Greyhounds for Adoption

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.

Our Grey of the Month

Steve - aged 5​

Birthday Present Sponsorship for Sara Riva
by Barbara Branconi & Monica Effendy
GSN can't understand why such a friendly, outgoing dog like Steve hasn't found a home?

So if you wish to meet Steve before the end of May, we will discount his adoption fee down to $150, as we are sure you will fall for his charms!

Are you looking for a tall, handsome, slightly grey, man in your life. Someone who will keep you laughing, love you with all of his heart, will enjoy "short" walks, is more than happy to lay on the couch with you and watch a movie, (as long as you keep patting him). If you answered yes to any of the above, Steve may be the man for you.
 
This beautiful funny greyhound has finished his life on the track, and has been living indoors with his trainer for the last few months so is ready to slip straight into your home. Steve is currently in foster care with another Greyhound and a Bull Terrier and is coping very well.  He has met dogs along his journey and is fine with them.
 
Steve walks well on the lead and travels very well in the car. He has been left inside with no troubles, and lets you know when he needs to go outside when you're home.
Steve just LOVES water, so he will enjoy a shell pool, as Steve will sleep in the water all day. He just loves it.  A true water baby! He would cope in a full-time working home.
If you think Steve may fill a giant hole in your heart, contact GSN for a meet-N-greet.

Steve has the eye condition, pannus and requires drops every day, which are really easy to administer.

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.

Amy - aged nearly 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 ready for adoption now.

Morgan - aged 7

Birthday Present Sponsorship for Sara Riva
by Mark Petlock
 Morgan is very affectionate and loves attention. He is toilet trained and walks very well in the lead. He is currently in foster with a Labrador and they get along really well and enjoy playing together. However, Morgan is wary of dogs he doesn't know. He really loves his food, but doesn’t like his Labrador mate to check out his empty food bowl.

His favourite activity is to follow us everywhere around the house. Morgan has the cute habit of of picking up pillows, blankets or any clothes he finds and dragging them around the house (sometimes even all the way into the back yard).

Even though he doesn’t live with kids, being so calm and patient he could be great for a family with kids.

Howie - aged nearly 7
Howie is the sweetest boy, he was a little timid when we first brought him home, but has started to come out of his shell now and greets us every excitedly in the mornings and when we get home from work.
 
He walks very well on the lead, never pulls and will even jog with you, we've got him up to about 20 mins slow jog. He is fairly energetic for a greyhound, but in between walks he is a classic greyhound and will happily sleep away the day on his bed or ours!

He is very affectionate and loves pats and his chattering teeth when he is being petted are just the most adorable thing. He does shadow us around the house to see what we are doing. But when we leave for work though he seems absolutely fine by himself, no accidents or damage. He has been collecting random items from around the house and storing them in his bed, no damage just collecting. He is fine with people, he is still getting used to other dogs and is keen to sniff and say hi.
 
He travelled well in the car with us and sat and relaxed for most of the journey. He copes on busy streets and general traffic noise doesn't bother him, except for sudden loud noises. Having a doggie friend would be good for him but not essential, he seems quite comfortable by himself and is going to make a lovely pet.
Howie will be available for adoption end May.

Anya - aged 7 years young!

Birthday Present Sponsorship for Sara Riva
by Sebastien Leveque
A Sweet and Loving Lady
Looking at her you wouldn't realize she is 7 years old, and she is definitely young at heart!  Just wait till you see her doing zoomies in the backyard, and tossing her toys through the air and running to catch them!!
 
She's a gentle girl who's coming out of her shell more and more.   She's toilet trained, very well mannered with her food, and loves her special treats.  Anya is great on the lead, walks well, and is not bothered by other dogs barking through the fence.  She set's a good pace on our way out, but it gets a lot slower the closer we get to home!  :-)  She's an excellent car companion, she's in the car and lays down ready for adventure within seconds. 
In new settings, such as coffee shops / dog club, Anya can be a little unsettled although she is getting better with every visit.
 
