Welcome to IWaG!
Greyhound Adoption, Education and Support, Queensland.
I Want A Greyhound (IWaG) Inc. is a registered not-for-profit greyhound rehoming, education and support charity.
The founders, members, volunteers and supporters of IWaG are passionate about greyhound welfare. As well as rehoming, we believe it is important to educate the wider community about greyhound welfare by building a strong, supportive greyhound-loving community and network of partners.

Cindy
Hound of the Month
Cindy is an affectionate girl who can turn an ordinary day into something great. She is delightfully funny, and the perfect balance of beauty, beans and brains. In foster care, Cindy has mastered the basics of pet life, including toilet training and can be left on her own with no drama whilst you’re out. Cindy thrives on routine, especially around mealtimes, and one of her sweetest little rituals is carrying her bowl to bed when she thinks second dinner should be served. Cindy’s love language is toys, so keep the toy basket full. She’ll happily entertain herself playing, often flinging toys up into the air and pouncing on them. Equally enthusiastic about walks, as she is about puzzle toys, especially if there’s peanut butter involved. Cindy loves any excuse to work her clever noggin and stretch her speed sticks. Afterwards, you’ll often find her recharging her long legs upside down in bed. Cindy is looking for a home with no other animals, where her humans understand her, and let her shine as the much-loved solo dog of the house. Cindy would be a beautiful match for someone who has loved a greyhound before and has room in their heart and home for one very special long dog.

Hounds in Homes
Megs
In an unexpected twist of fate, what started as a temporary fostering arrangement blossomed into a forever bond for Megs, a greyhound whose charm was too irresistible for her foster family to let go. Initially, the family had no intentions of adopting, yet Megs, with her gentle demeanour and playful spirit, quickly became an integral part of their lives. Alongside Bambie, the family's senior 13 year old dog, Megs found her place, adding youthful energy and joy to their home. The decision to officially welcome Megs into the family was cemented during a visit from relatives overseas, who saw the unmistakable connection and encouraged the family to adopt her. Born in January 2020, Megs has been on countless adventures with her family, from beach outings to trips to Bunnings, revelling in the joy of car rides and new experiences. Her first birthday with the family was celebrated with a special birthday box, a testament to their love and the many happy years ahead. Megs has also proven to be a vigilant guardian, alerting her family to the presence of a possum in the backyard with a few short barks and a growl. Her nights began in a crate, but curiosity and comfort soon led her to explore and find cozy spots next to her family members. Megs’s playful nature shines through in her love for soft toys and the excited barks she lets out when someone plays along. Despite her calm demeanour, she's known for her humorous antics, like sneakily stealing plush toys from the daughter's room, showcasing her playful and mischievous side. Her beautiful personality, a blend of calmness and fun, has made her an irreplaceable member of the family, bringing smiles and laughter to everyone around her. Her journey from a foster hound to a beloved family member highlights the unexpected paths that comes from opening one's home to a greyhound. Megs’s story is a heartwarming reminder of the deep bonds that can form between families and their foster pets, turning what might seem like a temporary arrangement into a lifelong love story.
