Best Mates Adoption Day
%20(1).png)
This Father’s Day, skip the usual socks and meet your new best mate.
Join us on Sunday 6 September for Best Mates Adoption Day, a special greyhound adoption event celebrating companionship, family and the joy of finding your perfect match.
Whether you are celebrating Dad, a special father figure, or becoming a proud greyhound dad yourself, come along and meet some wonderful greyhounds ready to find loving homes.
Adopt a greyhound and receive FREE greyhound socks for Dad!
Because it would not be Father’s Day without socks, every greyhound adopted at the event will come with a free pair of greyhound socks.
A new best mate and the socks too. We think Dad will be pretty happy with that.
What to expect:
Meet 28 beautiful greyhounds looking for loving homes, chat with the friendly GAP team and discover what makes this gentle, affectionate breed so special.
Our experienced team will be available to answer your questions, learn more about your home and lifestyle, and help you meet greyhounds who may be a suitable match.
Never met a greyhound before?
Even better.
Best Mates Adoption Day is a relaxed opportunity to meet the breed, ask questions and learn more about life with a greyhound. There is no pressure to adopt, just plenty of friendly faces, helpful advice and beautiful greyhounds to meet.
When you find the right match, the GAP team will guide you through the adoption process.

Every greyhound available through GAP has been carefully assessed, and our team works with adopters to find a match suited to their household and lifestyle.