Anya is lovely with people, and likes to introduce herself to anyone who would like to pat her and is more than happy to have a lean on you within seconds of meeting.  Anya takes her time to warm up with other dogs in social settings but is getting better and better each week at dog club.  This girl is a quick learner and an absolute pleasure to have around.  If Anya chooses you for her human, you'll be loved, and in love in no time!
Anya will be available for adoption early-June

Luna - aged 3½
Lovely Gentle Luna
Luna is the sweetest of souls. She is an absolute dream. From the first day, Luna settled in very well. She walks beautifully on lead, jumps in the car by herself and loves to be with people. 
 
She can be a little bit shy at first when meeting new people and dogs, so slow respectful introductions are preferred. After a few seconds of getting to know them she just goes about her business. She is currently living with a staffy and has met some little fluffies out and about and in the home. She can get a little bit frightened if a dog barks at her or loud noises out and about, but with lots of positive encouragement and pats she soon calms. 
 
Luna loves her toys and has recently decided that she is a bit of a collector. She loves her food and eats very well and loves nothing more than to cuddle up on the couch or her bed.  Luna is a delightful darling with beautiful big brown eyes, who will make a lovely companion.
Luna will be available for adoption early-June.

Cody - aged 4
Delightful Cody!
"My foster mum says that if all the other greyhounds were like me, then fostering would be such a breeze. My litter sister Emma, was adopted last month so I figured I’d just do everything right from day one!

So just letting you know that I am toilet-trained and will stand patiently by the door until you spot my need. I can jump in the car and then lie down quietly, while we head off on an adventure and I’m also happy to snooze in the car if you need to run errands. I just LUV going on my daily walks and I’m a confident walker and traffic noises don’t really bother me – as it’s just so good to be out sniffing around the streets. I’m very polite if we meet other dogs – small or big - I just give them a sniff, a tail wag and move on.

I’m currently living with a greyhound, but being so friendly I prefer to hang around with the humans, so whatever room you are in, I will happily snooze near you. I’ve got LOTS and LOTS of love to give – I just need necks rubs in return, ‘cos I’m a sensitive, affectionate bloke. And rather tall, striking and handsome, if I say so myself! I think I could cope as a solo dog, as long as you give me lots of walks and neck rubs".
Cody will be available for adoption mid-June.

Bella - aged 3
Bella is a lovely sweet dark brindle. She’s a bashful girl, who slowly, slowly reveals a little bit more of herself each day. She has excellent manners at home, in the car, and while out on her walks.

She is very good with other dogs and calmly introduces herself to the other dogs at dog club.  Her playful side is starting to shine through as she tries to engage her greyhound foster sister in zoomies. Bella is a work in progress.  She’s a timid girl who takes time to trust her humans.  When she’s on the lead she is very good, and will accept pats and will approach people.  When off lead at home, her timid side wins out, and it takes some time to win the trust of this lovely girl. With time, lots of love, patience, and her favourite treats, bashful Bella will return your love 100 times over.
Bella needs to gain more confidence and is not yet available for adoption.

​Lady – aged 3½                          Foster with Intent to Adopt

Birthday Present Sponsorship for Sara Riva
by Françoise Harbord
Lady looked a bit scruffy when these pics were taken and she first went into foster - but now she is looking great.
She is one of those sweet little greys that trusts and loves everyone, and her tail never stops wagging. But she still needs a little more of her confidence building and will require a quiet home, as raised voices frighten her.

Lady has the eye condition, pannus and requires drops every day, which are really easy to administer.

Maggie - aged 2                         Adoption pending                 

Sponsored by Melinda & Nigel
This is the lovely Miss Maggie, who has just celebrated her second birthday. She is definitely a bit of sweetheart and so pretty with her lovely white ruff and chest. She is very low maintenance, loves walks and pats and is a little bit too polite when it comes to dinner time. Her affection grows stronger everyday so her foster carer finds it pretty awesome to have her as his companion. She is one cool customer. 😊👍
 
She hasn't had a single toileting accident. She's fine on lead. Miss Maggie may be best in a home with a doggie companion if you are a full-time worker.
She will certainly make a loving pet for in her adopted home.

