Adoption applications are now open for Marley.
Marley is the sweetest young man you are ever likely to meet, with a gentle nature and a soft heart to match. He can be a little shy when first meeting new people or settling into a new place, but once he decides you are good people, he will turn into your loyal little shadow, following you about and making sure he is available for every bit of affection going.
He also has a delightful young-dog streak, which means that every now and then the zoomies arrive and all sensible thoughts leave the building. For this reason, Marley would love a home with a decent yard where he can stretch his legs, have a run, and enjoy his occasional bursts of chaos in peace.
Marley is a sensitive boy who is still learning about the world, so a quieter home in a peaceful area would suit him best. He would be happiest in a home with teenagers and as the only dog, where he can settle in without too much going on around him.
When it comes to other dogs, Marley is very much a fan of personal space. He is not especially keen on long, lingering sniffs and would rather not feel cornered into social situations he did not sign up for. In true Marley fashion, he would much prefer to politely keep his bubble intact and carry on with his day.
If you are looking for a sweet, sensitive companion with a loving nature, a touch of goofiness and a talent for becoming your full-time shadow, Marley could be your perfect match.

If you are interested in adopting Marley, submit an adoption application form and our adoption officer will contact you to discuss your family's requirements and match you with the right GAP greyhound for you. More information is available on the adoption process.
Greyhounds can be at different stages in their development as they transition to pet life. The greyhound that is perfect for your family might take some time to match.
Our greyhounds are not all tested with cats, livestock, or poultry. If you have a home with these, please contact us and we will match you with the right greyhound for your circumstances.
