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.
​More information about the adoption process can be found here
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 dogs which are suitable for your circumstances - that also means we will discourage you if you want a dog that your circumstances 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

Zorro (aka Tommy) - aged 4 years

Sponsored by Simba’s Story as a Guardian ​Angel and Helping Hero

A Playful Pal

Zorro 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!

Max - aged 6 years

Kindly sponsored by:
Guardian ​Angel - Antoinette Ciconte

A Cushion Keeper and Heart Stealer 

Max 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 9 years

Kindly sponsored by:
Guardian ​Angel Suvi in loving memory of Dinky Lokuge ❤️

An Easygoing Pal 

Vinnie 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.

Astrid - aged almost 7 years

Kindly sponsored by:
Guardian ​Angel - Antoinette Ciconte

A Sweet Girl Finding Her Confidence 

At 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 years

Kindly sponsored by:
Guardian ​Angel - Antoinette Ciconte

Keeping Things Interesting 

Monty 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.

Jess - aged 5 years

Kindly sponsored by:
Guardian ​Angel - Antoinette Ciconte

Learning to Trust, Ready To Love 

Jess, 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.

Milo - aged almost 5 years

Kindly sponsored by:
Helping Hero - Lyndall in loving memory of
​George and Zoe 🐾

Great Things Start From Small 

Milo 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.

Beau - aged 4 years

A Curious Follower with Good Appetite 

Beau is a gorgeous boy with a really lovely nature. He loves following people around the house and is always up for a cuddle.

He enjoys chasing after a ball and bringing it back, though he is still learning to drop it into an open hand. He is a curious boy who likes to check out everything going on around him.

Beau has learnt to go outside after meals and before bed, which has made the routine nice and easy.

He walks well on the lead and sometimes likes to lean in close while walking, which is pretty endearing. He is getting better at taking treats gently, and keeping a closed hand until he settles helps him understand what is expected.

Beau can be quite excited when his people first get home from work and may need a bit of extra guidance to calm down. He is much more settled when other visitors come through the door.

He would do best in a home with a confident, well-mannered dog who can show him the ropes and help him understand his boundaries.

Star - aged 2 years

Kindly sponsored by:
Guardian Angel - Suvi Lokuge in loving memory of Max

From Timid Beginnings to Loving Cuddles 

Star 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.

Penny - aged almost 7 years

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.

Evan🥚- aged 1 ½ years

A Young Boy with a Playful Spark

Evan, affectionately known as Eggs by his foster family, is a sweet youngester with so much love to give. While still young he is a sensible boy (most of the time), happy to take himself off for backyard zoomies or to lay in the sun outside. When he's inside, he is content to snooze the day away on his bed. He will come to find you if you call for him but otherwise confident and happy by himself.  

Walks are a daily highlight, he loves to meet new people, but other dogs can be a little overwhelming when out. He's building his confidence with polite doggy friends quickly and just needs his new humans to help him and not ask too much when he is feeling worried. 

Eggs lives with 2 primary school age kids and two older confident cats. He loves all his family, licking his kitty siblings as greetings and occasionally trying to play with them. The cats tell him off when he is being an annoying younger sibling and he is then very good at leaving them alone. Confident cats are likely to be best to live with Eggs due to his young age and playful nature. 

His foster family recently got a second foster dog and this has really brought out his playful energic puppy nature. He would live happily with another dog or be very content as an only fur-child. 

Aside from his devastatingly handsome face, his adorable nickname, and his exceptionally long and gorgeous legs, he also boasts pearly white teeth and a generous helping of puppy dog eyes. 

Is Eggs your new perfect addition? Apply to meet him and fall in love. He's impossible to resist.
