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
 ✔ Desexed, Vaccinated, Micro Chipped, Wormed, Heartworm Tested and Health Checked

 ✔ 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.

Our Grey of the Month

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 ready for adoption now.

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.

Shorty - aged 3

Sponsored by Lyndall Edwards-Davenport
in memory of Harry
So They Call Me Shorty.
The joke is I'm not Short. Go figure!
Weighing in at 37.2kg I am just an amazing specimen. Some call me Handsome others Adorable. It's simply I'm a Stunner!
Just sayin....
So let's get down to why I'm here.
I need a forever home but not just any old home. You see despite my good looks and confident exterior I sometimes get a little anxious. Yes, hard to believe but sadly true. My Human Foster Mum and Dad are great they take me out and about all the time.  We go Walking, we go Driving, we go to Dog Club, we go to the Beach and we go out for Coffee.
With them by my side to protect me I can handle anything. I'm a polite type of Guy, so do not like rude people or dogs who get in my face before we have been properly introduced. My Foster Nanna is 91yo and I just love her. We sit and watch TV together and I know to be really gentle with her. Ssh don't tell anyone but she gives me treats and sometimes I get to finish her cup of tea. Now she tells me I'm a bit of a Pig when it comes to food. Seems I don't like to be interrupted when I am eating my dinner. Apparently I'm a work in progress when it comes to meal time. Shucks, it's just that I love my food and like to be left alone to enjoy my dinner. Nanna said I'm like a Labrador. Really? OK  I maybe a bit of a Piggy Pig but nobody's perfect, right?
So if you are looking for a loyal and loveable buddy to share your life with I'm your Guy. 
Looking forward to meeting you, maybe we could hang out and get to know each other. BTW  It would be great if you could  bring some treats with you. I just LOVE treats.

Gypsy - aged 4                  

Looking for a snuggle-bunny?
Then little Gypsy is the gal for you. All she wants in life is to snooze on the floor beside you, and if you are happy to have her on the couch, she loves to lie snuggled into you. Gypsy will be a very loyal companion, who will greet you excitedly with joyful little bounces and her tail madly wagging, when you get up each morning or when you arrive home.

This sweet little gal is toilet trained and is very settled at night, happily staying in her bed until you get up. She lies down in the car and travels well. She loves her walks and is always very excited to see the leash and head off on an adventure. She walks well on leash and does not pull. If you want to have lunch at a coffee shop, she will contentedly lie down beside you. She doesn’t need a big yard to run around as her preference is just to be wherever you are, whether that is inside or keeping you company outside while gardening. She is fine with the children she has met.

Gypsy is great with all dogs - big or small, and just gives them a gentle sniff and moves on. She will need a doggie companion in her new home, so that she has a buddy and does not get anxious when you go out or are at work. She is very easy with other dogs and gets along really well with the greyhound in her foster home, and other greyhounds who have visited.
Gypsy is just looking for a 'furr-ever' family, whom she can shower her love and snuggles on!

Missy - aged 4                 
Missy is a sweet and affectionate girl who loves nothing more then being with her humans and cuddling with them on the couch (or bed!).
 
She loves her squeaky toys, leisurely walks, and yummy treats (even raw carrot sticks!). Missy is great with kids, and adults alike. She warms up to strangers very quickly, and will lean on anyone she can, to let them know she wants a pat.

Missy is not a fussy eater, great on lead, jumps in and out of the car by herself and is settled overnight.
Missy currently spends her days with another greyhound, and they get along well, however Missy is unsure of other breeds of dogs and requires ongoing socialisation.
As Missy loves company, she would ideally love a home with a companion of similar size, and humans who are home a lot.

Molly - aged 7

Sponsored by Antoinette Ciconte
Molly is a lovely natured dog. She meets me at the door every night when I come home from work.
Loves a pat, and has been no trouble befriending the other dogs. She is very curious and keeps close observation on everything.
 
She enjoys playing with the other dogs. She’s very smart and learnt how to sit on command just after a few days.

Molly is looking for a loving family to match her great nature.

Buddy - aged 4½

Sponsored by Jo Burns in memory of Sally
Buddy by Name and Best Buddy by Nature!
This larrikin just wants to be right by your side! And he insists on always being in the same room as you – so he will make such a good Buddy. He has short bursts of playful energy – which is highly entertaining as he dances around with his toys. He loves to grab soft things and carry them around.

He is always very excited if he thinks he is going for a walk, but once out the gate he is really easy on leash. Buddy has a lovely, happy, easy-going nature and nothing bothers him. He is great with all the people and dogs he meets (big or small). He can get a little over-enthusiastic at times, so best with children over 7 years. He travels well in the car.

Buddy would enjoy the companionship of a doggie friend. But we think he might cope okay with a working couple, provided he gets a really good walk, or two short ones – but of course he would prefer you to be home so that he can be your Best Buddy.
He is such a great greyhound with 'personality plus' and has so much fun and love to give you!

