Meet Xenon, a gentle and introspective greyhound with a heart of gold! This quiet boy's got a sensitive soul, and he's still learning to navigate the world around him.

He's suited to a household with teenagers 15+, and he's best with a calm and respectful canine companion or as the only dog. Xenon might be okay with a chill cat, but slow introductions are a must.

Nigella

3 years old

Meet the adorable Nigella! You could possibly call her Gella or Ella for short?! Gella is a bit of a quirky girl; she seems quite youthful and puppyish. She can be a bit shy with new people but once she warms up, she is very affectionate and will jump up on you for cuddles. Nigella may suit living with or without a canine brother of any size and children aged 10 years and older. We think this young, energetic girl will do best in a home with a backyard to run and play in.

Macaroni

Macaroni

4 years old

Who doesn't love themself a little bit of Macaroni and cheese! This girl is everything you want and more when curled up on the couch watching your favourite show and eating snacks. Our Macaroni is a sweet little dish of personality with lots of enthusiasm sprinkled on top. This girl is a true cuddle bug and just loves attention from anyone willing to give it. The one thing to know about Macaroni is that she isnt a big fan of loud environments and much prefers the excitement to be coming from her own doing rather than live in chaos so a quieter setting would be great for her. We think she will be a fast learner too as she has already being showing us her natural sit in the kennels and will sit (without command) at the gate when you go to see her. Macaroni has recently completed her extra behavioural training here at GAP and is bursting to get out of the kennels and into a home. A family with children 10 or over or maybe even a house-hold with another medium or larger canine might suit her.

Roger

7 years old

Roger is a gentle and loving dog who is good with other dogs of all shapes and sizes! Roger could make a perfect apartment dog as he is not very active indoors and is very aware of personal space. He would love to go for walks, but he is also content to curl up on his bed and relax. He may be suitable to live with children over the age of 5. He is a confident dog who is not afraid of new things. He would be a great addition to any family!

Lulu ARP

3 years old

You will go 'lala' over Lulu! She is stunning, puppyish and a tad shy but oh so sweet. She will show you her puppyish side once she starts to settle in and you will just fall in love. We think this pretty girl may suit living with another medium or larger male companion and maybe children 10 and over. Anice yard to relax in will be great for Lulu as well.

This dog is part of our Assisted Rehoming Program (ARP). Wehave behavioural and health assessed this lovely dog, and they will remain withtheir racing owners until they find an adoptive home, at which point they arebrought back into GAP. This means that should you be interested in adoptingthis dog, we are bringing the dog into GAP on the understanding that you willbe adopting this particular dog, and not other dogs currently in ourcare.
