Adopt a Greyhound programme - The fastest friend you'll ever make

We are the South Island base for the Greyhounds as Pets (GAP) programme, an independent charitable trust established by Greyhound Racing New Zealand to find loving homes for retired greyhounds.

A Country Home takes on greyhounds after their retirement and we prepare animals for adoption into homes, matching up the right home with the right animal, with support for new greyhound owners 24-7 available.
