We Need Homes!
Please check regularly for new dogs!
We are currently only able to rehome within the South Island - sorry!
Please note - not all our greyhounds make it to the website! Sometimes, a hound comes into the programme and they are a perfect match for an existing applicant.
So, if you can't see what you want - please still complete our Application Questionnaire - your hound might be waiting for you!
Brownie (Smash What)
Atlas (Unraced)
Apple (Unraced
It's time for you all to meet the most delicious little dog Apple (pun fully intended)!
Apple (Unraced) is a 2 year old bundle of fun. She is a teeny tot and an absolute delight to be around. Whilst shy initially, it really doesn't take her much time to thaw and a fun loving, deeply affectionate, and a bit cheeky side emerges.
She is polite with other dogs - who are well mannered themselves - and friendly and does enjoy getting out and about and meeting new friends. Her lead manners are great and she is getting used to living in an urban environment with her fantastic foster family.
Apple is amazing with children that are respectful of her and is affectionate and LIVES for cuddles and really leans into them, she is also playful and life is just FUN!!!
Apple would make a wonderful companion for an existing dog of similar size, energy levels but we feel she would equally be suited if she was to be an only child.
If you would like add Apple (or another of our equally awesome greyhounds) to your family please will out the adoption questionnaire and the team will be in touch.
Ratsy (Unraced)
We just cannot rave about our little pumpkin Ratsy (Unraced) enough! At nearly 3 years old she is an absolute delight, full of fun and a joie de verve that is infectious. It is literally impossible to have a bad day with her around!
She is super cool, very affectionate little girl who is very human oriented. She loves being spoken too and is responsive to her handlers.
Ratsy is playful and social with other dogs and has beautiful lead manners. She enjoys getting out and about and making new friends. Currently in foster with another girl greyhound she is settling in well and her housekeeping skills are on point - she likes to keep her bedding scrupulously clean.
After a busy day being a social butterfly she enjoys cuddling up with her humans and her teddies - she also gets enjoyment from enrichment toys like a good kong stuffed with her favourite treats.
Ratsy would make an ideal companion for an existing dog of similar size/energy levels but would equally likely enjoy being an only child too. She is wonderful with children that are respectful of her and enjoys their company a lot.
And if she wasn’t awesome enough - she is CAT TRAINABLE to boot. The cat needs to be confident and not put off by her playful nature. Ratsy really is the total package and it will be a tremendously lucky family who adopts her.
If you would like to offer Ratsy (or another of our equally awesome greyhounds) a wonderful retirement home please fill out the Adoption Questionanaire and the team will be in touch!
Massive thanks once again to Craig from Furtography for these incredible adoption images of our wee girl and your continued support of our retired greyhounds
Brownie (Smash What) is a naturally shy boy who can be discerning with whom he gives his attention to until he works out who you are. Brownie was happy to greet his foster sister (another greyhound) and really enjoyed their first walk together. Don't let his bashful nature put you off, underneath it there is a truly wonderful boy who will blossom into a wonderful pet.
Further updates will be given once he has settled into his foster home.
Our beautiful Brownie (Smash What) has taken to pet life like a duck to water with his foster sister.
Our special boy is still looking for his forever home, he's not the most confident lad but has a heart as big as the world! When he trusts you he is incredibly affectionate and loving
Brownie would enjoy a:
Quieter home
Maybe a confident four legged ladyfriend to enjoy a good stroll through the park
A nice comfy sofa with a freshly laundered mink blanket if you please
Finn (Taieri Finn
When Finn (Taieri Finn) was born they broke the mold. She is a delightful 5 year old girl with the kindest personality!
Finn is as cool as a cucumber, she has wonderful lead manners and is very responsive to her handlers. She enjoys getting out and about and has had a lot of experience at events and outings with her trainer and is polite and social with other dogs and the public.
She is very affectionate (she loves people) and has a warm and engaging personality. Finn does know what she likes and can be a bit cheeky - but again she responds very well to verbal direction from her handlers.
Her housekeeping skills are excellent, she keeps her bedding nice and clean and she gets great enjoyment from her teddies both to cuddle with and to play - she also enjoys enrichment toys - something to keep her brain active - she is as smart as a whip!
Finn would make a wonderful companion for another dog of the same size/energy levels, but we feel if she was to be an only child that would suit her well too.
As wonderful as Finn is she is NOT suited to a home with cats.
If you would like to offer a Finn a wonderful retirement home (or another of our equally awesome greyhounds) please fill out the Adoption Questionnaire and the team will be in touch.
Atlas (Book Of Maps) is a lovely, fun young man! He is 2 years old he is confident within himself and has a happy go lucky, lively and fun personality.
He is incredibly social and outgoing and every day is 'the greatest day of his life' like most young dogs he can be a little silly, we anticipate this will settle as he settles into foster and in turn his forever home.
Atlas loves kids and is incredibly affectionate to all humans, we feel he would be better suited to a home with older kids that won't be affected by his playful, outgoing personality. He has shown he can settle nicely with his much loved teddy bear 'Jack' and enjoys cuddling up with Jack when it's time for snoozes.
He enjoys the company of other dogs very much and will 'mirror' their behaviors, as such he would make a wonderful and loving companion for an existing dog of similar size/energy levels. If he was however to be an only child, it may be preferable if there was someone home at least part of the time.
It gets even better Atlas IS assessed as cat trainable. The cat will need to be confident and not put off or spooked by his playful nature and show him who's the boss.
If you would like to add Atlas (or another of our equally awesome greyhounds) to your family please fill out the Adoption Questionnaire at and the team will be in touch!
