Greyhound Adoption Program
Homeward Hounds Event – find your new best fur-iend!
Date: Saturday 20 June 2026
Time: 9:00am – 11:00am
Location: Capalaba Greyhound Racing Club, 16 Old Cleveland Road, Capalaba 4157
Come and meet the gorgeous GAP greyhounds waiting to find their forever families! These lovable pups can’t wait to shower you with cuddles and tail wags – don’t miss out on the chance to meet your new best friend!
If you find your paw-fect match at the event, there’s just one final step before your new greyhound can officially join your family. They’ll need to visit GAP Churchable for a quick final vet check and medical clearance. Don’t worry, it’s all part of making sure your new furry friend is happy and healthy before heading home with you. This process usually takes up to 10 days, and then your new best mate will be ready to start their next chapter with you!
If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Greyhound adoptions
Ready to find your new best friend? Here’s how you can make the most of the day.
Pre-matched meet and greets:
1. Complete our online adoption form before the event, telling us about your home and lifestyle. We’re keen to make sure we can find you and your family the perfect match.
2. The GAP team will review your application and match you with greyhound/s that best suit your need.
3. Then, all that's left to do is meet your potential new best friend at the event.
On the day adoptions
- Snap some photos of your backyard, access gates, and all fencing – this will help us process your application quickly on the spot.
- Come along to the event and have a chat with the friendly GAP team about your family, home and lifestyle.
- Meet some of our adorable greyhounds! If one of them steals your heart, you can complete an application right then and there.
It’s that simple, and you could be one step closer to welcoming a greyhound into your family!
Remember you’ll need photos of your backyard and fencing. We’ll help you complete the necessary paperwork on the day of the meet and greet.
If you already have a dog or cat, ‘on the day adoptions’ are not available. The GAP team must first arrange a suitable match and will schedule a meet and greet at another time so your current dog and potential adopted greyhound can meet for the first time. Unfortunately, we are unable to conduct first dog to dog meet and greets at the event. For homes with cats, greyhounds are placed in a foster-to-adopt program to ensure compatibility between the animals.
