Frequently asked questions
What is the fee to adopt a greyhound?
Just $100 will buy you 8 to 10 years of unlimited love! All our greyhounds are desexed, vaccinated, microchipped, wormed etc. They also come with a lead, collar and a coat.
Can I bring my own dog to the event?
No, sorry! We are unable to accommodate meet and greets with other dogs at this event. You can, however, undertake these at our Tullamarine kennels any day of the week other than a Sunday.
I have a cat - will there be a dog suitable for me?
Due to the high demand for cat tolerant dogs, we won't have any available at this event.
I'm not ready to adopt yet, can I still come?
Absolutely! Our beautiful greyhounds offer unlimited pats. What's not to love about that?

Sniper ARP
Sniper is very handsome with kind eyes. He doesn’t understand how big he is sometimes and can be strong on lead. He is excitable and enthusiastic when you first meet him then calms down and is very sweet and friendly. Sniper may suit living with or without a robust canine friend that’s medium size or larger and children in their teenage years. He will likely do best in a home with a backyard so he can run and play in.
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.