Red - aged 3                               Adoption pending

Birthday Present Sponsorship for Jessica O'Keefe
from the team at SOS Recruitment
Red is such a beautiful boy, both inside and out.  Within the first hours of arriving home he found the couch, despite having his own bed in a quiet corner of the lounge.  He has quickly settled in to family life – he loves eating, sleeping on the couch, and going for walks (he is AMAZING on the lead) or outings in the car (he travels very well in the car) – he’s also toilet trained and is learning to use our doggy door.
As Red is a human-focused dog, loving cuddles and affection, we think he could be happy being a solo dog.  However, he also gets along very well with his staffy foster-sister and is happy to share his personal space with her (ie when she squishes on the couch with him or tries to play with him).
Red seems good with kids he meets on the street.

We feel there is still a lot more of Red’s personality to come out – we definitely know that while he’s at home he’s super chilled out, happy to relax on the couch all day whilst you’re at work.  We’ve also seen snippets of a goofier character …. like when his lazy tongue just won’t stay in his mouth, when he dances on the spot when foster grandma comes to visit, or when he prances in the park when he’s really happy to be out on his walk!

Suzie - aged 3½                          Adoption pending

Birthday Present Sponsorship for Jo Thompson
from Georgia
Suzie is a very gentle, friendly and chilled girl. She is house trained and can be left inside without being destructive or becoming anxious, though she is always so excited and happy when you get home! That’s when she’s her most affectionate and playful because generally she doesn’t seek attention and is just happy to be around her people chilling out. She absolutely loves playing fetch and bringing the ball back to you. A 30-40 minute walk is enough for her, though she definitely wouldn’t disapprove of longer.
 
If she’s being naughty, you only need to tell her once and she’ll stop and be super sorry! She is amazing around all adults she’s met so far, and would be fine around older children/teenagers, as she would love a friend to keep throwing her a toy around for  her!
 
Her foster mom works in a doggy daycare where she has helped socialise her with other dogs. Suzie is better around larger, confident and non-confrontational dogs. On walks she is easy and generally just sniffs, says hello and moves on. She is very good on walks and doesn’t pull, however when she sees a ball flying by or a small dog running around she is still learning that she can't join in. She would be best suited to a home that has a backyard where she can run free and throw her toys around. She’s a good traveller in the car. Suzie will make such a beautiful addition to someone’s family.

Sammy - aged 4                         Adoption pending

Birthday Present Sponsorship for Sara Riva
by Chris Bridgland & Ben Wan
Sammy is a gentle giant, loves a cuddle and is a couch hog but just wants you next to him and use your lap as a pillow.
He is still a bit unsure on some things but is a great learner. He loves the car too!

Sammy would ideally like a doggie companion if you are a full-time worker and we think he would prefer a female dog.

Bradley - aged 5                         Adoption pending

Sponsored by Joe in memory of Jazz
Enthusiastic Lovable Goofball!
Bradley has the handsome looks of Brad Pitt, coupled with a great sense of Adventure! He's an enthusiatic boy who wants to go where ever you would like to take him, or if you are at home he will be found right by your side.

This goofy boy is just seeking a home to give him all the love he deserves. And he will reward you four-fold!
His favourite past-time is lying up-side-down in a "roach" position - he has 101 positions to keep you amused! And he wags his tail every time you walk near him - so you have to lean down and give him a pat as you pass by. He's such a big happy clown whose antics will certainly keep you entertained.

He's learned all the pet rules, and was toilet-trained from day one. He loves any adventure and can jump in the car and travels well. He walks nicely on lead, and is only strong if something really excites him, but he is improving all the time.