Bluey - aged 2                 

Bluey is a fun loving boy with a sense of humour and a heart as big as the moon!
Cuddles in the evening, little delicate face licks in the morning, he is the very affectionate boy you've always been looking for.

He is good with other dogs and likes to play with our little Terrier when he wakes up, zooming up and down the house in anticipation for the morning walkies 
He is a fast learner, and progressing well as he is super receptive to any boundaries you put in place.
Being such an affectionate boy, he likes to be around you 24/7 however understands sometimes you have to work. 
You bet he'll be waiting with the biggest smooch in the world for you when you do return!!
Don't scroll past this joyous addition to your home!

Abbi - aged 5                  

Abbi is a happy go lucky kind of girl, she is always smiling. With her new start to life nothing has fazed her, when she arrived at her foster home her first test was a steep flight of stairs, they proved no problem, even the vacuum cleaner doesn't phase this girl.

Abbi has so much love to give, a REEEAL SMOOCHER! Listen to her subtle teeth chatters when shes excited to see you. Her idea of a perfect home is one lived on the couch, by your side, whilst she buries her nose into your arms. But don't let that fool you, Abbi loves her (short) walks and walks beautifully on the lead. She enjoys wandering around the backyard and playing zoomies with her greyhound foster brother.

For extensive laughs..watch her run around crazy in the backyard with her toys! Once or twice a day she will take herself out to the backyard and run and play by herself.
When it comes to meal time, shes not fussy at all, shes up for eating anything and has learnt to wait until told to eat her food. If she could have it her way...food would always be available.

Abbi would be best suited to a home with some canine company if left home alone for longer periods of time. Also a backyard to run circles in. She would make a great family pet (kids ages 5+), with her gentle, sweet and friendly nature all she wants is love and would never pass up the opportunity for smooches.
If it's a velcro dog you're after, here she is...waiting for you...on the couch....bring snacks.

True Blue - aged 3½                 
What a lovely young man is True Blue!
He loves a cuddle, and a good neck scratch will get his teeth chattering.  He does like to keep an eye on things so will look for me if he hasn't seen me in a while.
He's learning manners like staying out of the kitchen and not sniffing around for food during meal times.  He's a fast learner and enjoys his treats, so there will be no limit to this young man's training potential. Blue's house trained and has had no accidents inside, and sleeps through the night. He is getting used to the car and is beginning to settle more quickly.

He enjoys his walks and is well mannered when waiting for his harness and lead to be put on.  He walks well on lead, listens to instruction, and meets other dogs calmly and respectfully while out and about.  
Blue is a playful boy and plays well with dogs of his own size, and those of the smaller variety.  He also loves doing zoomies on his own chasing  his teddies as he throws them around.
Blue has been well behaved through the day with his foster sister, and appears to also be going okay now through the day on his own, so there is potential he would be happy as a solo doggo.
Blue will be available for adoption in early August.

Anya - aged 7 years young!      Adoption pending

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!
Due to spay incontinence, Anya is on daily medication and has a reduced adoption fee.

Bella - aged 3                             Adoption pending
Bella is a lovely sweet dark brindle. She’s a bashful girl, who 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. Although she can scare quite easily, and isn't particularly comfortable walking near busy roads. Despite her timid nature, she is a curious girl who on her first visit to the beach was quite happy to explore and paddle in the shallows.

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 greets me when I arrive home with a big smile as she runs towards me before turning around to show off to me with her zoomies around the yard!! 

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 accepts 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. This beautiful girl will need to go to a quieter home, with patient humans who are happy to let Bella take her own time to get comfortable. Ideally, she would be good with a doggie companion to show her the ropes, but may also cope fine solo.

Miss Molly - aged 3                   Foster with Intent to Adopt
Miss Molly is a small and slender greyhound, who is a very sweet and gentle girl.
She gets excited when you arrive home, sometimes springing up and down in excitement.
She loves a pat, and is just great with new people and fabulous with children, provided they are not too noisy. Molly is not very active and just loves to spend her days snoozing beside you.

Molly loves going in the car and would happily have you drive her around all day. She can jump in the car. She is not very active, but loves to play with other dogs in a safe environment. She has a whippet friend she really enjoys playing with.
Molly was quite timid when she first went into foster, but now she has grown in confidence and will go on longer walks provided she doesn’t get spooked by anything. So her new family will need to patiently encourage her.

Flower - aged 3                         Adoption pending
I am a three year old bundle of joy and affection! I love my daily walk, and love to curl up on my comfy bed all day. I like the company of other greyhounds or medium to large dogs, but not fussed either with my own company .

I am known for collecting my soft toys from my toy box and placing them on my bed. I walk beautifully on a lead. I am ready to be spoilt in my forever home, but I prefer not to share with small dogs or cats.
