Brownie is a pretty BLUE, unraced girl, who has just turned 2! She was hand raised as she was the only puppy in the litter. Because of this she can be a little spoiled and will need a home with an experienced large dog owner along with rules and boundaries. With a little time invested, she will be an awesome friend for life!
Pick a card. Any card. No… not that one! Okay so we may not be talented magicians here at GAP but we do have one crowd pleasing trick up our sleeve… Introducing the magical, the fantastical, the adorable DYNAMO! With 8 years of magical wisdom under her belt, Dynamo is a relaxed and gentle old soul looking for a peaceful retirement. She would suit a quieter home without younger children or other pets. Dynamo is fine with full time workers as this will give her plenty of time to practice her grand illusions such as camouflaging herself into her pile of blankets for hours. Her relaxed nature also makes her suitable for apartment living but if this were the case she would prefer someone around a little more often to take her out to toilet and stretch her legs. Dynamo loves to go for walks and has even mastered one of the hardest tricks of all: stairs! She would prefer to start off with shorter walks in quieter areas rather than epic adventures as she builds her confidence on the stage of pet life. When you get home she will gladly recharge quietly backstage on her cosy bed and has even shown us she likes spending time curled up in an open crate. So apply within if you are in need of your very own magical assistant but beware that she may just steal the show! Dynamo is available from the 1st of September on a foster-to-adopt basis at our Western Sydney facility.
A large and stunning golden boy with an engine that is ready to go! Chev is a rather large boy and at nearly 4yo he certainly isn’t shy of acting his silly self. Chev very much enjoys playing ball and eating yummy treats. The energy doesn’t last long however and soon settles to bed, exhaust-ed! Chev is slowly learning how to gently approach his doggy friends, a lot of the time he doesn’t realise just how big he is! With a lot of size, comes a lot of love! He absolutely adores the company of humans but he can cope for a considerable period alone or would like to have a robust larger canine for company for the longer hours alone. Due to Chev’s size and excitable nature, it would be best for his home to have teenage+ or no children and a yard for his play time. Chev is currently available for adoption through our Wyee facility.
Looking for something a bit different to sweeten up in your home? You know the sort that is a bit like a licorice all-sort which has a bit of everything but has that unique taste? Then Candy may be exactly what you're looking for. She is young at only 2, tiny at 24kg, bright and bubbly but also has the perfect off button when needed as well. Being young she has a bit of the old fashioned humbug in her that will need some work, like walking on the lead respectfully to name a few things but with a bit of time and patience this little humbug will turn into the most delicious smooth coated caramel soft center you have ever known. Candy needs a full size yard with access to it during the day, a bucket load of patience and a family that enjoys the same life values as her - like everyday is like a box of chocolates :) She is fine for casual/part time workers but not someone who is away all all day every day but no kids under 12 please and she is best suited on her own or with another greyhound companion. Sounds like your gal? Then apply now as she will last as long as a bag of party mix at a kids party!
*Toby has recently gone into foster care - updates coming soon!* Introducing Mr Tobias G. Hound, known only to his closest friends (i.e. every single person he meets) as Toby. This fine gentleman is looking for a forever family where he will be the centre of attention, so a home without any other pets would be best. Toby is a very sweet and affectionate boy who loves nothing more than getting as many pats and scritches as you’re willing to give! He would prefer not to spend the whole day waiting for his humans to come home and adore him, so he is suitable for households that are away for part-time hours during the day maximum. Toby is happy to share his home with older kids, but due to his love for zoomies and comically tossing his toys around rambunctiously in between naps, he requires home without any young children. Toby has beautiful lead manners and will happily trot along beside you on your morning walk - he’ll even help you make friends with people walking by as he bounds towards them to say hello and solicit pats! Did we mention this clever boy would do anything for a treat? He has even learned to walk up and down stairs and will look expectantly at you afterwards for his yummy reward! With his good looks to match his charming personality, we think this boy is a catch! Submit an application to take Toby home on a foster-to-adopt basis today!

This is a test dog profile named Goldie.
Just like the beautiful stone he is named for, this boy is an absolute gem! Meet Jasper, the delightful 4-year-old greyhound with a unique love of life! Jasper is a happy and playful boy that will bring endless entertainment and joy into any home! He has been working hard on his lead manners during his stay at GAP and we would recommend walking him on a harness.
