Greyhounds for adoption

Temporary Pause: Applications for Homes with Cats

We are thrilled for your interest, but we have made the tough decision to temporarily pause accepting applications from homes with existing cats while we work through our current waiting list.

Thank you for your patience and understanding—we'll reopen applications as soon as possible!

Below are some Greyhounds we currently have in foster care.

We may have other Greyhounds not listed below that are waiting to join us, so we encourage you to fill in an Adoption Application found under ‘What We Do – Adoption’ and we will be in touch.

Ollie

(Suffice)
4.5 year
Not cat trainable
Ready for adoption
Auckland
Ollie is a fun, smart and happy boy. He loves to travel and is great on his walks or adventures. A quick learner, he is a real giver. Great with children, although as he is a big boy, those over 8 would be best. He loves nothing more than to smooch and groom session. Ollie sustained a race day injury but he is in great health and nothing stops him loving life. Ollie can live as an only hound or with a compatible female.
Oana

(Oana Bale)
5 year old
Not cat trainable

People loving, confident and a great all around girl. Oana is a smart girl who has had extra top notch training whilst in foster care and we can safely say is the most well trained hound we've ever had! She is calm and gentle with playful and cuddly sides. Oana is an absolute delight.
Magic

Not cat trainable

Sweet and Sassy! Sassy has a cheeky, playful side and is a girl who knows her own mind. She will happily live as an only dog and be the queen of her relm but could live with a calm independent male hound. Sassy is learning about urban living and making good progress. She'd love a quieter household with a garden to zoom around.

Ricky

ADOPTION PENDING
(unraced)
4 year old
Not cat trainable
Currently in foster
Auckland
A beautiful, happy boy with a sunny personality! Ricky is happiest with his people, heading out for walks and relaxing in front of the tv! He has a playful streak and loves the car so any opportunity to go for a ride and he's at the front of the line. Ricky is getting used to the sounds of busy urban settling so a little patience is required as he becomes more confident. A trusty four legged companion by his side gives him a great boost!
Indy

ADOPTION PENDING
(Millie's Choice)
3.5 year old
Not cat trainable
Currenty in foster
Auckland
Indi is a very special dog. She loves all people big and small. She is definitely more of a person’s dog than a dog’s dog, she loves being with her people and loves an active household, she is not too fussed on other dogs and would be happy to be an only dog. She doesn’t like being left alone for too long and is not the biggest fan of being left in small places but is happy to be left in a big crate for a couple of hours. She loves all food and all toys!

Cat trainability to be updated
Currently in foster
Christchurch

Ben is a cool, calm and cruisy boy with an easy-going nature and a real desire to please his people. He is affectionate, loves being close to his humans, and has a gentle, calming presence around the home. A cuddle monster and blanket lover, Ben enjoys his creature comforts and greets every walk with an adorable happy dance. He also enjoys the company of the other greyhound in his foster home and happily shares his space with a canine companion. One of Ben's favourite hobbies is supervising the cooking! He is perfectly happy to lie just outside the kitchen, keeping a watchful eye on proceedings and making sure everything is running smoothly.

7.5 year old
Not cat trainable
Ready for adoption
South island

Marley is a calm, affectionate boy with a lovely, quiet nature and a wonderful balance of independence and affection. He is happy to settle quietly on his own, but also loves spending time with his people and receiving attention. Once he gets to know you, Marley forms a strong bond and is a loyal, rewarding companion. He enjoys a predictable routine and the comforts of home, and would suit a calm, confident household. Marley could live with a large-breed female or a calm, submissive male who is happy to share their space with him.

Not cat trainable
Currently in foster
Ashburton

Tails is a big smoother with an equally big heart and plenty of affection to share. He loves his people and is always happy to lean in for cuddles and attention. He has settled well into foster life with a female greyhound and enjoys his regular walks with other greyhounds. Tails is a bright, food-motivated boy who enjoys training, enrichment and playtime, with squeaky toys being a particular favourite. He is also quite happy to spend his day relaxing in the sunshine. Tails would suit a confident owner and a home where someone is around for at least part of the day.
Pecan

6 year old
Not cat trainable
Currently in foster
Christchurch
Pecan is a very sweet, gentle boy with a soft and sensitive nature. He can be shy with new people and unfamiliar environments, taking his time to feel safe and comfortable. Once he trusts you, he bonds deeply and has a lovely affectionate side. He thrives with routine, calm surroundings and the company of other greyhounds. Pecan has only just entered foster care, so we are giving him time to settle and get to know his foster family before he is ready for his forever home.
Tipsy

2 year old
Cat trainable
Currently in foster
Christchurch

Tipsy is a friendly, social boy who enjoys the company of both people and other dogs. He has only just arrived in foster care and is still getting used to the sights, sounds and routines of a home, so we are giving him time to settle in and show us his personality. He is already proving to be a lovely, social boy, and we look forward to getting to know him better. Tipsy is not quite ready for rehoming yet, but we’ll update his profile as we learn more about this lovely boy.
Kora

Rising 4 year old
Currently in foster
Cromwell

Kora is a petite wee girl with a lovely social nature and a real eagerness to please. She has shown herself to be a super-fast learner in foster care, thanks to her intelligence, love of treats and desire to do the right thing. Kora is friendly with both people and other dogs, and is currently enjoying life with two canine companions in her Cromwell foster home. She is playful, a great traveller and walks beautifully on the lead without pulling. This sweet, clever girl is sure to be a wonderful companion for her lucky family.
