally on walks when overwhelmed, but a simple treat and a cuddle will get her going again. She walks well with another dog to follow. Most of all she loves going to the park, bush or rivers and is very quick to get in the car when we are going out. She will walk a long time in parkland.

She is patient with food and the toilet and readily adapted to living in an apartment. She is yet to figure out long flights of internal stairs but can go up and down them outside or if it is just a few steps. A lift would be necessary if you are living in an apartment above the ground floor.

Atty is calm and friendly with dogs and would love a home with other dogs or mature children. She loves all people and would suit a family who is patient in getting to know her.

She doesn’t mind being left at home for a couple of hours but she loves being around humans, so would suit a home where someone will be home a lot, including working from home on an ongoing basis and a family that wants to include her in their daily activities.

Once you meet her, you’ll fall in love!

Gorgeous Gus - aged 7 years
   kindly sponsored by Libby Collis

Ready made pet
*Adoption pending*

​Beautiful Gus is a ready made pet, having been in a loving home for 3 years. Unfortunately due to a change in family circumstances he has been returned to us to find him a new loving family. He’s been through a bit of a rough time lately so we want to find him a calm adopter who will give him lots of love and confidence, with routine and stability built in. Someone who has had greyhounds before so understands their particular quirks would be ideal for Gus.
 
Gus loves walks, food and friendly, calm people. He is a very sensitive soul so he will pick up on your mood, if you are stressed he will be stressed too. He prefers women to men and finds rough, insensitive people a challenge to deal with. He likes being called loving words, being rubbed under his chin and behind the ears, and he will lean on you for side-rubs too. He enjoys a gentle brush. He prefers to drink from the tap and hose rather than from a bowl! He likes running up and down hallways ‘surfing’ on rugs. He likes to lay in the garden on a sunny day (so no apartments please) and he is generally fine with one long walk a day. He is tall and leggy, but a very fine older gentleman who is worth every bit of love you can give him.

Lucky in love?

Lucky is polite, affectionate and easy to please. She loves her food and walks well on the lead.

Lucky is available for adoption now.

Boof - aged 7 years
​Kindly sponsored by Antionette Ciconte

Chilled out dude
*Adoption pending*

​Boof is a quick learner and has settled into foster care with ease. He has learnt there is a room he is not to go in and he stands just outside the door waiting for the invitation, which never comes.  He loves his food and can be food motivated when needed, like going outside in the cold weather for toilet time. He has lived a quiet life so far, so he can find busy suburban streets a bit intimidating. But he’s learning it’s all okay (especially with a few treats given on his walks). He has eaten everything on offer leaving a polished bowl twice daily.
 
On waking, he loves to approach for a snuggle and pat, then he waits patiently for breakfast and toileting (on which he is very accomplished).
 
He loves rides in the car and can jump into the back of a station wagon although a 4WD would be too high for him without assistance.  He walks quietly on the lead without pulling and enjoys his twice daily 15 minute walks.
​He loves being outside with his foster family quietly playing in the backyard receiving lots of attention. He appears to have no fear of loud noises and equipment like chainsaws and vacuums.
 
Boof has had several days home alone on a regular basis and he appears happy and settled. He likes his kennel and plays with his fluffy toys.
 
He has been in foster care as an only dog so we feel he would be great as an only dog. He is likely to be too strong for young children as he is a big boy who does not appear to know his size or strength.
 
Being an older gentleman, Boof has his physical limitations, including pannus (an inflammatory eye condition that is easily treated with eye drops which are well tolerated and easy to give) and a bit of arthritis (don’t we all at that age). But Beautiful Boof is blue fawn in colour, which is quite uncommon in the greyhound world and he has lovely eyelined eyes, and looks into your eyes with love. Don't you want to have that love?

Marty - aged 4 years
Kindly sponsored by Antoinette Ciconte

Sun Lover

Marty loves people and other dogs but can become quite excited around small children.
He’s great on the lead and stays close to you, has a big appetite and loves nothing better than a snooze in the sunshine. He seems fine when left for short periods of time at home alone and always lets us know when he needs to go out to the toilet.

He’s an affectionate boy who loves a snuggle under a blanket and loves meeting and greeting new people.

He will make a wonderful addition to any home.

Tracey - aged 7 
                                              

Gorgeous girl

Tracey is an absolutely gorgeous and happy girl who charms everyone she meets - she is one beautiful lady in every way. Tracey is currently living with another greyhound and small dogs, and would love a home where someone is around a lot. She is great to walk on a lead and loves to go out in the car. She eats well but is on the thin side so needs a bit more fattening up.

Tracey loves to collect shoes and washing and take them to her bed, but she just collects these items and doesn’t damage them. Tracey did have a minor fracture of her hock that healed without surgery. When tired, she may favour that leg slightly, but as a more mature lady she is as fit and able-bodied as any other greyhound her age.

Sasha - aged 5 years
Kindly sponsored by Debbie, Craig,
 Sophie and Sugar

Lets get Physical

Sasha is a lovely and active girl, she started her life as a pet being a bit shy, but little by little has been coming out of her shell. She is very playful with dogs of all sizes but sometimes gets excited. This lady is very well behaved in the house, toilet trained and loves to lay down on the couch near her human friends. She is hesitant with stairs, however, she has been practising ​going up and down 5 steps at her foster home.

Like many of us, Sasha doesn't like people getting too close (in her personal space) and may give a soft growl to let you know she is not feeling comfortable.  This makes a home with small children not the best option for her.  As she gets more used to her people, she starts to feel more comfortable.
​
Sasha is curious during her walks, she likes to explore, discover new smells and she's always alert to surrounding sounds. She pulls a little especially when dogs pass near by, but she stops, says hello and continues with no dramas. She is an active girl and will need at least a couple of walks during the day.

Sasha is not cat tolerant.

​Devon - aged 3 yrs
kindly sponsored by Antionette Ciconte

​A Follower Goofy Boy

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 who will spend most of the day at home with him, as he bonds very strongly to his humans.

Devon is not cat tolerant
