GAP 30th Anniversary Celebration

Celebrate an incredible 30 years of GAP! Whether you’ve adopted, fostered, volunteered, or followed our journey from afar, this is for you!
Thirty years.
Twenty thousand greyhounds.
And countless lives transformed — dogs and humans.
To celebrate this incredible milestone, we’re hosting a 30th Birthday Party for the Greyhound Adoption Program, and we’d love you to be part of it.
📍 Abbotsford Convent
🕗 8am, Monday 16 March
🐾 Free, family‑friendly and open to all
Whether you’ve adopted, fostered, volunteered, or followed our journey from afar, this event is a celebration of you and the incredible greyhounds who have found — or are still waiting for — their forever homes.
And there’s something special planned…
At the party, a well‑known Australian personality will be adopting GAP’s 20,000th greyhound!
Who will it be? Join us live to find out.
Expect:
✔️ Meet‑and‑greets with GAP greyhounds
✔️ Live music and giveaways from the Nova Street Team
✔️ Coffee, treats and family‑friendly activities
✔️ A chance to mingle with fellow greyhound lovers

Xandi ARP
Sweet Xandi is a pretty and gentle soul who is looking for a patient, understanding home where she can build her confidence at her own pace. Having previously lived inside and even enjoyed sleeping on her owner's bed, she is familiar with home life and appreciates the comfort and security of being close to her people. Quiet, sweet and personable, Xandi is easy to handle and forms lovely connections through soft eye contact and her affectionate nature. While she can be timid and a little anxious in new situations, she always tries her best and responds beautifully to kindness and reassurance.
As an introverted and submissive girl, Xandi will likely take a few days to come out of her shell in a new environment, but once she feels safe, her loving personality begins to shine through. She would thrive with an owner who can give her the time, patience and encouragement she needs to settle in and feel secure. Xandi may suit living with or without a canine companion of any size and could be well suited to a home with children aged 15 years and older who can respect her gentle and sensitive nature.
If you're interested in adopting this dog, we'll arrange for them to come into GAP specifically for you to meet and complete the adoption process. Since the dog is being brought into the program based on your interest, we ask that applicants be reasonably confident this is the greyhound they'd like to welcome into their family. Unlike our standard adoption process, you won't be able to meet multiple dogs at the same time however our team will share lots of information about this greyhound to help you determine if they're the perfect match for your family.
