My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Roxy is a beautiful black greyhound with a big heart and an even bigger
personality. Affectionate, friendly, and social, she thrives on positive interactions
and always seeks out engagement with her humans. Confident and happy, Roxy
loves to play with toys and show off her playful side.
While she’s not suitable for homes with small dogs, Roxy’s warmth, charm, and
zest for life make her a delightful companion for the right family.

Their adoption process

1.

Submit Application

Start by completing an application and one of our adoption reps will reach out to you, answer questions and get the process started.

2.

Interview

This is not a test! Our interviews are conversations to learn more about you, your lifestyle and answer any questions.

3.

Home Check

Whether done in person or virtually, the purpose of the home check is to help greyhound proof your home.

4.

Approve Application

Once your application is complete, we'll share the available greyhounds and together determine which dog would be the best fit.

5.

Sign Adoption Contract

The finish line---sign the adoption agreement, pay the adoption fee and begin the "happily ever after".

Additional adoption info

In New South Wales, the greyhounds live with the owners, not in a crate at the track. With input of the dog's owner and evaluations done by professional trainers, we know a lot about the greyhound. The dogs are assessed, tested for prey drive (good with cats? good with small dogs?) and if the owner had children, the ages of the children are provided.

The dogs are vaccinated, desexed and evaluated by a vet at intake and again days before flight. The Aussie Mates in the States team completes the necessary import paperwork, coordinates flight information and make sure the dogs are cared for every step of the way of their journey.

More about this rescue

Since Mach 2024, we have welcomed over 160 greyhounds from the Aussie Mates in the States rehoming program located in Sydney, New South Wales.

Greyhound Welfare is first and foremost when racing in New South Wales. In fact, the organization funds a domestic and international rehoming program to assist with finding retired racers a forever home.

Combine with our many years of experience with placing US greyhound and the care and commitment of the Aussie's Mates in the State team, you'll adopt a wonderful greyhound with ongoing support.
