GSN has been established for over 19 years
and provides a safety net for greyhounds who might not otherwise get the chance of a forever home. GSN is a charity run by volunteers, so we appreciate your patience while we are working on the business of rescuing and rehoming greyhounds.
Please note do not promise we will be able to provide a greyhound to you as we allocate greyhounds based on the best match for them, and your home may not be the right match for the greyhounds we currently have in our care.

Cats and small animals
Unless noted as cat-friendly, most greyhounds will not be considered safe around cats.
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 don't adopt greyhounds by colour
Most greyhounds bred are black, and therefore there are very few other colours available for adoption. We match our greyhounds to applicants based on the greyhound’s personality and needs, not their colour.

Females vs Males?
All greyhounds have individual personalities, but they are all lovely. However as a (grossly) generalized rule, boys tend to be a bit more affectionate and soppy than girls.

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.

Addy - aged 7 years
|
A Gentle Soul Learning to Love Again 💖Addy is a quiet and independent soul, often described as a cat in a greyhound’s body. She has her own sweet ways of showing affection since she is not overly clingy. One of her favourite moves is pressing her long, elegant legs against you for pats, or backing herself into your legs as if they’re her personal chair. She’ll even nudge you for a little love during the most unexpected moments, like bathroom breaks because doors mean nothing when you love someone.
This classic couch potato loves nothing more than snoozing on soft surfaces, whether it’s the couch, her bed, or yours. She’s equally fond of basking in the sun and relishes a calm, predictable routine. Addy also has bursts of playful energy; she adores squeaky toys, gets the occasional zoomies, and even plays fetch, and yes, she’ll bring the ball back! Walks are her favourite part of the day, and she does an adorable little hop when she knows it’s time to head out. Addy thrives in calm, predictable environments. Her ideal home would be quiet, kid-free, and without other pets, where she can be the center of attention. She’s fully toilet-trained, sleeps peacefully through the night, and travels well in the car. With patience, kindness, and the occasional treat like peanut butter toast or roast chicken, Addy will show you just how much love she has to give. She’s ready for a peaceful forever home where she can feel safe, loved, and cherished. Could you be her fresh start? DOB: 12/02/2018 M/C: 956000004058298 |
Charlie - aged almost 3 years
|
Charlie's Bright Future Starts With YouCharlie is a big, fluffy goofball with a heart full of love. He’s incredibly affectionate and loves to be around his humans. Charlie is currently learning to walk nicely on a lead and is working hard to manage his excitement when he sees other dogs during his walks. He’s friendly with his three greyhound foster siblings and is coping well in a home with full-time workers. Whether he’s left alone or with his foster siblings, Charlie remains calm and settled. He sleeps soundly through the night, has had no toileting accidents, and absolutely adores his food and snacks! Charlie is searching for his best friend(s)—someone who will shower him with affection and enjoy relaxing at home with him. He loves to lay at your feet, often using them as a headrest for extra cuddles. Watch Charlie living life as a beloved pet in our YouTube channel. If you’re looking for a loyal and loving companion, Charlie might just be the right match for you! Charlie is not cat or pocket pet tolerant. DOB: 15/11/2022 M/C: 956000014806895 |
Reba - aged 5 years
|
A Sweet and Gentle GirlReba is a lovely black greyhound with a gentle and sweet nature. She’s currently living happily in foster care with an elderly greyhound companion and is adjusting well to her new life. While she initially found the outside world a little overwhelming, regular walks around quiet streets are helping her relax and grow in confidence.
Reba is gentle on the lead and doesn’t pull, making her a pleasure to walk. She’s also non-reactive to other dogs she meets on her time exploring outside. At home, Reba’s playful side shines as she adores toys and loves tossing them in the air and chasing after them. She’s fully toilet trained and sleeps peacefully through the night on her bed in the lounge, often near her canine friend. This sweet girl travels quietly in the car, lying down calmly throughout the trip. While she still needs a little help getting in and out of the car, with time and patience, she’s likely to get the hang of it. Reba enjoys being around people and is happy to relax on her bed in the same room as you. If you work full-time, she’d love another dog to keep her company, but if you’re home often, she’ll happily soak up your presence. Reba is a loving companion who’s ready to bring joy and warmth into her forever home. Could she be the perfect match for you? Reba is not cat or pocket pet tolerant.