Like my name my personality is gold. I am very friendly and love to have a chat. I would be happy chillin' by myself or hanging with my mates. I love toys and am very outgoing. I am looking for a new best friend and if you think you might be the one make sure you contact the girls, being the stud that I am I won’t be around for long.
Cal is the perfect retired person's dream dog. No spring chicken himself, he is very laid back with a divine nature all of his own and his favourite moments are when he gets a brush and once tea is over he is out like a light on his mat dreaming of the next days lazy activities of - not a lot. Cal needs a full sized yard so no townhouse or apartments please and if ideal to be the only dog for the only reason that he wants all the attention on him as you do. If you're looking for a calm, quiet, easy going hound to share your digs with then Cal may very well be the dude you need
If you’re one to enjoy wet slobbery greyhound kisses then this is the girl for you! This happy little vegemite is Melissa, at just 2yo she has a lot to learn but she takes just about everything in her stride. She is quite the exuberant type and has a lot of love to give. She has adjusted to the GAP life well and is often seen laying in the winter sunshine. Melissa becomes a little exited when meeting other canine buddies and is learning to have a slow and gentle approach- the excitement sometimes get the best of her! She enjoys some chicken tender treats and soft toys to throw in the air. Melissa will need a home with a yard for playtime with or without a med/lrg canine companion. She wouldn’t mind if her new family were full time workers but if they were home more often than not she would lap up as much smooch time as possible. As she has a love for food and an excitable personality, teenage+ or no children would be best. Melissa is available now at our Central Coast facility!
As sweet as the sound of a harp, this shy sweetheart is looking for the perfect patient parents to give her a quiet home to live in.
Look into my smexy eyes and tell me you don't want to look at my divine ears every minute of every day…. Because that is what you will do with our love bug Deigo. This dude loves company so is ideal for a middle ages retired couple or casual workers looking for someone to share their home with.He is pretty lazy, walks lovely on the lead and is perfect to live on his own - with you :) He has not been tested with other dogs however pays no interest to them when on a walk out and about and with this in mind we think a home as the only dog is the way to go for him. He will require 6ft fences or colourbond the whole way around and is not suitable for apartment or townhouse living. So if you're a family with older teens, retired middle age couple or a working couple with no other animals then get in touch to see if he is the guy for you.
Calling all the active peeps looking for an active partner. If you're a jogger, power walker or like to get out all the time with exercise regularly, then Pirate is your man. Pirate has 2 switches and that is on the go - then goodnight. The second can't be activated until the first and he goes against the grain of everything greyhound as he is no lazy lout. He would be a great only dog and has been inside the house getting himself Pet ready to find his new digs. Ideal for a young couple that wants someone who enjoys life as much as them and he won't mind if you have to go to work every day as long as you are ready to go when you get home. He is a big boy so we would prefer someone with big dog experience and if this sounds like you, then contact us for more information about him.
Are you looking for a calm and loving furry companion to brighten your days? Our sweet Shae may just be your girl!
*Ava has recently gone into foster care with another Greyhound to show her the ropes of pet life. Here is an update from her foster carers: “Ava is going really well. She’s learning quickly about us and we are learning her ways. We’re seeing that she’s quite intelligent and very interested in what is going on in and around the house.”
You will feel like you’ve won an Aussie music award with this absolute price! Meet Aria, a 3yr diva who makes up for her small stature with a BIG personality. Like most divas, Aria definitely prefers to be a solo star in her forever home, and keep all interactions with other dogs (her ‘paparazzi’) to short meetings in passing. Aria is prone to wanting a human dance partner, so can sometimes jump up on people when excited, her personal gurus at GAP are teaching her with plenty of treats that a four pawed greeting is much more polite. Given Aria’s energy, we believe that any children that Aria would share her stage with should be experienced with boisterous larger breeds. She would also need a private backyard for her to practice her zoomie routine in- she's a perfectionist like that!
Style, elegance, tradition and modernity. This Louis Vuitton is the most stylish type in town! At just 3yo, Louis has a lot to learn but he is picking things up so quickly. He is a very easy going boy that’s fashionable all year round. He doesn’t mind being on his own, he would actually prefer it that way as he can be a little picky with who he wants his doggy friends to be. Louis has shown to have lovely soft leash manners when going for a stroll and doesn’t mind a gentle smooch or 2 while spending time with humans. We feel Louis would suit a variety of homes, however older or no children would be best as he can sometimes be a little sensitive in new environments and would benefit from taking everything nice and slow. Louis will need a yard with Opaque fencing as he does like to talk to those who pass by. If you feel you need for style in your life, Louis is available now at our Central Coast facility.
