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:

Greyhounds of the Month - Bonnie and Pip
Bonnie & Pip are a bonded pair, having lived together as pets for the past three years. Sadly their owner passed away in September. We would like them to find a forever home together. They are great with the elderly - they love to lay near my mum almost like they are making sure she is ok. The kids, well, they just love the kids and the kids love them. The girls walk really well together and easy to walk if there is only one person. They don’t pull and don’t react when they see other dogs. We came across a rabbit on the street yesterday when we were walking them and a bush turkey the first day. Their ears pricked and they showed a lot of interest but they did not pull and walked on nicely when asked. The girls are both very polite and easy to feed. You do need to ask them to wait while you finish putting their food out but they stand back until you say ok munch. They are both great at going up and down stairs on walks. GAP welcomes Boehringer Ingelheim as our sponsor

Greenhounds Muzzle RegulationsOn 1 July 2019 the regulations regarding the muzzling of pet Greyhounds was altered.
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.
