National Black Dog Day is held annually on October 1st, highlighting the unfortunate reality that black dogs are often overlooked in shelters simply because of their colour.

For GAP NSW, this day is an opportunity to showcase our beautiful black greyhounds, who are just as loving, gentle, and loyal as their lighter-coloured counterparts. Black greyhounds are known for their striking appearance, sleek coats, and affectionate personalities, making them perfect companions.

To mark National Black Dog Day, join us on Saturday, October 5th, for a special event dedicated to these wonderful black greyhounds. You can meet them through our regional programs and at our metro adoption centre in Londonderry, Western Sydney.

Spread the word to your friends, coworkers, and family—let’s help these magical greyhounds find their forever homes.

What to expect 

Meet & Greet: Interact with 20+ adorable black greyhounds looking for loving homes!

Let the GAP team match you with the perfect black greyhound for your lifestyle and their unique personality.

🐶 Please bring other dogs in your household for a meet and greet with your potential new greyhound!

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.
