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.

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.

Luna - Small but Mighty!Luna may be petite, but she’s bursting with confidence and charm! This happy, cheeky girl is full of energy and loves joining in on every bit of fun. She adores her humans and foster buddies and is always thrilled to meet new people and dogs.
Luna walks beautifully on the lead, though she can set off with a little too much enthusiasm at first – a head harness helps her quickly settle into a relaxed stroll. She’s toilet trained, travels well in the car, and loves snuggling into her bed after a good walk. A true foodie, Luna never says no to a treat and will happily “assist” with the washing up. She’s polite with dogs of all sizes once properly introduced and gets along nicely with children. Luna is looking for a loving home where she can enjoy plenty of walks, cuddles, and companionship – and in return, she’ll bring joy, loyalty, and endless affection every day. Luna is not cat or pocket pet tolerant. DOB: 13/03/2021 M/C: 956000014490646 |
Betty - aged almost 7 yearsSponsored by Simba’s Story as a Guardian Angel and Helping Hero

A Valentine Girl 💕When it comes to spreading love, Betty is a natural. This affectionate girl's birthday falls on Valentine’s Day, and she’s hoping to find her forever home. Betty has a big heart and loves being close to her people. Whether it’s leaning in for pats or following you around the house, she makes every day feel a little warmer.
In her foster home, Betty waits patiently for her humans to return when left alone for a few hours. When they come home, she gets so excited that she can be a little jumpy but is learning to curb this behaviour. Betty has mastered her toilet training and walks beautifully with a harness. She’s also discovered the joy of toys, proudly gathering her treasures and tucking them into her bed as if building her own little collection. Her favourite things include affectionate cuddles, gentle walks, and being part of whatever her family is doing. She would love a home where she can be involved inf daily life and stay be close to her humans, sharing affection and companionship. With her friendly personality, lovely manners, and faithful heart, Betty will make a wonderful addition to any household. Betty is not cat or pocket pet tolerant.

Zorro (aka Tommy) - aged almost 4 years
|
A Playful PalZorro 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, Zorro’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. When he spots another dog, all he wants is to go and play, so he’ll need some further training to understand that not all dogs are ready for playtime. Zorro 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, Zorro could be the perfect fit. He’s ready to find a loving home where he can continue his journey from kennel to couch! Zorro is not cat or pocket pet tolerant. D.O.B.: 07/04/2022 M/C: 956000014569938 |
Connie - aged almost 5 years
|
Ready to Run Into Your HeartConnie is actually short for con-artist, because she’ll charm you with her good looks and sweet sugary face, and then reveal she is very much not a couch potato. Instead, this four and a half year old is a magical mix of rocket-powered chopsticks with a super brain. One thing to know about Connie is that whilst she has The Biggest and Cutest Personality, she is small in stature, making her the ultimate 25kg pocket rocket.
Always ready for life’s greatest joys: zooming around, playing fetch (and yes, she’ll bring it back too), rolling in things that smell amazing, solving puzzles and finding new things to be curious about. Connie will also fit a little snooze in to recharge her speed sticks. One of Connie’s favourite hobbies is leaving a trail of toys from her basket into the yard. You’ll usually find her at the end, sprawled in the grass with her tongue lolling in pure joy. Connie is living solo in her foster home but has met and socialised well with other greyhounds. She lives by the motto that a friend is just someone you haven’t met (and leaned on) yet. In Connie’s world, that applies just as much to fellow greyhounds as it does to people. Though Connie has shown she can spend time on her own, she would absolutely adore having a houndie friend and a human who enjoys greyhound gatherings and walks, so she can continue living her best life as the social butterfly she is. With her bright, curious mind, Connie is the kind of dog who picks up new things in a flash. She loves using that clever noggin, so activities like trick training, agility, or even nose-work could be wonderfully enriching, and a lovely way to build a strong bond together. A home with a yard for her daily zoomies would suit her beautifully, and because of her enthusiastic approach to life, a family with older children would be best. Connie isn’t suited to homes with small dogs, pocket pets, or cats. D.O.B.: 29/09/2021 M/C: 956000013019150 |
Jewel - aged 6 years
|
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 |
Piper - aged 5 yearsKindly sponsored by Christopher in loving memory of Mojo ❤️ as a Guardian Angel and Helping Hero

