Greyhounds As Pets

Greyhounds As Pets Greyhounds As Pets (GAP) is a not for profit initiative coordinated by Greyhound Racing NSW They don't need a big yard (or a yard at all).

Greyhounds make fantastic pets for families, working people and the elderly. Greyhounds are: Gentle, Affectionate, Clean, Quiet, Good with other dogs (some also love cats), LOW maintenance and Long lived. They will walk well on a lead and require only 15-20 minutes exercise 1-2 times daily (just like a normal pooch). They rarely shed and have a short coat.

Happy Adopter Tails | Trudy & Bluebell 🐾🩵

Trudy adopted Bluebell just two months ago — and it was love at first sight 🥰

“I had been thinking about getting an assistance dog, (I had a workplace injury 8 years ago in which I lost the use of my left arm) but I’m so glad I didn’t — because Bluebell gives me everything I need.

My previous dog, a Kelpie, was just too strong — even with a waist lead, I couldn’t manage her. But Bluebell is completely different. She just walks easily beside me — she’s so calm, not jumpy, and just fits into our world so naturally.”

“I didn’t know much about greyhounds before I reached out to GAP, and they matched me with the right greyhound for my situation. When Julia from the GAP team brought Bluebell around, I just said, ‘she can stay.’ It was love at first sight!”

“She’s brought a lot of joy into our lives — it’s those little everyday moments that make everything feel lighter. She’ll lie there with her tongue hanging out while I massage her paws — I even bought lanolin and give her little foot spas. She absolutely loves it.”

“She’s definitely a bit of a shoe 👞 hoarder — but we find it adorable! She can do no wrong. I’ve even joked about giving her her own bedroom.” 💕

Senior Sunday | Tilly 7 years 🌸🐱
“I’m cat suitable”

This sweet black greyhound has been waiting that little bit longer for her home and we don’t know why, she’s so easygoing, funny, affectionate and just wants to belong. 🥹

Cat suitable and could suit a family with older kids, a work-from-home household, or a home with another dog for company.

Happy Adopter Tails | Toby 💛🐾

In case you were wondering who adopted Toby… 💫

This couple were completely smitten when they met Toby on Sunday 🥰

“Toby caught our eye on the list because he’s a little bit older and suits our lifestyle.

Because we work nine to five, he’ll be good indoors by himself, and ready for lots of cuddles when we get home after a long day.”
