Greyhound Adoption
It's a New Year and hopefully a good one!
Last year, we launched our adoption programme, just before the Covid Lockdown - who knew?!
We adopted our first greyhound out at the end of June and in total, we matched eight greyhounds with their families, which we are over the moon with!
We started this year with a meet and greet on New Year's Day, so hopefully will be another greyhound in their forever home.
Not all our greyhounds make it to the website or Facebook page - some we match with their family before that happens. So please, do complete our questionnaire if you are looking to adopt - your greyhound may be already waiting!
Happy New Year to everyone that has supported us and to all those that have joined the Kiwikiwi Hound family.
Adoption number 7 and 8 happened recently - more happy hounds!

Mission Statement
Our mission is to help retired racing greyhounds find loving pet homes at the end of their racing career and to actively promote greyhounds as wonderful pets.
Working alongside other rehoming groups, we strive to individually match each dog with a family. We will offer ongoing support and guidance to all adoptive families, for however long is needed after the initial adoption.
We will be working with the Great Mates Rehoming programme, which was set up by Greyhound Racing New Zealand (GRNZ) in 2019.
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 for a new life as a pet. GRNZ 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. GRNZ and Nightrave Greyhounds will provide this specialist training.
