GAP 30th Anniversary Celebration

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.

Hershey

2 years old

Meet Hershey, a sweet and handsome fawn greyhound with a penchant for zoomies 😊. This cautious boy's got a playful streak and loves to get active, but he needs time to warm up to new things. Hershey's a great fit for an active household where he can get plenty of exercise and attention. Hershey suits households with kids 10+ or adults who can keep up with his energetic vibe – no elderly or apartments, please! He needs a backyard to stretch his legs and a medium to large dog companion if he's not the only dog. No cats, thanks! If you're looking for a fun-loving, loyal companion who's always up for a chocolatey good time, Hershey's your guy!

Passionfruit is just as adorable as her name is. She is unique in that she was born with a shorter tail than most of her greyhound pals. She is sweet, friendly and can act like a puppy at times even though she is 6 years old. She does settle down after her initial excitement. Passionfruit may suit living with or without a robust canine brother of similar size and children aged 10 years and older. Whilst in our care, Passionfruit had an infected vulva which we have treated with antibiotics, and the infection cleared up.

Meet Amber, a sweet and puppyish greyhound with a gentle spirit 😊. This affectionate girl loves people and is always up for a snuggle, but she's a bit of a homebody – no kids, please. Amber's happy to be the only dog or live with a medium to large dog who shares her gentle vibe. Poor Amber's got a broken heart, literally – she's got subaortic stenosis and needs meds for life, but don't let that scare you! 😔 She's a low-maintenance girl who just needs her Atenolol twice daily (it's inexpensive, btw). No long walks for this lady, just chill time and snuggles. Despite her condition, Amber's a loving companion who'll bring joy to your life – she's worth it, trust us! 🐾 If you're looking for a sweet friend, Amber's the one.

Stacey

4 years old

Meet Stacey and her muscular chest! Stacey and her ears are just adorable, they flop all over the place. Stacey can be a bit unsure in new situations and new environments, but it doesn't take her long to settle. On warm days, Stacey's favourite thing is to lay in water in a shell pool. On the not so hot days, Stacey enjoys a game of fetch, and she will actually drop the ball at your feet for you to throw it again! For people that don't know greyhounds, this is a rarity for them! Stacey has successfully completed further training in our onsite behavioural rehabilitation program (BRP) and is now ready for adoption. Stacey may do best living in a home as an only dog and children aged 10 years and older. Stacey has had an old Right forelimb injury and Left hindlimb stress fracture along the hock prior to GAP entry. She bears weight on these limbs and both limbs are stable.
