Adopt a Greyhound
Adopting a greyhound is simpler than most people expect.
They settle into home life quickly, are generally calm and fit well into many households.
At Greys 2nd Chance, we place greyhounds into foster homes first so we understand their behaviour, routine and what type of home will suit them best. This helps us match each dog with the right adopter.
💙 Foster-assessed before adoption
💙 Matched to your lifestyle
💙 Ongoing support available
Available Greyhounds
Onslow - Available for Adoption
Male - 3 years old, 36 kg
At 36kg, Onslow may look like a giant… but he is really just a big old teddy bear who wants nothing more than snuggles
He’s been settling into foster life beautifully and we’re starting to see more of his personality shine:
-
Loves a cuddle (and will remind you… with a wet nose tap in the middle of the night)
-
Has great recall
-
Very clever… figured out stairs in 24 hours!
-
Also a bit of a smarty pants when it comes to kitchen benches
He’s learning, exploring and enjoying all the comforts of home life… and doing it in his own big, lovable way.
And despite his size, he is all heart. If you’ve ever dreamed of a big, affectionate, slightly cheeky companion, Onslow might just be your boy.
Shyla - Available for Adoption
Female - 2 years old, 26 kg
Shyla is a shy, gentle girl who is still learning about life outside of racing. She has not been in foster care for long and is slowly gaining confidence. She will suit a patient home that can give her time, understanding and love.
Prince - Foster to Adopt
Male - 4 years old, 28 kg
Prince is waiting to come into foster care and is available through our foster-to-adopt program. This is a great opportunity to support his transition into home life while getting to know him.
Bandit - Foster to Adopt
Male - 2 years old, 36 kg
Bandit is a big, beautiful boy looking for a foster-to-adopt home. As we currently don’t have available foster carers, this pathway allows him to move straight into a home where he can begin adjusting to family life.
Duke - Foster to Adopt
Male - 2 years old, 29 kg
Duke is a big, beautiful brindle boy looking for a foster-to-adopt home. As we currently don’t have available foster carers, this pathway allows him to move straight into a home where he can begin adjusting to family life.

Ellie is a beautiful girl looking for a foster-to-adopt home. As we currently don’t have available foster carers, this pathway allows her to move straight into a home where she can begin adjusting to family life.
How Adoption Works

We guide you through each step and are available if you need support.
Foster to Adopt - What it Means
Some of our greyhounds are listed as Foster to Adopt.
This means they are still waiting to enter foster care, and we are looking for a home that can support them during this transition.
You’ll receive guidance and support from our team while the dog settles into home life, with the goal of moving to full adoption.
