Hendrix

3 years old

Meet Hendrix, a true rockstar with a big personality and an even bigger heart. This extroverted greyhound loves being part of the action and charms everyone he meets with his quirky, affectionate nature. Always ready to make a connection, Hendrix is known for seeking out eye contact with his people, as if he's checking in to make sure you're enjoying the show as much as he is. He's enthusiastic about life, loves tearing around the yard in a burst of zoomies, and genuinely wants to please those around him. With Hendrix in your corner, there's never a dull moment. Hendrix is looking for a home with children aged 10 years and over or adults, and is not suited to a home with elderly residents due to his energetic and exuberant nature. He could thrive as an only dog soaking up the spotlight, or with a compatible canine companion to share his adventures. A home without cats is essential, and a secure backyard is a must so he can enjoy his favourite pastime—putting on a spectacular zoomie performance worthy of his namesake. For a family seeking a social, loving and entertaining companion, Hendrix is ready to headline the show.

Donny ARP

3 years old

If you are looking for a big love bug that can be soft and cuddly then Donny may just be the love of your life. He is sweet and affectionate, but it can take him a little bit to feel comfortable with new people and environments. Once he is settled, he is a goofy oversized puppy that will lean on you for a good scratch. We think he may suit living with children 10 and over and with or without another medium or larger canine companion. No apartments for his boy though as he does like to show you his silly side and do zoomies!

This dog is part of our Assisted Rehoming Program (ARP). ARP dogs are kept 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 them.

How stunning is the cow print on this little girl! She is sweet, smart and soft, affectionate and can be a little shy to start but when she is comfortable she shows her silly, puppyish side and loves to do zoomies! We think she may suit living with another male dog of any size and children 10 and over as long as they are respectful of her space as she settles in. She may suit living with full time workers as well.

When the zoomies take flight, through the lounge late at night — that’s-a Pizza! Meet Pizza: a long-legged legend, a retired racer turned professional couch ornament.

Having completed behavioural rehabilitation training, Pizza has blossomed into a happy, social boy and is showing all the signs of being ready for his forever home.
