About

Amazing Greys is a private greyhound adoption group in Melbourne dedicated to finding loving homes for unwanted greyhounds.
We rescue, rehabilitate and re-home former racing greyhounds but also young greyhounds who did not make it to the track.
Amazing Greys has no kennels and all greyhounds live in loving foster homes. We always need more foster carers to keep our greyhounds safe until a permanent home can be found.

Please get in touch via info@amazinggreys.com.au if you would like to find out more!
Email foster@amazinggreys.com.au if you're keen to foster.

Mimi

Greyhound

Loves a cuddle!

When Mimi came into foster care several weeks ago she was a very shy and timid girl. She would keep to herself and didn’t care very much about interacting with her foster parents and was inexperienced with things such as stairs and playing with toys. But over time this precious girl has blossomed into a delightful and sweet pup. Here's what her foster folks have to say about her: "Each day she continues to learn and discover new exciting things such as playing with her squeaky stuffed animal (though she may need some coaxing to get her going). One of Mimis favourite daily activities is going for a walk- she is a wonderful walker and never pulls on her lead. She enjoys taking her time and always stops for sniffs. She loves to dig her nose into a bed of flowers or a bush so we always allow her the time to have a sniff. Mimi does get a little nervous when small and charismatic dogs try to approach her so we try our best to create distance between the two dogs while we pass by each other and she is normally fine and will continue happily. She takes interest in larger, calmer dogs and has not had any problems with nipping or fighting when she has been socialising with other greyhounds. Most of Mimi's daily activities consist of napping and cuddles. She loves a good snuggle up on the couch and loves to be rubbed under her chin. Mimi is a mature girl and isn’t keen on taking on large flights of stairs… if she isn’t feeling it she will stop dead in her tracks. She can also be a bit clumsy at times and is known to fall off of the couch due to carelessness so we try to keep an eye on her if we see her getting close to the edge. We also keep any eye on her teeth and brush them regularly to encourage good dental health. Mimi eats twice a day, one cup of dry kibble in the morning and two cups in the evening, she does get spoiled every now and then with bits of cooked steak or canned fish. The smell of cooked meat is next to irresistible to our dear Mimi so she needs to be watched carefully if there is anything in her reach… she’s very quick. Otherwise Mimi is very good at listening and knows that she is not allowed to have anything off our plates, but she does like to sniff what is be served which is enough to satisfy her. Mimi is such a lovely and gentle dog and would make a great addition to a happy home. Mimi takes the definition of patience to a new level and I could see her happily settling in with a young family. We are so happy to have had the time to get to know her fun and quirky personality that continuously grows as she figures out how to be a pet for the first time in her life. She is a beautiful and regal girl."

Zoe

Greyhound

LOVES TO CUDDLE

Zoe is a 4yr old, sweet natured girl who LOVES pats and cuddles with you! If she can’t be getting cuddles while snoozing on the couch she’s happy out on walks sniffing the world and saying hello to all the people she passes. Zoe first went into foster care as an only dog but got so sad when her foster Mum would go to work she would bark for her to come back. She has since been in foster care with other dogs (a male greyhound and a female staghound cross, and in another home with one female greyhound) and is much happier to have their company, so she will need to go to a home with another medium-large dog. She gets along very well with her foster siblings and loves to say hi to all the dogs she meets, however she can be overly enthusiastic with small dogs, so is not suited to a home with one. She has not been cat tested and needs a home with no cats or other small furries. Zoe is settling in well to house life after racing and is toilet trained, and loves going in the car. She is great at going to lie quietly on her bed, although she's still learning commands, and other house rules - her new family will be able to teach her, as she's eager to please. You can check out some of her adventures on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/lifeofa_fosterdog/

Miss Peppa

Greyhound

Curly tail

Miss Peppa is energetic and inquisitive. She enjoys her exercise and isn't so much of a couch potato as yet. She LOVES food and is easy to train with food. She loves to nest and will pinch toys or dirty washing and put it in a big pile on the lounge room floor. She loves swimming and adventures. Relaxes inside very easily and does the best roaching with her monkey belly. Such a sweet nature and easy going little girl. She loves to help in the garden and will follow you around all day trying to help. She's best suited to a home with other dogs as she has never been alone and looks to older dogs for guidance. She's still a pup and loves to play. She will even chase a ball!!! Peppa is a very special little girl, indeed.

Boss

Greyhound

Lounge lizard

Boss is a four year old ex-racer who had a terrible accident on the track and needed one of his legs amputated. He is a tripod greyhound! He is not worried about it though and lives life to the fullest. He is a happy and agile boy who loves people. Boss is seeking a special home, a home where his special needs are met, e.g. he has trouble on slippery tile flooring and would prefer a carpeted home. He also loves the outdoors but would get a bit too excited in a big outdoor space so perhaps an apartment or townhouse would suit him better. He absolutely loves people and is your typical velcro greyhound. He currently lives with children without problems and follows them around the house. He does however sometimes steal their stuffed animals and plays with them :) Boss is completely healed from his leg amputation and has been living indoors for over 6 months. He is house and toilet trained and extremely well behaved. He has a beautiful nature and loves affection and cuddles and really deserves the very best. His ideal family would have some experience with greyhounds however it is not a deal breaker. He is not suitable for a home with cats or small dogs. If you think you can offer Boss his forever home, please email us adopt@amazinggreys.com.au or message us via this page.

Buddy

Greyhound

Loves a cuddle!

Buddy is the most affectionate and snuggly boy, who loves nothing more than to tuck his cold wet nose into your armpit :’D He loves being close to you, and if you’re at home he’ll follow you around the house every time you move rooms, even if that means cosying up on the tiles in the kitchen instead of his comfy bed! He’s also very happy hanging out on his own so long as he’s got a teddy to cuddle up to. If Buddy’s toys aren’t close at hand, he’ll happily substitute them with a shampoo bottle or a novel, so it’s best to have these things up where he can’t reach them! Buddy has learned the commands ‘sit’ and ‘on your bed’ very well, especially if there’s peanut butter involved. He loves other dogs, and has loved having Wes, his greyhound mate as a playmate. Buddy would happily have another canine friend in his forever home, and is a really gentle and calm doggy, but can be enticed into playing with you very easily! Buddy was destined for the couch potato life, so if you have some space on yours, get in touch!
