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.

Campbell - aged 5 years
|
Calm Companion for Serene HomesMeet 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.

Addy - aged 7 years
|
A Gentle Soul Learning to Love Again 💖Addy’s description may seem more detailed than the others, but we want to provide as much information as possible to ensure we find the perfect match for her. So, here it is!
Addy’s world turned upside down when her previous family welcomed a new little one—a big life change that left this sweet 7 year old greyhound confused and overwhelmed. Surrendered through no fault of her own, she arrived in our care unsure of what came next. In her foster home, Addy is slowly rebuilding trust and confidence. She’s well-versed in home life and is enjoying the calm predictability of a quiet routine. Although she is in foster care with two other greyhounds, she much prefers her own space and would love to be your hearts sole focus. Once hand-shy, she now nudges for affection on her own terms, at the most unexpected moments (yes, even mid-bathroom break!). Addy takes a little time to warm up to new people, but with gentleness, patience and respect she will begin to unfurl and unpack, showing glimpses of her sweet, quirky self. She might not be a cuddlebug, but she does have her own unique way of showing love when you least expect it. One of her favourite moves is to back up into your legs until her entire undercarriage is perched over your knee like it’s her personal lounge chair. She’ll also visit you in the bathroom (because doors mean nothing when you love someone), and sometimes does the cutest little hops when she knows walk time is coming. Addy delights in soft, squeaky toys, gets the zoomies when the mood strikes, and has perfected the full upside down roach. |
She also plays fetch and yes, she brings the ball back. Addy is silly, gentle, and independent, but bonds deeply when given the space to feel safe. She’s otherwise thriving in a calm environment where her needs are met and understood.
But what Addy craves most is simple: a quiet, kid-free home where she can be your heart’s sole focus. She’ll repay you with quiet companionship, goofy antics, and the kind of loyalty that comes when a dog learns love is safe again.
Could you be Addy’s fresh start? Her perfect home is out there—one where she can thrive as the cherished “only child” she was always meant to be.

Tux - aged 2 years

A Gentle Cuddle-Lover Boy🥰
G’day! I’m Tux – a big-hearted, affectionate and a cuddle-loving softie with a talent for turning couches into nap zones. My calm nature makes me great with people and dogs alike, though my sturdy 36kg frame means I’d suit a home with older kids who understand gentle boys with a size like me.
You might notice I’m missing a toe, but don’t let that worry you – I’ve recovered completely, however, as I get used to my missing toe, I'm content with shorter, relaxed walks (10 minutes) and a zoom in the yard tossing my toys around, as opposed to long, brisk walks. I’m what you might call a low-energy kind of guy, The fast life is not for me. At home, I’m a good housemate – no mess, no mischief, and I’m getting cleverer with stairs each day. Mealtimes are my favourite (hint: I never say no to treats!). I thrive when someone’s around often for pats and companionship. I’d especially love a home with another easygoing dog to keep me company when you’re busy. You’ll find me polite on the leash – no pulling, just happy to amble by your side. Big cars still make me pause, but once settled, I’m a champion traveller. If you’re after a loyal, easygoing mate to share lazy afternoons and quiet affection, I’d be stoked to meet you! btw, I'm not cat or pocket pet tolerant. DOB: 11/02/2023 M/C: 956000014500017 |
Quinnie - aged 2 years

A Gentle Boy Joining to Foster CareWe’re excited to welcome Quinnie to our foster care program! While his foster family is still assessing and introducing him to pet life, the updates so far are very promising.
Quinnie is blossoming into a gentle-natured and warm-hearted boy. He’s been fantastic in the car, walking calmly on a lead, and settling beautifully inside the house. Ideally, Quinnie would love to share your couch in the living room or even snuggle up on the bed with you—he’s all about being close to his people. Stay tuned for more updates on this lovely boy soon! Quinnie is not cat or pocket pet tolerant. DOB: 09/08/2022 M/C: 9560000014812477 |
