GSN has been established for over 20 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.

Tommy - aged 4 years
|
A Playful PalTommy is a fun-loving boy who will bring plenty of playfulness and joy into any loving home. Inside the house, he’s still learning the ropes and has a puppy-like curiosity. He enjoys spending time with people and would be a great match for a family with school-aged children who can join in the fun.
On walks, Tommy’s curiosity about life shines through. While he’s still learning to walk calmly on the lead, he’s eager and fascinated by the world around him. He's friendly with other dogs and loves to rush and say hello. Tommy also travels well in the car. He has learned how to jump on the back of large SUVs and once inside he settles and enjoys the ride. Tommy would thrive in a home where his playful nature is embraced and he has plenty of opportunities to learn and explore. He’d do well in a home with a canine companion who matches his energy and enthusiasm, but he’s also happy as a solo boy. If you’re looking for a playful and loyal companion, Tommy is the perfect fit. He’s ready to find a loving home where he can continue his journey from kennel to couch! Tommy is not cat or pocket pet tolerant. D.O.B.: 07/04/2022 M/C: 956000014569938 |
Vinnie - aged 9 yearsKindly sponsored by:
Guardian Angel Suvi in loving memory of Dinky Lokuge ❤️ 
|
An Easygoing PalVinnie is a quiet, gentle soul with a calm nature that makes him a lovely companion to have around the home. He’s an easy boy to live with, content to rest nearby, taking everything in with peaceful curiosity. Toilet‑trained and well‑mannered, Vinnie fits neatly into daily life without fuss or noise.
When it’s time for a walk, he moves nicely on the lead, matching your pace and showing good manners along the way. He’s not one to pull or rush, instead taking time to enjoy the sights and sounds around him. Vinnie can be reactive to small dogs, as he has a strong prey drive, so he’ll need an owner who can manage that calmly and confidently. For this reason, he would do best in a home without small animals. At mealtimes, Vinnie is very easygoing and eats well. His favourite moments are often the simple ones, playing with a squeaky toy or curling up for a afternoon nap. Vinnie is a low‑energy boy who prefers relaxed days and gentle company. He enjoys being around people, showing his affection through quiet presence rather than constant attention. Whether he’s lying at your feet or snoozing on his bed, he’s happy just being near you. This calm, kind boy will suit a peaceful home with patient owners who enjoy a slow, steady pace of life. Vinnie may not ask for much, but he gives plenty in return, trust, loyalty, and the quiet warmth of a true friend. Vinnie is not cat or pocket pet tolerant. DOB: 12/07/2017 M/C: 956000005708828 |
Astrid - aged almost 7 yearsKindly sponsored by:
Guardian Angel - Antoinette Ciconte

A Sweet Girl Finding Her ConfidenceAt home, Astrid is easy to live with and happy in her quiet routines. She’s fully toilet trained, walks nicely on the lead, and enjoys car rides without fuss. She currently shares her days with an elderly male greyhound, and the two get along beautifully, often resting side by side. Astrid sleeps peacefully through the night, tucked under her blankets in the lounge, content in her safe little world.
While Astrid has come a long way, she can still be shy when meeting new people. She doesn’t show any aggression, just a bit of hesitation until she feels comfortable. With gentle handling and time, her confidence continues to grow. On her walks, she’s curious but cautious, sometimes startled by unfamiliar sights or sounds. Each outing, however, makes her braver and more relaxed. Astrid adores affection and quietly leans in for cuddles, resting her head against you as if to say thank you. She would do best in a calm, cat‑free home with another friendly dog or an owner who is home most of the time. For someone looking for a gentle companion to share peaceful days with, Astrid will bring warmth, quiet joy, and the soft company of a loving friend. Astrid is not cat or pocket pet tolerant.

