GSN has been established for over 18 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.

Special Thanks to Greyt Sponsors

🐾 Greyhound and Co Knoxfield is a friendly, inclusive walking group, who do a walk around Lakewood Nature Reserve each Sunday morning. With donated goods from RRRUFF! they fund-raised so much money, we didn’t have enough dogs to put their name on as sponsors.
🐾 Antoinette Ciconte has a deep love of animals and fell in love with greyhounds after meeting so many on a dog walk; she wants to see a home for every single greyhound bred and sponsors more dogs than can currently be rehomed by GSN. |

Campbell - aged 5 years
|
A Heart as Big as His SizeMeet this beautiful and gentle boy. He has a kind and loving nature. While he may lack a bit of confidence, he responds well to gentle handling and soft voices, helping him feel more at ease. He walks beautifully on a leash and shows no reactivity towards other dogs. He eagerly takes in all the sights and sounds, thoroughly enjoying his outings.
Adding to his sweet personality, he is toilet trained and sleeps quietly through the night. This boy would thrive in a home where someone is around often. He happily chooses to rest either in his foster carer's room or in the lounge room. Currently, he is thoroughly enjoying the company of another greyhound, so if you already have a dog, he will appreciate the companionship. He tends to lie down in the car during travel, occasionally getting up to have a look around, so car rides are not an issue. While he hasn't been tested with cats or small pets, due to his size (34kg), he might be better suited for singles, couples, or families with school-aged children. If you're looking for a sweet and affectionate companion, this gentle boy is ready to bring love and joy to your home. Campbell is not cat or pocket pet tolerant.

Juno You Love Me
Juno is a cheerful and well-mannered lady looking for a loving home. She's fully house-trained and behaves beautifully indoors. Playful and a bit more vocal than typical greyhounds, Juno loves zoomies and chasing the ball!
Juno has lived peacefully with other dogs in the past and prefers to keep things friendly at a distance during walks. While she may not cuddle every dog she meets, she's respectful and happy to coexist peacefully. A true people lover, Juno is a good match for someone who enjoys a cozy home life.

Dora - aged 3 years
|
A Sweet SoulDora is incredibly pretty and has a very sweet, quiet and gentle nature to go with her gorgeous looks. She walks beautifully on lead (absolutely LOVES her walks), is non-reactive towards other dogs and is currently thoroughly enjoying the company of her foster brother Campbell (please see Campbell’s adoption profile).
Dora needs a family where someone is home a lot or can take her with them as much as possible when they go out. She would also definitely do well with a canine companion. Dora has free range of her foster home, being inside or outside as she pleases. She sleeps inside at night, under her blanket, next to her foster bro, in her foster carer’s room. She is completely toilet trained, loves her toys and is not destructive (she can be quite playful) and has learned to enjoy the car. With all Dora’s plusses, we believe she has had a rough start in life, with some aversive experiences around food, so that trauma makes her reluctant to approach her food bowl or eat. She is slowly improving but needs someone who is prepared to be patient with her and tempt her with a variety of foods. Home cooks who are underappreciated by their family may find Dora just the taste-tester to challenge their creativity! However, Dora’s issues around food have to be tackled quietly and with patience and she can’t be rushed or her feeding taken for granted (which only upsets her psyche and her stomach further). Because she is underweight, 3 meals a day currently work best for her and her foster carer (who has tried and tested a number of methods) is fully committed to mentoring anyone who is prepared to invest in Dora’s future. All Dora’s veterinary examinations and tests have given her the all-clear, so she has trauma rather than physical issues for which she needs sensitive care. Are you the kind person who can give Dora that care? Dora is not cat or pocket pet tolerant. D.O.B: 02/01/2021 M/C: 956000013073762 |
Cindy - aged almost 2 years

A Bundle of Love🥰 and Appetite 🥩🍖Cindy is a sweet girl who loves being around people. Inside the house, Cindy is well-behaved and sometimes likes to collect things like toys or socks and tuck them into her bed. Don’t worry, though! she doesn’t chew or destroy them! She’s a quick learner too and has already mastered going up and down stairs like a pro. Cindy has a good appetite and enjoys her meals, making her easy to feed and train.
On walks, Cindy is quite chill. She doesn’t pull much and prefers to explore at her own pace, sniffing all the exciting smells around her. She gets along well with medium to large dogs and is still learning that overexcited dogs aren’t so scary. She'd love a couple of walks each day to stay happy and healthy. Cindy is also great in the car. She’s learning how to jump into the back of a large SUV, and once settled, she relaxes and enjoys the ride. Whether it’s a trip to the park or just a short drive, Cindy is happy to come along. Cindy would make a good match to a caring home with mid-school aged children. She’d do well as a solo dog or with a calm, relaxed dog companion to share her home. Cindy is ready to bring joy, companionship, and plenty of love into your life. Could Cindy be the perfect match for you? D.O.B.: 06/01/2023 M/C: 956000014808718 |
Sarah - aged almost 2 years

Your Friend for Cuddles and Snuggles 🥰Sarah is a sweet and gentle little girl who has settled into home life beautifully. Sarah has adjusted well to living indoors and knows how to keep herself busy when her foster mum is at work. She enjoys playing with her toys and is happy to spend time on her own.
Sarah loves cuddles and snuggles with people. She is a great walker, strolling calmly by your side, and has no trouble meeting people or other dogs while out and about. Inside the house, Sarah is toilet trained and sleeps peacefully through the night. She has also mastered car rides and enjoys going on trips. While she’s still learning how to hop in and out of the car, she’s always excited to come along for the adventure. Sarah would do well either as a solo dog or with a canine companion. She also copes well living with children and wouldn’t mind sharing their toys. Her loving nature makes her a good fit for many types of families. If you’re looking for a sweet, cuddly, and well-behaved companion, Sarah might be the one for you. Sarah is not cat or pocket pet tolerant. D.0.B: 18/03/2023 M/C: 956000015945887 |
Albi - aged 7 years
|
Ready to love you!Meet Albi, a mild-mannered greyhound who loves his favourite bed and spending time with his humans. Rescued in 2020, Albi has fully adapted to life as a pet. He has mastered many house training skills, such as walking on a lead, using stairs, toilet training, car rides, and even some tricks like 'lie down' and 'dance'. Albi adores cuddles and has not shown any common challenges like sleep startle or resource guarding. He would be best suited to companions who spend a lot of time at home or are looking for a buddy to run errands with. Albi has grown up around other dogs but can be a bit wary when first meeting them or on walks. Albi is experienced with children of all sizes and has lived with a smaller whippet, even as a puppy. If you’re looking for a gentle and loving companion, Albi is ready to bring joy and warmth into your home. Albi is not cat or pocket pet tolerant. D.O.B: 30/07/2017 M/C: 956000005428059 |
