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
✔️ Plenty of long noses and wagging tails
Let’s come together to celebrate the community that made 20,000 adoptions possible — and help champion the next 20,000.
Meet our dogs ready for adoption
All greyhounds adopted from GAP are de-sexed, vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and health checked.

Jigsaw ARP
Jigsaw ARP is a lovely white and black boy who can be shy when you first meet him but warms up quickly. He is very polite, gentle and sweet, as well as having the cutest pointy ears! Jigsaw may suit a home with children aged 10 years or older, and might even suit living with full time workers. He would prefer not to live in apartment, but may suit a unit.
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.

Blaze ARP
Meet the young Blaze. He is just as beautiful on the inside as he is on the outside. Blaze is a friendly and outgoing boy who loves meeting everyone and anyone and loves affection. Blaze may suit living with or without a fellow playful pooch of similar size and children aged 5 years and older.

She isa happy girl and will no doubt make you smile from ear to ear. She enjoys playing with toys and receiving and giving cuddles with her people. Pocket may suit living with or without a playful and robust canine brother and children aged 10 years and older. Pocket will require a home with a backyard to let her energy out.
