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.

Periwinkle

5 years old

Periwinkle is a striking male greyhound with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Friendly, outgoing, and full of quiet confidence, he quickly wins people over with his affectionate nature and calm, easy-going presence. Periwinkle 19981 has had wrist bone fracture prior to GAP entry. He bears weight on this limb and the area is stable, he does have a small amount of arthritis due to this injury. He enjoys human company and is happiest when he can be close to his people, whether that’s relaxing by your side or heading out for a leisurely walk. Periwinkle is well-mannered and easy to handle, making him a wonderful companion for adults or a family with children aged 10 and over who can respect his space and gentle nature. Having successfully completed behavioural rehabilitation training, Periwinkle is ready for a fresh start in a home that understands his needs. He would do best as an only dog, or potentially with a medium to large dog of similar temperament, but he cannot live with small dogs or cats. Periwinkle is not suited to a home with elderly owners, as he thrives in a steady, confident environment. With the right match, he will reward his new family with loyalty, affection, and companionship every day.

Terry Jefferds

3 years old

Meet Terry Jefferds—a big-hearted greyhound with the soul of a squad sergeant and the enthusiasm of a kid in a candy store. Terry loves love, and he makes that very clear, locking eyes with you like you’re the most important person in the room before leaning in for affection. Friendly, personable, and delightfully puppyish, he’s full of quirky charm and playful curiosity. Thanks to his behavioural rehabilitation training—focused on helping him learn appropriate behaviour around other dogs—Terry has gained great skills and continues to thrive with guidance, structure, and positive connection. Terry is looking for a home where his big personality can shine—either with adults or a family with kids aged 10+. He’s best suited as the only dog or with a medium-to-large canine companion who matches his energy, but he isn’t suitable for homes with small dogs or cats. Because of his size and zest for life, he’s also not the right fit for elderly households. Terry has had a previous injury to his right hock, but it hasn't stopped him from loving life. He may need some arthritis care later in his lifetime because of this. Give Terry the leadership, love, and routine he craves, and he’ll repay you with unwavering loyalty, daily laughs, and the kind of joy that only a dog who truly loves his people can bring.

Riptide

3 years old

There's this movie that we think you'll like, this dog decides to quit his job and heads to GAP City! Awooooo, woooo, wooo! Now that we got you singing his song, Riptide would like you to know more about him. This handsome man is after a home without too much on his wish list. He is a simple guy, happy to live on his own or with another medium or larger companion and may even be ok with full time workers. My foster Dad said I was a delightful house guest, and he was sad to see me go. Riptide has done some extra work here at GAP and in foster care to brush up on skills before he hits the big time and he cannot wait to start his next chapter. He does have a chronic toe injury which hasn't caused him current lameness. Riptide is waiting for his forever home with you.

Jack White

3 years old

Meet Jack White — a strikingly handsome greyhound with a rockstar name and a heart that’s impossible to resist. This sweet, affectionate boy is all about connection; he leans gently into you like he’s syncing to an irresistible rhythm, soaking up every pat and scratch like it’s the only tune that matters. With his soulful gaze and calm, loving nature, Jack White carries a quiet confidence — the kind that could charm even a “Seven Nation Army.” He’s the perfect mix of laid-back and captivating, always ready to be your most devoted sidekick. Jack White is best suited to a home with children aged 5+ or adults, where his gentle personality can truly shine. He would thrive either as the only dog soaking up all the love, or with a compatible canine companion — but no cats, please. He’s not suited to apartment living or homes with elderly individuals, as he needs space and stability to feel at his best. If you’re ready for a loyal companion who leans in close and stays by your side through every beat, Jack White is ready to march right into your heart.

Minty

8 years old

Minty is a lovely, sweet older girl who is bursting with personality! She loves being around her people and will lean on you for comfort (and sometimes laziness). Her affectionate nature and delightfully plump physique will be sure to win you over! Minty absolutely loves treats and toys, so she shouldn't be hard to train her to bust a move. She may suit living with or without another canine companion of any size and might even suit apartment living (she has started learning how to do stairs). She might be happy living with school aged children 5-10 years old and full time workers.

