Welcome to Greyhound Adoption Program NSW
The Greyhound Adoption Program (NSW), Inc. is a non-profit organisation, incorporated with the NSW Department of Fair Trading, which is dedicated to the welfare of Greyhounds. We are also a charity. Our primary purpose is to educate the public on the benefits and care of Greyhounds as companion animals, and to find permanent loving homes for these beautiful hounds. We rely on memberships and donations for our funding and do not accept Greyhound Racing industry funds. On this site, you can:

Greyhound of the Week - Winter
She is generally a very relaxed and well behaved girl inside the home but nervous in unfamiliar surroundings outdoors. Winter will require a patient, understanding owner with sighthound experience, who can guide her through the transition into a happy pet life. Her ideal home would be with a single adult or older couple with no children or noisy teenagers. She must be an indoor dog and have human company for a fair part of the day. The presence of another gentle, calm, large-breed dog (ideally another Greyhound) would help to give her the confidence she needs. Not suited to busy suburban or high traffic areas – Winter is currently only comfortable walking on lead in open parks or bushland away from unfamiliar people or noises. Winter is a sweet girl just waiting to blossom in the right home.

All Greyhounds registered on the Companion Animals Register are no longer required to wear muzzles, except in an off-leash park. Greyhounds who have passed their Greenhounds muzzle exemption assessment need not be muzzled in an off-leash area.
Please read these links carefully so that you are properly informed of the new regulations.
