The Great Mates Rehoming Programme is dedicated to rehoming more greyhounds by providing full assessments, training, grooming, vet care and de-sexing, to fully prepare each retired racing greyhound in New Zealand for a new life as a pet. We want to give every dog the best chance of being successfully rehomed. Therefore, every dog that enters the GRNZ Great Mates Rehoming Programme will be assessed
not as a 'pass' or 'fail' but assessed in what areas they need extra training, to adjust to life as a pet. We are dedicated to making sure we are fair, consistent and successful in rehoming more retired greyhounds across the country. We have also established excellent partnerships with the following rehoming organizations: Greyhounds as Pets (GAP), May Hounds, Nightrave Greyhounds, and KiwiKiwi Hounds. Once each dog is ready for their new life as a pet, these agencies will perfectly match up a dog with a suitable family and continue supporting them after they have found their forever home. Greyhounds are wonderful to have as pets. They are loving, loyal, well-trained and easy-going dogs. They deserve a great retirement after their racing career ends, and we will make sure they get it!
