Greenhounds

Greenhounds is the program in NSW to facilitate the muzzling exemptions and breed awareness for retired racing and pet greyhounds.
(1)

Greenhounds is the sole NSW body authorised to manage and issue green collars under the Companion Animal Regulations. The Greenhound collar shows that your greyhound has earned the right to be muzzle free in designated off-leash dog areas, i.e. a) it has successfully passed an approved re-training program,
b) is microchipped, lifetime registered with council and de-sexed. Important notes:

A

Greenhound is not required to wear a muzzle when in a public place provided it is secured by a leash being held by a competent person. A Greenhound is not required to wear a muzzle or be secured by a leash when in a designated council off-leash area. However, the Greenhound must be wearing its approved collar & tag and be accompanied by a competent person. When in a designated council off-leash area the competent person is responsible for controlling the Greenhounds behaviour which includes ensuring the Greenhound is not in breach of any of the provisions of the Companion Animals Act 1998. For example, just because a dog is in a designated council off-leash area, does not mean that an offence is not committed if the dog rushes at, attacks, bites, harasses or chases any person or animal, whether or not any injury is caused. It is your responsibility as a dog owner to assess the risks and give careful consideration in determining whether to allow your Greenhound to be off-leash in a designated council off-leash area. The collar is easily identifiable by the public and council staff. To comply with the Companion Animals Act, a tag with the dog’s name and the owner’s phone number and/or address needs to be attached to the collar when in a public place. When your Greenhound collar is issued, it will include a tag engraved with the last six digits of the dog’s microchip number. For no additional cost the tag can also be engraved with the dog’s name and the owner’s phone number if requested.

🐾💛 Happy Adopter Tails 🐾💛
Abby & Frankie + Tash & Piccolo

POV: When you adopt a greyhound with a friend!

“As we drew closer to being ready to adopt, I caught up with Tash and told her all about what a great breed greyhounds would be for both of us! After hardly any convincing, we both submitted our interest to GAP.

The process was incredibly smooth and everyone we spoke to from GAP was very professional, knowledgeable and helpful.

So with that, a week later myself & my partner, as well as Tash & her partner, did a joint meet & greet with our prospective pups! We fell instantly in love with Frankie and immediately knew she was the one for us!

From that day forward our gorgeous pups have been best friends, from daily walks together to their first beach swims, road trips to QLD and so much more".
