Greyhound Racing New Zealand 'Greatmates' Rehoming Kennel in Cambridge, Waikato, New Zealand. Please check out our 'Greatmates-Levin' page too.

The Great Mates Rehoming Programme is dedicated to rehoming more greyhounds by providing full assessments, training, grooming, vet care and de-sexing, to fully prepare each retired racing greyhound in New Zealand for a new life as a pet. We want to give every dog the best chance of being successfully rehomed. Therefore, every dog that enters the GRNZ Great Mates Rehoming Programme will be assessed

not as a 'pass' or 'fail' but assessed in what areas they need extra training, to adjust to life as a pet. We are dedicated to making sure we are fair, consistent and successful in rehoming more retired greyhounds across the country. We have also established excellent partnerships with the following rehoming organizations: Greyhounds as Pets (GAP), May Hounds, Nightrave Greyhounds, and KiwiKiwi Hounds. Once each dog is ready for their new life as a pet, these agencies will perfectly match up a dog with a suitable family and continue supporting them after they have found their forever home. Greyhounds are wonderful to have as pets. They are loving, loyal, well-trained and easy-going dogs. They deserve a great retirement after their racing career ends, and we will make sure they get it!

Have u ever wanted to adopt a beautiful greyhound but didn’t because you had a cat
Well that isnt an issue because this beautiful girl is cat trainable

Her name is Bella she didn’t race because she didn’t want to
She is red fawn and 2 and a half years old

She loves other greyhounds and gets on fine with other breeds

She is scared of cats and prefers to avoid then

She loves going for walks

She LOVES food which will make further training with her very easy

She can be a little shy meeting new people but once she feels comfortable she is an absolute cuddle monster

If u would like to meet our beautiful Bella please message us through this page 🩷🩷

How cute is this

This gorgeous big black lad is our Andy (Marray Prince)
He’s been patiently waiting for his forever family for awhile now
He’s 5 and a half years old
He’s a big boy just like a big cuddly bear
He walks beautifully on lead loves his food
His teeth are stained (we think possibly from a supplement he may have had when he was younger) they look more grey than pearly white
He loves other greys and other breeds
He would suit a home with just adults or with teenagers
Little kiddo’s might be a bit much
If u think u could be the right fit for Andy please get in touch 🩷
