About

Greyhound Adoption Program NSW

The Greyhound Adoption Program (NSW), Inc. is a non-profit organisation, incorporated with the NSW Department of Fair Trading, which is dedicated to the welfare of Greyhounds. We are also a charity. Our primary purpose is to educate the public on the benefits and care of Greyhounds as companion animals, and to find permanent loving homes for these beautiful hounds. We rely on memberships and donations for our funding and do not accept Greyhound Racing industry funds.

Ollie

Greyhound

Looking for love

Racing name: Blitzem Ollie (never actually raced) Whelped: Dec 2015 Sex: male Colour: black Weight: ~32kg Cat tolerant: maybe Available: October Ollie is a young energetic dog who was initially meek & shy when he first came into the program. Since then he has come out of his shell & is now showing off how sweet, cuddly, friendly but also playful and naughty he can be (at times). He is happily going through a second puppyhood. He loves to play with his basket full of toys but does not always recognise what is his, so if you’re missing some household items we suggest you check out his bedJ The more cuddles, massages & grooming the better as far as Ollie is concerned and with his thick teddy bear fur and puppy eyes you can’t help but fall for him. He is a large but very social dog who likes to be around people most of the day. His daily walk of 20 minutes is pleasant, with Ollie being very gentle on the leash: no pulling, greets other dogs, people on the street as well as visitors at home in a friendly manner. He eats his food gently, is not protective and loves his pigs ears & marrow bones. Ollie enjoys a moderate sized garden to make his daily zoomies. Even though he adapts quickly and is eager to learn, car rides can make him a bit nervous and this is being worked on. Ollie is currently in a foster home with two other Greyhounds & a bossy cat – he would suit a home with a confident, indoor only cat. With families we would recommend gentle children over 7 years of age. Ollie is sponsored by Ellen Moon and her Ollie. All our foster dogs are protected from fleas & ticks with NexGard®, kindly donated by Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health.

Looking for love

Racing name: Good Run Mary Whelped: Jan 2015 Sex: female Colour: black Weight: 26kg Cat tolerant: not tested Available: Dec Zara is a sweet natured girl who is keen to meet all people & dogs with a waggly tail. She has a quiet demeanour – equally happy to spend short periods lying out on the cool grass or being inside. She loves splashing around in the water & would be thrilled to have her own paddle pool over the warm summer months. Zara walks nicely on the lead & has an excellent appetite (a true “dish licker”). She would suit a range of different situations, from single older person, retired couple or a family with respectful children.

Ruby

Greyhound

Looking for love

Racing name: Silver Payten Whelped: June 2016 Sex: female Colour: red fawn & white Weight: ~ 27kg Cat tolerant: not tested Available: November Meet Ruby, a supermodel of the greyhound world (so I've been told!) with her beautiful eyeliner and those lovely long legs. Ruby is still a puppy at heart, being only 2.5 years old, and has been thoroughly enjoying her adventures through the the bush and is always in top gear on her walks, super keen and super curious about the world around her. She started off quite rusty with her leash manners, not taking into consideration where or what her handler is doing. With some training and consistent rules while out and about she's dropping along nicely by her handlers side so both can enjoy a casual stroll. She would greatly benefit from continuing her leash manners training in her new home. Ruby is one of the most incredibly affectionate and gentle greyhounds around, while she loves to jump about the house with a toy in her mouth, she equally loves snuggling up for lots of cuddles and kisses, giving you a gentle nose 'boop' as a polite way of asking for some more. She is very gentle with the people around her, even when she's bursting with excitement. So far Ruby has met all new dogs politely, big and small, and has enjoyed the company of three other greyhounds she's been sharing a house with in her foster home. She has happily shared her toys, bed and eating space like a true lady. She has thrived in her new pet life and has a HUGE amount of love to give to the lucky human/s who become her new forever family. All our foster dogs are protected from fleas & ticks with NexGard®, kindly donated by Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health.

Tessa

Greyhound

Looking for love

Racing name: Jessie Skeeta Whelped: Nov 2011 Sex: female Colour: black Weight: Currently attending Jenny Craig.... Cat tolerant: no Available: NOW Tessa has been retired & living as a house pet for the last three years. Unfortunately she was recently returned to GAP due to unforeseen changes in family circumstances. She previously lived with an elderly Chihuahua & gets on well with other (low energy) dogs that she knows. Tessa is used to being an indoor dog with human company much of the time & is very calm & relaxed around the home. Her ideal home would be with a single person or couple or perhaps a family with older children (15+). She has been living the good life & is currently on a weight reduction diet to get her back into shape. Tessa comes with two large dog beds & her favourite toys. Tessa is sponsored in memory of Anthony and Bryony's Kenya. All our foster dogs are protected from fleas & ticks with NexGard®, kindly donated by Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health.