Jewel - aged almost 6 yearsSponsored with Love by Nina and Family, Keeping Jordi's Memory Alive
|
A Toy-Loving GemJewel is a gentle girl who has quickly made herself at home in her foster family. From the first day she walked through the door, she seemed to understand that soft beds, quiet evenings, and kind hands were now part of her life. Her foster mum works during the day, and Jewel has shown she can be trusted both on her own or in the company of another greyhound. She is toilet trained, and with a clear signal will let you know when it’s time to go outside. Nights are peaceful with Jewel; she settles in quietly and sleeps right through until morning.
One of Jewel’s simple joys is hopping into the car for a ride. With bright eyes and ears up, she takes it all in, happy just to be along for the journey. Indoors, she loves her toys, carting her treasures through the house and creating little nests of squeaky toys. Walks with Jewel are calm and straightforward. She has a steady pace on the lead and, when she crosses paths with other dogs, she might give a cheerful bark to say hello. At home, though, she saves her biggest welcome for her people. A wagging tail and eager cuddle are her way of saying, “I’m glad you’re back”. Jewel is well suited to many types of families. She could happily live with another dog, join a home with children, or enjoy being the much‑loved center of attention. She’s ready to share her easygoing nature and gentle sparkle with a family who is excited to welcome her in. Jewel is not cat or pocket pet tolerant. DOB: 03/11/2019 M/C: 956000011078559 |
Fox - aged almost 2 yearsSponsored as a special birthday present for Kris McGill 🥳
Guardian angel to so many hounds! 
|
Fox - a lover of all🎶 Dog goes woof, cat goes meow, cow goes moo… but what does the Fox say? 🎶
Well, this Fox is very vocal about saying he loves you! Fox is a cheeky character who loves everyone he meets. Everyone is Fox’s best friend — he greets dogs and humans alike with pure joy, often sneaking in a quick lick if he can manage it. Fox is not your typical sleepy greyhound — he’s a young lad with energy to burn. Toys get energetically thrown around, and zoomies will happen in circles on the spot if there’s no room to stretch out. A decent amount of space to run will be well utilised by Fox, and even after a session of zoomies, a walk is always a happy event for him. 🎶 Your fur is fawn, so beautiful — like an angel in disguise. 🎶 Fox really is an angel, as he’s very happy to live with cats, provided they let him know when they don’t want to play. A busy household to help him expend his energy would suit him perfectly. Fox lives with primary school–aged kids but would not be suitable for younger children due to his boisterous play style. Fox is happy to share his home with fellow furry family members, while also being content as your one and only. Having a doggy friend who’s up for some lively playtimes would be a bonus for Fox, though it’s not a requirement for a happy hound. Wherever Fox finds himself, he’ll love his people with all his heart — and it will be impossible not to love him back. DOB: 26/11/2023 M/C: 956000016299697 |
Nikki - aged 6 years
|
Kind and Ready to BelongNikki is a lovely lady with a gentle heart and a calm soul. She’s friendly and affectionate with everyone she meets, from people to dogs of all shapes and sizes. In her foster home, she shares life peacefully with two teenagers and a German Shepherd, showing just how adaptable she is.
Nikki has settled beautifully into home life. She’s toilet and house trained, confident on stairs, and loves her meals. She can stay home alone for up to four hours, though she prefers having company. She rides well in the car, enjoying the view once she’s settled, and is happy with a couple of 30-minute walks each day. Her calm and kind temperament make her a wonderful companion for a relaxed household. Nikki doesn’t ask for much — just some love, a comfy spot to rest, and gentle daily walks. Nikki is not cat or pocket pet tolerant. DOB: 08/09/2019 M/C: 956000011135113 |
