Adopt your own greyhound

Greyhounds are awesome pets for many families. Short-haired, low-exercise, usually silent, and happy to sleep for long periods while the family are out - these are just some of the traits that make them popular pets.

Most greyhounds are good with children, and many can be trained to live with other pets including cats.

Ex-racing greyhounds are not "rescues", most have been lovingly cared for during their racing career. However many need homes when they finish racing and have many years of love to give to their new family.

Greyhounds of all ages are available for adoption from Nightrave, from some other agencies and sometimes direct from their trainers. When you adopt a dog from Nightrave, you know that your new pet has learned some basic skills by attending classes at the Feilding Dog Training Club, and has been living indoors in the house and learning about pet life. All greyhounds from Nightrave are desexed, health checked, wormed, fleaed, microchipped and registered.

Greyhounds need a warm, comfy bed to sleep on, need coats in the wintertime, and need lots of love. If you think a greyhound might be right for you, contact us today! Cost: The cost to adopt a greyhound from Nightrave is $380.00. This includes a free collar, leash and muzzle. Older dogs, or dogs with additional needs have a lower adoption fee. Ready to adopt?

Rod      6 years      No cats

Rod (Opawa Rod)

You will need to be prepared to give him structure and routine to help him settle and in return he will give you his whole heart. He is house trained and crate trained.

Yogi      9 years      No cats

Yogi (Don Morocco)

Our lovely Yogi bear just wants to be your best guy. Yogi is house trained and crate trained. He would do well with a calm, settled bitch to show him the ropes, but he's not a desperately social dog: he prefers the company of humans. He can be anxious in a new place without someone to help him settle, which translates to barky and pacey- he's not at all fearful. He is happy to meet or ignore small dogs out and about, and stock etc, but really enjoys a calm environment, with people to love him. He is absolutely not into the nightclub scene (ie dogparks). He likes kids, but he is quite big and can be pushy so would be better in a home with older kids.

Aslan      7 years      No cats

Aslan

Aslan is a very special boy. He is great with other dogs, in fact he tells me he would love a home where he had a companion if he was going to be home alone for any length of time. He has been socialised with children but as he can get a bit bouncy when excited older children would be more suitable. He loves going on adventures and getting out and about. Unfortunately he does have a (non-racing) injury and although he has a full clearance from the fantastic team at Animal Orthopaedics he does have his limitations that will need to be discussed with his family. For this reason he has a reduced adoption fee.