No items found.
Meet Leonardo. This handsome boy is quiet but friendly. He can sometimes be a little cautious, but he tries his hardest in new situations. With a supportive and kind home, he will blossom into his full personality. Because of Leonardos sweet and quiet personality he may suit living with any size dogs, and he may be suitable to live with older children aged 15+. For Leonardo to thrive he will require a quiet home in a quiet neighbourhood. Leonardo had some anxiety in out kennels due to the army base bombing. Transitional medication will be provided to help him settle into his new home.

Ava

4 years old

Ava is a very pretty and utterly sweet four-year-old girl with a puppyish charm and an affectionate, personable nature that is simply irresistible. Friendly and full of personality, Ava has a delightful little quirk that never fails to raise a smile — when excitement strikes, such as when walkies time rolls around, she throws herself into the most adorable spins on the spot, as if her joy is simply too big to contain. It is the kind of endearing behaviour that makes her completely impossible not to love. Ava would make a wonderful companion for the right home, bringing sweetness, affection, and plenty of personality wherever she goes. She may suit life as an only dog or could share her home with a similarly sized canine friend and could potentially live with children aged 10 years old and older. If you are looking for a beautiful, loving girl with a big heart and an even bigger personality, Ava might just be the one who spins her way straight into yours. Ava has successfully completed some further training in our onsite behavioural rehabilitation program and is now available for adoption!

Milla was Lemon

2 years old

Meet Lemon, as cute as her name is! She is only a young girl being barely 2 years old, she is just a sweet delight and the first people to meet her will fall in love. She walks well on a lead and is mostly easy to handle. She enjoys treats, so we think she will be easily trained with her food motivation. She may suit living with or without a canine brother of any size (if a small dog they would be better if they are playful and robust) and children aged 10 years and older.

Ben ARP

2 years old

Ben is a super sweet, highly intelligent, and gentle soul who is looking for a quiet, patient home where he can truly come out of his shell. He is a shy and anxious boy who is cautious around new people and slow to bond, but for the right person, the reward is immeasurable — once he trusts you, he is deeply affectionate, loving, and playful. His foster carer describes him nuzzling in for cuddles, licking hands, and snuggling close. He does best with a calm, consistent presence and will need an owner (or owners) who are gentle and willing to give him the time he needs to feel safe. He would likely suit a quiet home with older, teenage children, and is happy to live with a calm, polite dog of any size, having bonded beautifully with his foster carer’s small older dog. Once Ben feels secure, his personality truly blossoms. He loves squeaky toys, adores a big plush toy to cuddle up with, and will happily do zoomies around the backyard or chase a toy when he’s comfortable in your company. He is a fast learner — picking up toilet boundaries quickly with gentle guidance — and he settled well with a dedicated safe space of his own, like a large pen, which he never soiled and always retreated to happily. He sleeps through the night and will let you know when he needs to go outside. He is a strong dog on the lead, so a physically confident walker is ideal. He is not a fussy eater but eats best when he feels relaxed and safe. Ben is a truly special dog, and the right patient, gentle home will be so lucky to have him.

Barracuda

3 years old

Barracuda is a charming male greyhound with a fun-loving, puppyish spirit and a heart full of affection. Friendly and personable, he thrives on human interaction and loves being part of the action, whether it’s playtime, a walk, or simply hanging out with his people. His joyful energy and gentle nature make him a delight to be around, and he’s easy to handle despite his playful side. Barracuda would suit an adult home or a family with children aged 10 and over who can match his enthusiasm and provide a consistent, supportive environment. Barracuda has successfully completed behavioural rehabilitation training and is now ready to settle into a home that understands his needs. He would do best as an only dog or with a compatible medium to large dog, but he cannot live with small dogs or cats. He is not suited to a home with elderly owners, as he benefits from confident handling and structure. With the right home, Barracuda will bring endless affection, companionship, and a joyful presence to everyday life.
