Ruffey Lake Park Biggies, Whippies and Iggies Walk

Ruffey Lake Park Biggies, Whippies and Iggies Walk is an initiative of Rehomed Retired Racers

This is not a general walk but specifically aims to provides an opportunity for confident Biggies, Whippies and Iggies to mix with their less confident and timid fur friends.

The walk is designed to help timid, anxious and shy dogs to gain confidence in a non threatening environment and learn about being brave and happy in a social situation.

The Walk also provides an opportunity for potential owners to come along and meet these outstanding animals, chat with owners and take one for a "test drive" in the beautiful surrounds of Ruffey Lake Park Doncaster.

The group meets at The Boulevarde car park on the first Saturday and the third Sunday of the month @ 9.30am for a 10.00am start.

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!

Meet Dottie, a sweet and pretty greyhound with a quirky personality 😊. This affectionate girl's got a special charm – she's a bit of a character, but you'll love her for it. Dottie's a great companion who'll bring joy to your life. Dottie suits households with kids 10+ or adult-only homes, and she'd love to be the only dog or live with a medium to large dog who shares her gentle vibe. She needs a backyard to stretch her legs and chill out 🌳. If you're looking for a loving, one-of-a-kind companion who's full of personality, Dottie's the one! Dottie has inflammation of the third eyelids - seen as reddening and/or swelling of the third eyelid. Irritation may cause rubbing of the head/eyes. This may be due to environmental allergens or an auto-immune response.

Banjo

5 years old

Who can resist that adorable ever so slightly greying face, unexpected tongue blep and the head tilt to top it all off. Banjo has really put on the charm for this one! Sweet Banjo is ready for his next life adventure (although he has made sure we let his new owners know about his napping schedule as it is very important!). Banjo recently completed his extra curriculum activities here at GAP to make sure his skills were polished and ready to head off into the world. We think whomever adopts Banjo is going to have a best buddy come home with them! We think he may suit living with another medium or larger canine buddy and maybe children 10 and over. We also think due to his quiet nature and laziness in the kennels he may suit living in an apartment type setting.

Alonso suits households with kids 10+ or adults who can give him the attention he craves – no cats or small dogs, please! He'd love to be the only dog or live with a medium to large dog who shares his laid-back vibe. If you're looking for a loyal companion who's always in the pits of your heart, Alonso is your driver!

Joe ARP

3 years old

Meet Joe, he is one of the happiest dogs you will ever meet! He is an enthusiastic boy, who enjoys meeting everyone and anyone, the more the merrier! He will jump up on your for cuddles. He at times doesn’t know his own size and will likely suit a home with older children aged 15 years and older. He may suit living with or without a robust canine friend of any size. This active pup would likely suit a home with a backyard to 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.

Pawfect

5 years old

This boy has the most "Pawfect" ears for a hat! Mr Pawfect may not be that just yet but he is certainly one who will try his hardest in everything he does. He is a bit puppy at heart and is still learning how to play but we think he will settle when he is in his new home. Pawfect may suit living with children 10 and over and another medium or larger play buddy to show him the ropes.