Scorpios are known by their calm and cool behaviour, and by their mysterious appearance.. And when you meet Scorpio you'll understand why he is the epitome of exactly that! Scorpio is only small in stature compared to his other male counterparts but what he lacks in size he makes up for in enthusiasm. Enthusiasm for food and attention, always approaching people with a wiggly tail. He is a little shy at first but loves people so much and with time and patience Scorpio will become a well-adjusted young man. Scorpio would benefit from a nice quiet suburb with a garden to spend his days. He is happy to be on his own but with a proper introduction may be able to have a medium to large canine friend. Scorpio is still gaining his confidence and will need to continue to do so in his new home , so someone who understands gentle exposure would be best. He is not suitable to being homed with small pets or cats, and older children over young would be best. Back to that mysterious appearance - You may notice Scorpio is a rather hairless guy; don't worry, he has had this checked at the vet and with time and a nutrient rich diet this will improve. He is available on a foster to adopt basis now at our Wyee Facility.
Just your friendly neighbour-hood Greyhound!
*Zavier’s “Plenty-of-Greys” profile*Age: 3 but pretends he’s 8.Occupation: Casual desk jockey (lazy).Likes: Treats, fresh home grown grass, organic sunshine, other treats.Dislikes: Soy milk, people that chew loud, having to live with small animals, too much affection.Dream home: Quiet, no children, people with those awful “full-time jobs”, lazy desk jockeys welcome, large canine friends as long as they don’t drink soy milk. Lots of yard space for his casual work activities.A message from Zavier:
They call me Badger, but I am quite the opposite of the little stumpy legged and fluffy fellows. My legs are long, I am gracious (or so i think) and I reckon I could run faster than them too!
If you’re in need of a noble knight to rule over your personal Camelot, then look no further than GAP’s very own King Arthur!
Picture you’re a little kid. You’ve just arrived at Disneyland for the very first time! You can see the show bags, the rollercoasters, the fun mirrors, the disney princesess... All that excitement has you squealing and running toward the fun. Well, you’re basically picturing our silly Butters.
Did you know Dingoes have been on mainland Australia for over 4,000 years – crikey! Did you also know that Dingoes are in the canine family but aren’t actually dogs?
Get ready for a hound who is sweet yet spicy and oh so satisfying: Burrito! Affectionately known as "B".
On Wednesdays we wear Pink (coats)! Introducing Glen Coco, a hound so fabulous that all who meet him want to be his friend (even Mean Girls!). And can you blame them!? He is so fetch!
This stunning 4 year old brindle boy is in search of his new home. Grunt has an infectious zest for life and loves nothing more than bounding around the yard after his toys. He has lovely leash manners and would enjoy an active home that can take him on daily walks.
Please welcome the Greek God Apollo! - God of healing and poetry. This handsome fellow will definitely heal your soul with his sweet nature and his wagging tail. Apollo, like any deity, would love a home where he can be waited on paw to paw. He does have an independent nature so would do best in a home where he can have a backyard to have plenty of ‘me’ time; it doesn’t need to be Mount Olympus though! Apollo has spent some time in a home where he has learned the art of sleeping on cushions and pick-pocketing things he'd like to keep. Although he can be very affectionate, he equally likes having time to himself so would prefer to live in a quieter household with no children. Apollo would suit a home with someone that is happy to just have a side-kick nearby, and not a dog that wants to jump in your bed with you.
Miss Darcy Doo! This gorgeous girl has a lot of love and fun filled times to give. She has only been with us for a short time and has shown just how much she enjoys her inside time with us humans. Darcy has had indoor experience before coming into GAP and we feel she could adjust into multiple homes. Darcy may suit an apartment type lifestyle as long as her humans were home more often than not and have a comfy bed in the sunshine waiting for her. Darcy has shown to be quite the independent woman and doesn’t mind being an only dog to lap up all the attention. If other dogs become a little too close to her bubble, she may have a little growl to tell them to back off. We feel teenage+ or no children would be best as Darcy appreciates the quiet times. If you feel Darcy sounds like your type, she is available at our Wyee facility now.
