Meet our dogs ready for adoption
All greyhounds adopted from GAP are de-sexed, vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and health checked.

Scrappy ARP
If you are looking for a small boy, Scrappy might juts be for you! What he lacks in size he makes up for in personality; he has a puppyish and playful nature and seems to really want to please his person. He is just a super sweet little dog. Scrappy would likely be ok with children aged 10 or older and may be fine with full time workers.
This dog is part of our Assisted Rehoming Program (ARP). We have behavioural and health assessed this lovely dog, and they will remain with their racing owners until they find an adoptive home, at which point they are brought back into GAP. This means that should you be interested in adopting this dog, we are bringing the dog into GAP on the understanding that you will be adopting this particular dog, and not other dogs currently in our care.

Long Tail Gail

Captain ARP
Oh Captain, my captain! What a lovely chap this greyhound is! He is goofy in the nicest possible way and will keep you amused all day with his antics. He loves to play bow and has a very affectionate nature. Captain would likely be ok with kids aged 10 or olde and may be fine with full time workers.

Shaun ARP
Shaun has been in a good paddock and is carrying a bit of excess weight at the moment. He’s rocking the dad bod! He’s a friendly and loving chap and if you give him some treats, he will be your best friend for life. Shaun would likely be ok with kids 10 or older, and may be fine with full time workers.

Lara ARP
Little miss Lara is a little shy with new people and dogs, but with time and experience she may gain her confidence. She is fairly quiet and an introvert, Lara would likely not enjoy going to busy places like markets or busy cafes. Lara may suit living with or without a calm/placid canine friend of any size and older children aged in their teens. She will likely flourish best in a quiet home and neighbourhood. Sorry Lara would not suit living in an apartment.
