Adopt a Greyhound
Ellie - Ready for Adoption Soon
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

Jill
Female | 5 years old | 25kg | Foster or Foster to Adopt
Hi, I’m Jill! 💙
I’m a lovely 5-year-old girl looking for a foster home or, even better, my forever home through our Foster to Adopt program.
I’m friendly, very chilled and I enjoy having a bit of a play. I have a lovely easy-going nature and would love the chance to leave the kennels and start learning what life as a much-loved family dog is all about.
Right now, I’m still waiting in kennels for someone to give me that chance.
Could you be Jill’s person?
Jill needs a home where she can settle in, get comfortable and enjoy all the simple things that come with being a greyhound companion.
Jill is looking for:
🐾 A foster or foster-to-adopt home
🐾 A family ready to give her time to settle in
🐾 A safe, secure yard
🐾 Someone who will enjoy plenty of walks, play and cuddles
🐾 A chance to experience life outside the kennel
Jill is ready for her next chapter. Could you help her get there?
Female | 2.5 years old | Black
Hi! I'm Ellie. 👋
I've only just arrived in foster care, so everything is still a little bit new to me.
Every day I'm becoming a little more confident as I discover what life in a home is all about. There are so many new experiences waiting for me, and I'm taking them all one step at a time.
Here's what I'm looking for...
🏡 A loving home where I can continue building my confidence.
🛏️ A nice comfy bed (I've already discovered how wonderful they are!).
🧸 A few toys to help me learn that playing can be lots of fun.
🧥 A warm coat for those chilly mornings.
❤️ A family who will be patient while I settle in and discover just how wonderful pet life can be.
What can I offer you?
💙 I'll celebrate the little milestones with you as I grow in confidence.
🐾 You'll get to watch me discover new things and see my personality blossom.
😊 I'll be a loyal companion who simply wants to be part of your family.
Right now I'm still learning all about home life, but every day I'm becoming a little more relaxed and a little more curious about the world around me.
My foster carer says I'm already enjoying my cosy bed, staying warm under my blanket and beginning to show an interest in toys. I have a feeling there are many more discoveries still to come.
If you're looking for a beautiful young greyhound to share life's adventures with, I'd love to meet you.
Love,
Ellie 💙

Duke - Ready for Adoption Soon
Male | 2 years old | 29kg | Brindle
Duke is a big, handsome brindle boy ready to begin the next chapter of his life as a family companion.
With his soft and gentle nature, Duke is looking for a foster-to-adopt home where he can settle into everyday life and experience all the things that come with being part of a family.
Having not lived as a pet before, Duke will need a patient home willing to guide him through all the “firsts” — from learning household routines to discovering toys, walks and relaxing on the couch. Greyhounds adapt beautifully with consistency, kindness and routine, and Duke has all the makings of a wonderful companion.
As we are currently short on foster carers, Duke is available through our foster-to-adopt pathway. This allows him to move straight into a home while we support both Duke and his potential adopter through the transition.

Could you be Gus’s person?
Gus would love a home where he can settle into a routine, enjoy some walks, plenty of comfortable beds and all the attention that comes with being part of a family.
Gus is looking for:
🐾 A foster or foster-to-adopt home
🐾 A safe, secure yard
🐾 A family ready to help him settle into home life

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.
Why Greyhounds?
Greyhounds are known for being easy to live with.
💙 Generally calm indoors
💙 Low exercise requirements
💙 Adapt well to routine
