Thousands of New Zealand families have welcomed a greyhound, or even two, into their homes and discovered a loyal new best friend. Some of these greyhounds will be spending time at the Christchurch A&P Show, and we'd love people to stop by, meet them, and see what all the fuss is about.

Like any dog, greyhounds have their own unique personalities and quirks, but they're often known for being calm, gentle, affectionate, and easy-going companions. While they may be champion athletes on the track, they're also champion loungers at home. A couple of short walks each day, some playtime, and they're usually more than happy to spend the rest of the day snoozing.

Come and chat with our adoption agency partners, Greyhounds As Pets, May Hounds and Nightrave, to meet some wonderful greyhounds and learn more about adoption. You might just discover why so many New Zealanders have fallen in love with these special dogs
