Manawatu
Seve (Seve)
Seve is a big goof who would like a family who are home most of the time. He could live with a greyhound bitch or other large breed, calm, steady bitch. He's quite strong so suited for a family with older children.
Adoption fee: $380.00
Pascale (Pascale Jewel)
Pascale is incredibly loving, bouncy, and playful. Both also have a shy or slightly anxious side. Both are super social with other greyhounds. Pascale is social with all dogs except very tiny ones, but she has also learned to be leash reactive. She would do best in a home with another calm dog who she can follow. And of course, she needs lots and lots of love.
Adoption fee: $380.00
Rifle (Big Time Rifle)
Rifle is a toy addict! This awesome guy is 5 years old, very affectionate, and calm and gentle - except when he's playing! Rifle shouldn't live with small kids due to his high toy drive, and can only live with dogs who dont care about toys - because ALL toys belong to Rifle! He is great on the leash and super social with other dogs of all sizes. He is not social with cats or poultry (and would really like the ducks at the duckpond for a snack!) He is highly trainable and enjoys dog training class.
Adoption fee: $280.00
Liam (Idol Liam)
Beautiful Liam is a perfect family dog! He can even be trained to live with a confident cat. Could he be the man for you?
Adoption fee: $380.00
Ted (Ted Jewel)
Big bouncy playful Ted wants to be your best friend! He would like another dog to play with, although he is wonderful with dogs of all sizes due to his own size his ideal BFF would be of a medium-large breed. He is a little more energetic than your average greyhound. Ted needs a settled routine, exercise and lots of love and will be the perfect pet.
Adoption fee: $380.00
Oden (Gain Capital)
Oden is 7 years old, super affectionate and friendly, absolutely loves living in my pack with other greyhounds, and super with all other dogs. He is confident out and about and a pleasure to take for a walk. He has poor vision in low light, and is inclined to be snappish if he thinks you are trying to get him off his bed, so a sensible home with no small children. Also no cats! Oden is inclined to separation anxiety, so someone at home or ideally another dog to follow is the best. He is house trained and crate trained.
Adoption fee: $280.00
Kayla (Cool Run)
Kayla is so playful and sweet. She has receovered from an injury so no dog parks for this girl. She would like people who are home most of the time, or perhaps a medium size calm dog for company. She loves her toys, snuggles and humans. Could she be the one for you?
Adoption fee: $280.00
Harper (Made A Wish)
Harper is a beautiful, confident, cheeky girl. She is currently in foster in Wellington and learning all about pet life. She did injure a leg on the track but has been fully rehabilitated. She shoujld stay out of busy dog parks but otherwise can run and play in her own back yard with no issues. Harper could live with another calm dog or as an only dog.
Adoption fee: $280.00
Red (Homebush Red)
Red (Homebush Red) is an absolutely fabulous dog. At 4 years old he is ready for his forever home. A big gentle, snuggle bug Red loves nothing more than sidling up to his people for a pat and cuddle. Red would like a home with people around for a good part of the day or a female canine companion. He would absolutely love to be your best buddy and work colleague if you work from home! Red is great with dogs medium size and up. Red has had a past kennel injury resulting in him having two toes removed. It means that whilst Red loves his walks, he is never going to be a big hiker. Get in touch if this beautiful boy could be the one for you.
Adoption fee: $380.00
Rod (Opawa Rod)
Big boy Rod is hoping for a calm family to be his whole world. He gets quite anxious when he's not sure what to expect so living with a calm, bossy bitch of a larger breed would be ideal for his confidence. He can live with dogs of any size, and loves kids, but due to his size will do best with tweens and up. 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.
Adoption fee: $280.00
Sharkie (Ozzie)
Loving calm Sharkie would like a family who are home most of the time. He could live with a calm bitch of any breed. He is currently in foster learning all about pet life. He has been rehabbed from a leg injury so no dog parks allowed for this lovely boy.
Adoption fee: $280.00
Sammy
Sammy is sweet and shy. He is only partially sighted, although sees well enough to get around. He does not have a degenerative condition and does not require medication. He is uncertain of the big scary world and needs a quiet home, perhaps with a calm older bitch of a medium-large breed. He is scared of zippy dogs. Gentle people with lots of love - Sammy is your man. Once he is confident he is cheeky and playful and will keep you laughing.
