About

Gumtree Greys' rescue and rehome greyhounds across the east coast of Australia, primarily from Gumtree (online classifieds), regional pounds and trainers/owners.

Adoption details

Dogs are pack animals and Greyhounds, in particular, are very familiar with being surrounded by other dogs in their racing kennel environment. For this reason, when left alone without people or other dogs for company, they can be prone to separation anxiety which can manifest in destructive and/or noisy behaviour. Yes, they may "grow out" of it after a few weeks in their new home, but why put the dog through that stress to ultimately live all day alone, while everyone is at work? As a result we do not rehome dogs into households where they are left on their own for more than 4 hours per day, without either people or another dog for company.

Contact Gumtree Greys via: 0402 616 964 OR gumtree.greys@gmail.com

Following your initial application, we conduct a home check. Our dogs are placed on a two week trial. The adoption fee is paid at time of placement and reimbursed if the trial is unsuccessful.

After the trial period is deemed successful, the adoption process is finalised.

Clyde

Greyhound

The happiest hound

Clyde has a special talent for generating laughter! He's a solid, clumsy boy, who bumbles cheerfully through life with a heart full of affection. In foster care, he's earned the nickname "Captain Bedfall", because of his tendency to roll right off his bed, and continue sleeping quite happily on the floor. Fortunately he's not interested in sleeping on beds or couches, so there's not too far to fall! Clyde is a marvellously affectionate dog (without being too needy), who is very good with children and other dogs. He'll need a loving home with lots of company, or a doggy friend who shares his enthusiasm for playing. He finds walks very exciting but – like most greyhounds – is ready for another nap before he's gone far. Clyde's size and bounciness means he'll be best in a home with older children. Clyde has epilepsy, which can be easily managed with inexpensive tablets twice a day. We think this is a small price to pay for the endless laughs and love that Clyde will give you. Clyde's hoping to meet an extra-special human who will love him, quirks and all – and promises to do the same in return!

“Missy & Spot”, Happiest Mother’s Day Ever. Bris

Greyhound

Our Love for Each Other

Missy and Spot are ready for adoption just in time for Mother’s Day, which is perfect because they’re mother and son! These two black beauties have a special bond, and although Missy is quick to keep Spot in line, they’re clearly devoted to each other. They’re the perfect ready-made family, and now just need some special humans to share the love and fun. Missy is pretty and petite, and still in good shape for her age, having recovered well from a nasty infection, with just some occasional older-lady grumpiness. Spot is tall and athletic, and particularly enjoys a good zoom around the garden. Both enjoy their daily walks, (despite getting themselves tangled), and their couches (they’re disappointed not to be allowed on the beds!) Spot is outgoing and loves everyone he meets, gravitating to the noisiest person in the room. Missy is more reserved and appreciates a quiet place to relax, although like Spot she has a fun-loving streak. Both are fine with hound-savvy children (six or over) and ok with other dogs who can handle their exuberance. Neither are tested with cats. Spot will charm you with his goofy enthusiasm, while Missy will win your heart with her spirit and individuality. Both will delight you with their good manners and intuitive ability to fit in with their humans. We can’t think of a better Mother’s Day present for Missy than to find a home with Spot – and the humans who adopt them will get the best gift of all! (Note: Missy is in the blue bandanna and Spot in brown).

“Ebony”, Unconventional Charm. Melbourne

Greyhound

I have bucky teefs

Ebony knows that the most beautiful girls have their own unique style! She is a larger black female greyhound with an elegant long nose and prominent overbite which makes her quite special indeed. With her soft, shiny fur, and adoring eyes, this big, bold babe is made for cuddles! She’s also up for plenty of playing and going for walks, provided she gets a good long snooze afterwards. She has a habit of falling asleep with her tongue sticking out so she will be sure to give you lots of giggles! Ebony’s in foster care with another greyhound, and is fine while her people are at work, as long as she has canine company (she hasn’t tried being all by herself). She likes meeting all kinds of dogs on lead, but gets a bit excited if they’re running around having fun without her. Ebony has plenty of big-girl bounce, so isn’t suitable for homes with young children who might get knocked over. She has a big-girl appetite too, and is learning to wait nicely for her food (it’s so hard!), as well as other commands like “stay” and “on your bed”. Ebony’s happy-go-lucky nature adds to her charm, and she’s always keen to know what you’re doing, so she doesn’t miss out on any fun. If you can imagine a big, black, bouncy, beautiful girl sharing the fun and laughter in your home, then Ebony would love to meet you!

"Philip", Confident and Curious. Melbourne

Greyhound

I'm a good looker

Despite being new to foster care, Philip has already achieved what most greyhounds only dream of – stealing a whole bag of cheese! This gently curious boy has a talent for sniffing out whatever is most interesting, whether it's unguarded food, or children's soft toys that look just right for playing with. It's all part of his confident, seize-the-moment attitude to life, and his determination to enjoy being a pet to the maximum. Philip is a relaxed boy, spending most of his time on his bed, or checking out what everyone is doing. He thinks everyone is his friend, including dogs both big and small, and will be happiest living with any sort of canine companion. The exception is cats – he's a little too curious about them to live with one. Philip has settled beautifully into indoor living (except for some petty thievery), and likes going up and down the stairs for no reason, just to show he can! He has an old leg injury that bothers him sometimes, but is getting stronger every day. Caramel-coloured Philip is gorgeous to look at, and even nicer to cuddle, or walk on his lead. He's now ready to achieve the most important dream of every rescued greyhound – finding the special human who will give him a home.

Damo”, Loyal Protector. Melbourne

Greyhound

Loving Retirement

Damo thinks retirement is wonderful, and is going through a second puppyhood as he learns the joys of being a pet! The speckles of grey hair that he brings from his former life give him a distinguished look, even while he’s frolicking like a lunatic, or trying to turn himself into a pretzel. Damo has struck the perfect balance between being playful and energetic outside, and being a big lazy lump indoors. He knows when it’s time to go crazy, and when to just enjoy being comfortable and happy. Damo is easy to live with, and plays well with his canine foster siblings. He’s still new to foster care, so we’re not sure yet about small dogs, cats, or children. Damo is devoted to his humans, so would like a home where he can get plenty of love and individual attention. He was toilet trained on his first day, although he’s still working on waiting till his humans are awake before needing to go out. He’s a healthy boy, desexed and ready for adoption. Damo has also learned the most important thing about being a pet: that his humans are the centre of his universe. He leans on his foster carers whenever he can, even while they’re trying to cook or hang the washing. He’s just letting them know that he’s there for them, to love and protect them forever. Would you do the same for him? To find out more, please email us at gumtree.greys@gmail.com or complete our online adoption enquiry form: http://gumtreegreys.com.au/gumtree_greys_adoption_enquiry