Monty - aged 4 yearsKindly sponsored by:
Guardian Angel - Antoinette Ciconte 
|
Keeping Things InterestingMonty is a lively and curious boy who fills every day with energy and fun. At home, he enjoys being around people and has a friendly, social nature. He’s toilet trained but, like many dogs who are still learning, has had a few small accidents. When he’s had enough exercise, he settles nicely and loves a quiet nap. However, if he misses his walk, his extra energy can lead to a bit of mischief. He travels well in the car and needs a helping hand to hop in. Stairs aren’t his favourite, though he’ll manage them when encouraged.
Mealtimes are important to Monty. He loves his food and can be quite greedy, so providing him with his own feeding area helps support good behaviour at meals. Away from mealtimes, he’s affectionate and energetic. With clear boundaries and patience, this is something he can continue to improve on. Out on walks, Monty is curious and easily distracted by interesting smells, so he benefits from a confident handler to guide him. He’s comfortable around busy roads and loud noises and sometimes shows his excitement by jumping up for attention. Monty’s high energy makes him a great match for an active household that can give him daily exercise, structure, and time to unwind. With consistent routines and understanding, he will be a loyal and entertaining companion. Monty is not cat or pocket pet tolerant. DOB: 07/01/2022 M/C: 956000014853422 |
Jess - aged 5 yearsKindly sponsored by:
Guardian Angel - Antoinette Ciconte 
|
Learning to Trust, Ready To LoveJess, also known as Black Beauty, is a special girl looking for a quiet home with one or two people who will give her time to learn to trust. She needs someone who won’t be offended if she chooses to go to another room when visitors arrive. You see, Jess is frightened of people. Once she has settled, though, she’s just like any other five‑year‑old greyhound: playful, cheeky, and full of little quirks. She enjoys playing with toys, doing the occasional zoomie, collecting slippers, and even digging an odd hole now and then. She is toilet trained and loves her food (and will happily remind you when it’s mealtime!).
Jess gets along well with other dogs, except when they come attached to humans, then she prefers to hide rather than interact. There’s no aggression, just shyness. She’s a lovely walker as long as her surroundings are quiet; if people are around, she simply wants to head home. Jess isn’t the right dog if you’re looking for one to take everywhere or live in a busy city environment. She would be happiest in a calm home on the fringe or in the country, where she can enjoy peaceful walks at quiet times of the day. Jess would also do well living with another dog for company. Jess is not cat or pocket pet tolerant. DOB: 16/01/2021 M/C: 956000014489890 |
Beau - aged 4 years
|
A Curious Follower with Good AppetiteBeau is a very sweet boy who has settled beautifully into pet life. He is food motivated, making training and positive reinforcement easier. He walks well on lead, often leaning in affectionately beside you, and greets other dogs with friendly confidence regardless of their size. Busy roads and loud noises do not concern him.
After his morning walk, Beau is content to spend his day relaxing in the sunshine or snoozing on his bed. He is fully toilet trained with a simple toilet routine in the morning, after dinner and before bed, and will sleep through the night. He takes pride in communicating when he needs to go outside. Beau has some bursts of excitement when his family returns home, but responds well to gentle redirection onto his bed. He enjoys playtime with his favourite toy, Mooey the cow, and chasing balls around the yard. He expresses affection through sneaky kisses, leaning against you for pats, and resting his head on your lap. In true greyhound fashion, when is truly relaxed he will ‘cockroach’ and ask for a rub on the tummy. Beau has lived in a home as solo dog and a home with another dog, adapting well to both. He will thrive with someone able to provide morning exercise so he can settle into his day. He is currently living with full-time workers and copes well throughout the day. Beau is suitable for a wide range of homes. Whether you are a professional seeking a loyal companion, a family with older children, or a couple looking for your first dog together, Beau is eager to please and has so much love to give. Any home would be lucky to welcome sweet Beau. Beau is not cat or pocket pet tolerant. DOB: 04/05/2022 M/C: 956000014818422 |
Star - aged 2 yearsKindly sponsored by:
Guardian Angel - Suvi Lokuge in loving memory of Max 
|
From Timid Beginnings to Loving CuddlesStar is a sweet young girl who is just beginning to discover the joys of being a loved pet in her foster home. She can be calm and a little timid at first, but as her confidence grows, her affectionate side starts to shine. Once she feels safe, Star becomes a lovely, cuddly companion who enjoys being close to her people.
Star loves her walks and is easy to manage on lead. She does not pull much and is happy with a couple of 30 minute walks each day. She is not reactive around other dogs, but she can feel nervous if an overexcited dog rushes up to her. In foster care, she lives with a German Shepherd and has been learning to socialise with other medium and large dogs. At home, Star is doing very well. She is toilet trained, sleeps soundly through the night, and has learned how to use the stairs. As she becomes more confident, her playful side comes out too. She is even starting to learn how much fun it can be to chase a ball. Star travels well in the car and is learning to jump into an SUV. She is also very food motivated and happily eats all her meals, which will help with her ongoing training. Star would suit a patient and kind home, ideally in a quiet suburb, that can give her time to settle, build confidence, and continue learning about pet life. Her sister Maggie (just arriving in another foster home) is also available for adoption. While they can go as solo dogs, just in case you are looking to adopt two greyhounds. Star is not cat or pocket pet tolerant. DOB: 12/07/2024 M/C: 956000016289658 |
Skye - aged 4 years
|
Goofy girl with big heartSkye is ready for a comfy couch, a loving family, and a home to call her own. This chatty brindle girl is relaxed, happiest curled up in her own space watching the world go by. But don't let that chilled-out nature fool you, she needs her daily walks, and without them she turns into a right bundle of beans! A good daily stretch of the legs keeps her settled and content.
Skye is a big-hearted food goblin who loves affection, and she's spent her retirement so far living alongside a 5-year-old, so she's well and truly proven herself to be wonderful with small humans. She'd suit a home with a canine companion to keep her company, or she could happily be an only dog in a family where someone is home often. She does best with company nearby but has not chewed anything but shoes when left for 6-7 hours. She loves her soft toys and has no interest in attempting our stairs as yet, but will master them with some time and patience. If you're after a gentle, affectionate, goofy girl who just wants her walks, her cuddles, and a soft bed to call her own, Skye could be exactly who you've been looking for. She's ready for her forever home. If you feel Skye could be yours apply for her now. Skye is not cat or pocket pet tolerant. DOB: 21/12/2021 M/C: 956000014491533 |
Millie - aged almost 7 years
|
Golden Years Beauty Seeking Home
Millie is a senior lady who was adopted five years ago. Unfortunately, circumstances changed in her previous family, and now she's looking for another opportunity to find her forever home during her golden years.
Millie is a truly cuddly character who loves her people. She's fully house trained and manages stairs and car travel with ease and no assistance needed. During her daily walks she is very relaxed and does not pull at all. As a senior, she will claim her space if an overexcited dog approaches her face. Otherwise, she's more than happy to say hello to dogs that are relaxed and respectful. She is currently living with other large dogs, so she can be welcomed into a home with dogs that match her placid energy. She's equally happy to be the only dog, enjoying one on one cuddles and companionship. Millie is a good match for a family looking for a placid dog who enjoys daily relaxed walks and quiet evenings. There's nothing quite like settling in for a movie while Millie happily rests in your lap. Millie is not cat or pocket pet tolerant. DOB: 13/11/2019 M/C: 956000012179089 |