The Cheeky Soccer Ball QueenHello bootiful hoomans… I’m Piper, and yes, I love everyone… lots!!
I’m a happy, smart and confident girl. I’m a little on the smaller side, and they tell me I’m very pretty! My favourite pastime, apart from getting cuddles and being a shadow, is playing with a soccer ball or two, usually at the same time. I don’t mind a tennis ball, but the big ones I can really get my teeth into are so much more fun! I am very playful and sometimes a little cheeky. I like to play hide and seek with your stuff! You’ll usually get it back in one piece, but occasionally it just tastes a little too good. I do walk well on the lead, even if I meander a bit sometimes, and I’m not afraid of loud traffic or motorbikes. I don’t mind a short walk, but if you think you’re taking me on a long one, I’ll make it really slow! I eat everything and love treats. I never do my business inside, and learning to use the doggie door was a piece of cake. I sleep right through the night, and you wouldn’t even know I’m there (I don’t snore!). I like to hang out with other dogs sometimes, but I would prefer no other dogs in my home because I want all the attention. I would also love to live with someone who is home a bit and maybe has a couple of smaller hoomans (but not too small) to keep me entertained. If this sounds like you, and you like the sound of me, pick me now and apply. I am really cute after all!! 🐾 Piper is not cat or pocket pet tolerant. DOB: 07/12/2020 M/C: 956000013062597 |
Baz - aged almost 4 years
|
From Couch Manners to Fetch SkillsMeet Baz! Baz is a very mellow dog and an easy companion. He walks well on the lead without pulling and travels beautifully in the car. He’s quiet at night, fully toilet trained, doesn’t go on the couch, and is learning to go to his bed when told.
He has also learned to live peacefully with chickens, as long as they stay in their coop. Baz enjoys two walks a day, needs good‑quality food to avoid tummy upsets, and loves neck scratches. He takes treats gently and even plays fetch with a tennis ball. Baz would suit a family with older children, new retirees, or full‑time workers, or he’d simply love to be a constant companion. He does need a backyard where he can burn off some energy. Baz is not cat or pocket pet tolerant. DOB: 09/08/2022 M/C: 956000014489459 |
Cuddles - aged 6 years
|
A Loving and Laid-Back SoulThis 6‑year‑old female Greyhound is a calm and gentle companion with a well‑balanced nature.
Cuddles is good with other dogs and interacts well with children, making her suitable for a variety of households. She walks beautifully on the lead and remains calm and well‑mannered during outings. She is toilet trained, eats well without fuss, and travels comfortably in the car, even on journeys of around an hour. She’s also confident getting into the car on her own. Cuddles has a kind and composed personality, with occasional short bursts of playful energy. She enjoys interactive play with both people and other dogs but is equally happy to rest and sleep for extended periods. Cuddles would suit a home looking for an affectionate, noble companion with a gentle, and friendly nature. Cuddles is not cat or pocket pet tolerant. DOB: 02/12/2019 M/C: 956000012206239 |
Princess - aged 4 years
|
A Royal WigglebutPrincess by name and Princess by nature, this little girl is affectionate, playful, and loving. Once she’s settled into her forever home, she gives the greatest wigglebutt when her humans get home from work.
She’s very social with both humans and dogs, loves her foster siblings, and follows them around. She has learned to walk nicely on lead, knows where and when to go to the toilet, and is always happy to give and receive affection. She’s a bit of a bowerbird with toys and slippers. If you can’t find your slipper, it might be safely tucked away in her bed! Princess travels well in the car and is a great companion. She tolerates being alone when humans go to work and, once she knows the routine, goes with the flow beautifully. Princess is not cat or pocket pet tolerant. DOB: 25/12/2021 M/C: 956000014504997 |
Soda - aged 5 years
|
Full of Sweetness and Zero CaloriesMeet Soda! Soda is a five‑year‑old lady whose bright and cheerful nature shines through in everything she does. Living with two primary‑school children, Soda is happiest when surrounded by her little humans. She stands patiently beside them for pats and scratches, soaking up the affection with a gentle tail wag and soft eyes.
Soda listens closely to her people and truly wants to please. If she forgets a rule, a quickly reminder is all she needs to get back on track. She has a calm confidence and a kind heart that make her easy to love. She’s also very gentle with the family cats, even stepping aside and letting them nap on her bed without complaint. While many cat‑friendly greyhounds can be shy, Soda has taken city life in stride. She walks nicely on the lead and handles new sights and sounds with ease. She loves greeting people and is always happy to receive a pat, though meeting other dogs can sometimes make her a bit nervous. With a patient and understanding owner, she will continue to grow more confident. Soda recently enjoyed a week’s holiday with another greyhound and shared space beautifully, showing she can live happily as an only dog or alongside a calm companion. Soda is ready to bring warmth and gentle joy to her forever home. With her soft nature and loving personality, she’ll make every day feel a little brighter. DOB: 09/12/2021 M/C: 956000014848896 |
Max - aged 6 years
|
A Cushion Keeper and Heart StealerMax is a calm and affectionate boy who has settled beautifully into home life. Fully house‑trained and very obedient, he’s quick to respond when called, often trotting over with a happy wag of his tail, ready for a pat or a kind word.
One of Max’s favourite pastimes is collecting toys and cushions, which he carefully gathers into a pile without destroying them whatsoever, just likes having his own collection close by. It’s his way of feeling comfortable and content. When out and about, Max walks nicely on the lead. He’s curious about the world but remains calm and polite when meeting people or passing other dogs. At home, he likes his own space when eating and would be happiest as the only dog in the family. Max can show possessiveness over certain things, but he responds quickly to gentle reminders and clear structure. A kind, consistent owner who sets boundaries will find him very easy to guide. For example, if he’s tempted to hop on the bed, a simple reminder sends him back to his own spot without any fuss. After a walk or a play, Max loves to relax, he stretches out for a long nap, often rolling onto his back for a big, comfy roach. Max is not cat or pocket pet tolerant.

Vinnie - aged almost 9 years
|
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 years
|
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.
