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. 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.

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:
- Take the time to understand what our dogs need, so will only suggest appropriate dogs for your circumstances - that also means we will discourage you if you want a dog that we know you are not a great match for
- 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
