Greyhound National Adoption Day is back this Sunday 23rd April!

National Greyhound Adoption Day at Moore Park | The biggest NAGD ever, with 40 Greyhounds looking for homes. 

What goes from 0 to 40km in three strides, has a long snoot and will love you for life? Greyhounds, of course! And you can meet and adopt one as part of National Greyhound Adoption Day.

Over 40 dogs will be available to meet, adopt or foster. Each with a unique look, and loving and entertaining personality, this day is a dream come true for those wanting to invite one of these perfect pets into their lives.

Many people are unaware of how incredible greyhounds are as family pets: friendly, affectionate, calm, clean, loving, trusting and good-natured, so this is your chance to add that perfect addition to your family.

We will also have experts to answer your burning questions, take you through the adoption process, and explain how we can match you with your paw-fect pet.

Whether you have children, live alone, work full-time, stay at home or are looking for a companion,  there is a greyhound that would fit your lifestyle.

Greyhound Adoption Days

The best chance to get to know your new best friend. Our dog adoption days let you meet all types of greyhounds with unique personalities. We promise that you’ll fall in love with at least one special friend following a session of patting, cuddling and scratching at a pet adoption day. Learn everything that you need to know about the adoption journey and get a feel for which pet might be the best fit for your family.

We place greyhounds in homes based on their personality so everyone gets a perfect match. Feel free to ask away and our friendly team will answer all of your questions. A dog adoption day with Greyhounds As Pets is the first step towards bringing a four-legged friend into your life.

Pre-Assessment Days

We hold pre-assessment days that will determine whether your greyhounds are suitable for life as a pet and entry into the GAP program . To be eligible, we’ll ask for proof of C5 vaccinations and at least a 4 week let down period after their last race/trial. A general details form will also need to be completed and returned to us before confirming any future appointments.

Please contact our team for further information on booking a pre-assessing session.