Adoption fee: $50.00
Billy (Black Eye Bill)
Billy is 8 years old, and is an experienced pet. He had to leave his family due to an autistic child who started picking on him. He does love kids, and has been used to living with another male greyhound. He would love another greyhound of either sex to hang out with. Billy is food focused and trainable, calm and likes to snooze. He is friendly with small dogs and can run around with mine, but has been known to be leash reactive to snappy little yappers (who can blame him). Billy is house trained and crate trained and needs a couch for Christmas. How about yours?
Adoption fee: $280.00
Gunna (Go Gunna)
Gunna is 8 years old, enjoys food and love, and is an experienced pet. He had to leave his family due to finding small busy toddlers a bit much. He does love kids, including little ones, but as he gets older he would like a quieter home with adults or older children who respect his space and maybe scream less! Gunna still loves going for walks and has lots of love to give. Gunna could live with another calm bitch or as an only dog.
Adoption fee: $280.00
Central Hawkes Bay
Nero (Homebush Caesar)
Nero is a super big bouncy boy️. He is 6 years old and cant wait to be your best buddy. He is confident and happy, and loves to be with his people. He is quite a smoocher, and although a lovebug, he definitely knows his own mind and needs some boundaries. Because he's quite big and strong he will be better with older children. Nero is dog social but may be a bit full on for little dogs.
Adoption fee: $380.00
Cheeky
Cheeky would quite like another dog to play with as she is very playful, but a medium size dog with a calm temperament would be her ideal playmate.
Adoption fee: $380.00
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.
Adoption fee: $280.00
Wynter
Wynter is a 6 year old girl who knows her own mind. She is social with all dogs as long as they know their place and mind their manners! She would be best suited as an only dog or with a gentle male dog. She would prefer to have company at least while she is settling in.
Adoption fee: $380.00
Jordan (Bad Movies)
Jordan has been a pet before but due to some anxiety issues his family found they couldn't keep him. Jordan has some additional needs but he is a wonderful, confident boy with perfect leash manners. He likes kids, loves to play ball, and is confident and friendly out and about with all dogs. Jordan cant live with cats, and needs regular crate time each day. He would enjoy living with a doggie friend. He is house trained and crate trained and needs you to be a loving and firm leader for him in his life.
Adoption fee: $280.00
Christchurch
Keegan (Goldstar Keegan)
Keegan (Goldstar Keegan) is a lovely 2 1/2 year old boy who decided after one race the sofa is where he wants to be. Small dog social, cat trainable and a little bit shy initially, he is sweet and cuddly once he warms up. Keegan would like a home with kids 8 plus and someone with patience to help him adjust to pet life.
Adoption fee: $380.00
Nugget (Know Nugget)
Nugget (Know Nugget) is a loving little girl of 5 years old. Happy and confident she is sociable with dogs of all sizes. Nugget would could live with other dogs or on her own and would be happy to stay home whilst her people work.
Adoption fee: $380.00
Wallace (Opawa Wallace)
Wallace (Opawa Wallace) is the epitome of a big gentle Greyhound giant. This absolutely lovely boy is a true gem gentle and kind. He loves a good pat but isn’t a demanding in your face kind of boy. He is currently in foster care with another greyhound, a cat and kids and is a cruisy dude. Wallace is sociable with dogs of all sizes and cat trainable. He is good with children but given his size we would prefer a home with kids 8 plus. Wallace would slot well into most homes. Wallace could live as an only dog or with other dogs and cats. He will be ok home alone whilst his people are at work.
Adoption fee: $380.00
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.
Adoption fee: $180.00
Barclay
Barclay loves to play, is really good with other dogs but can get a little demanding if they have had enough play time and he wants to keep going, he has impeccable manners on lead, and great recall in his safe space. He loves his people. Barclay does know how to push boundaries so thrives on routine. He is super trainable and food motivated! He is 6 years old. Barclay is an experienced pet, and although he likes kids, he needs his own space so no small children.
Adoption fee: $280.00
Picton
Penn (Goldstar Penn)
Penn is energetic and loving and would like a nice backyard to lay around in! He gets on with other dogs and would be happy to share his home with a friend. Could he be the boy for you?
Adoption fee: $380.00
Sharon (Goldstar Sharon)
Sharon is a shy little girl, cat trainable and quite gentle, who will need a quieter home. She may do well with a gentle dog to follow.
Adoption fee: $380.00