Hey now you're a rock star!
That's right, Rocky is here to take centre stage. Could you find a place on your couch for this handsome boy?
Rocky is still a baby at only 18 months. He loves his people, he loves his fellow doggy friends and he even loves the felines he shares a house with. Rocky has quickly adapted to his busy foster home, he loves to play, running around with toys, chasing his greyhound friends in the backyard or simply entertaining himself with solo zoomies. He loves getting in on all the action, camping out in whichever room has his favourite human in it. Walks are of course an exciting activity, he particularly loves solicitating as many pats as possible from all the people he meets along the way. He is good with other friendly and polite dogs but can become a bit nervous when dogs unexpectedly enter his personal space. He sometimes finds loud noises or unfamiliar situations a bit overwhelming but with gentle encouragement or a few soothing pats he recovers quickly. We think Rocky would do best in a home with another dog, or someone who is home a lot to keep him company. As a young boy, daily walks are a must to help him expend some energy, a playful doggy friend would also be ideal for Rocky to help with his confidence and energy levels. Before arriving in foster care Rocky had a particularly bad case of Happy Tail. This has resulted in a short little stumpy tail. His tail is all healed and he has the cutest wag you've ever seen. Does your home need its very own Rock-Star? Apply for Rocky now, he is sure to keep your house full of love and happiness. DOB: 01/02/2025 M/C: 956000016727104 |

Because sharing is caring 😊Penny is an affectionate black girl who thrives on human companionship. She's loving, friendly, and genuinely enjoys being close to her people. She even sleeps peacefully in the bedroom at night, which shows just how much she attaches to her humans.
Penny walks beautifully on the lead, is friendly with children, and has a naturally sociable nature. She's currently learning to share space and attention, and she's making progress every day with the other dogs at her foster home. Penny would blossom in a home where she can receive plenty of one-on-one attention and affection. This will help her feel secure and confident. An only dog household would be ideal for her, while she is demonstrating at her foster home, she's able to adapt to other dogs that are respectful of her space to allow her to flourish as the cherished companion she truly deserves to be. Ideal home: Patient and attentive owner or owners who are ready to shower Penny with love and give her the security and focus she needs to really shine. Penny is not cat or pocket pet tolerant.

Great Things Start From SmallMilo is a beautiful, big boy who is thriving in his foster home. He is fully toilet trained, sleeps soundly through the night, and loves his toys.
Milo has lived with other greyhounds in foster care and tends to gravitate toward female dogs, though he would also be just as happy as an only dog. He is comfortable being left alone while you’re at work or out for the day, and you’ll be greeted by an eager, happy boy when you return. He can get in and out of the car on his own, although he may take a little time to settle once inside. Milo enjoys his daily walks, but he can become overexcited when he sees other dogs. He isn’t aggressive, just very keen to say hello, and may start jumping around in his enthusiasm. He is currently attending training classes to help manage this behaviour. Milo is a big, gentle, and affectionate boy who would best suit a home with high-school-aged children. With his kind nature and loving personality, he’s sure to bring warmth and joy to any home lucky enough to have him. Milo is not cat or pocket pet tolerant. DOB: 12/05/2021 M/C: 956000014521109 |
