Why do I have to fill out an application form?
An application form helps us to assess your property for suitability for a Greyhound. We look for the size and security of your property.
The application form helps to start a conversation about your home and what personality traits you are looking for.
This also helps us to verify that you are a genuine person looking to adopt. We have been contacted by profiles with fake names and details, who wish to disrupt the process of athletes retiring from their racing career.
All details are kept confidential and are only forwarded to the Queensland Racing Integrity Commission after the adoption is successful.

What if the adoption does not work out?
The Queensland Greyhound Local rules state that you have the right to return the Greyhound within the first 28 days.

LR11A(3) Where a greyhound is privately rehomed directly to an appropriate third-party person as a pet, the person responsible for the greyhound at the relevant time must accept the return
of the greyhound from the third-party person within 28 days from the date of transfer of
custody of the greyhound, provided that the greyhound is returned in the state in which it
was rehomed.

Why do I have to provide all my personal details when I want to give a Greyhound a loving home?
GAR34 Requirements in relation to notification of control and location of a greyhound (including as a result of a greyhound having its ownership transferred)
GAR34 (5)(a) A registered person must as soon as possible notify a Controlling Body that a greyhound has come into, or left, the person’s care or custody (and in each of those cases including as a result of a greyhound having its ownership transferred)

Greyhounds must be desexed before being retired to a member of the public.
GAR 24 Mandatory Sterilisation of Greyhounds retired as pets.
(1) Unless a greyhound is being accepted by an adoption agency approved by a Controlling body that undertakes sterilisation, the owner or person responsible for the greyhound at the time of such retirement as a pet must ensure that the greyhound has been surgically sterilised by a veterinarian before allowing the greyhound to leave their care and custody, except where a veterinarian certifies after examining that greyhound, to the satisfaction of a controlling body, that being surgically sterilised would be detrimental to its welfare. 
(2) In submitting the required notification prescribed by rule 22(1)(a), a certificate of sterilisation by a veterinarian must be supplied for any retired greyhound to which this rule applies.