Poppy - aged 3                           Adoption pending

Birthday Present Sponsorship
for Lily from Zeb
Poppy came to our home a friendly but timid girl. Although the laundry basket, stairs and broom caused her to seem frightened at first, she now no longer seems worried about them at all. She bounds up stairs and watches as household duties are performed without change to her demeanor. She has come a long way in a short time and I think this is a testimony to her adaptability and temperament.  

Poppy is a trusting dog who is just a sweetheart! She has made friends with our elderly neighbour and they chat over the fence. Her quite and affectionate nature has meant that our 12yo son has taken Poppy over to spend time with our elderly neighbour and the three of them have enjoyed sitting on the couch and watching TV.

Poppy has a cheeky side and will at times collect items that interest her from around the house. She hordes these in her beanbag. Often items belonging to my sons are placed there if they are out. Maybe she is missing them! Poppy gets along well with other dogs and really enjoyed the GSN Play Date day. She also is friendly to smaller dogs. Poppy doesn’t eat a lot and likes to graze through out the day.
Poppy will make such a lovely family member!

Bubblegum -aged 3                   Adoption pending

Sponsored by Melinda & Nigel
Bubblegum is highly affectionate girl, who actively seeks human and canine attention with a smile, a wagging tail and kisses. She is sleek, pretty and engaging. She is a delightful dog, sociable and happy. She likes to sit with you and will climb up behind you for a cuddle.
Bubblegum would benefit from an active household as she has plenty of energy and is interested in absolutely everything. She tends to ‘relocate’ items, such as clothing, not damaging anything, but it seems she needs to satisfy her curiosity.
A very clever girl who mastered the dog door on the first night here. (Other dogs have taken up to a week and one never worked it out). She would respond well to training and can be easily encouraged with treats. She tends to pull a bit on the lead at the start of the walk, then settles quickly.

Nothing fazes Bubblegum and she reacts to new experiences including noisy household appliances, with interest and curiosity. During the last storm, which woke her up, she got up to seek the cause of the noise. Not a cringe to be seen! She enjoyed her recent hydro bath and tolerated the blow dryer with good humour according to the professional groomer.
She settles well at night after a trip outside and travels well in the car - lying down calmly.

Gigi - aged 5                               Adoption pending

Sponsorship by Melinda & Andrew,
for GSN greyhound Arnold
Gigi was very lucky to be taken in by GSN and is now settling in well to pet life. She is learning to walk calmly on the lead. Is affectionate and cuddly and finds comfort being around other dogs.

She’s house trained and has learned the house rules quickly. Still shy and nervous at times but getting braver every day. A quirky, playful girl who loves her food and toys.
We feel she will be best in a home with another dog as a companion to provide comfort and bring her out of herself more.

Mack - aged 7                            Adoption pending

Sponsorship Gift for Antoinette Ciconte
from Pamela Gaffney 
Mack is a gentle giant with a lot of love and affection to give. When he’s not hard at work being your shadow you’ll find him roaching on the entirety of the couch waiting patiently for his next trot around the neighbourhood. He shares our home with a high energy 7yo terrier cross who has brought out the playful side of Mack this past week. They’ve also been found sharing the couch after a big walk, nuzzling into warm spots. 
He’s still getting used to the trains passing on our walks, and is a bit overwhelmed by staircases of more than 5 steps, but he’s a very lovely lead walker and generally enthusiastic about new experiences. 
 
His sense of humour is really coming out, with cheeky looks and licks, and lots of chats in the morning to wake you up. He seems to love routine and will wake me up for his morning walk nice and early even on the weekend, and his energy seems abuzz right at dinner time.  He would ideally love a big backyard or enclosed space to do his zoomies, and to have plenty of places to sniff out. 
 
Being the people pleaser he is already responding to some training and rules around the house. He’s a really beautiful boy, who cuddles into my side when he’s tired.
Mack will be available for adoption early-May.
