Ab-solutely smitten

India Armstrong couldn’t be happier with new family member Abner following Sunday’s Adoption Day at The Meadows.
After making the long trek from Maryborough to Melbourne with partner Jack and son Cal on Sunday, India said Abner has fitted into his new surroundings like a duck to water.
“We went to the Adoption Day thinking Abner was beautiful, but due to him being so pretty and having so much online interest, he wasn’t on our ‘to meet’ list originally,” India said.
“We wanted a dog that would fit our family and lifestyle, rather than based off looks. We were happy with any age, colour and to work through any quirks – we just wanted a nice fit. And Abner so far is perfect.
“He is loving the couch and freedom to explore inside and out as he pleases. He has eaten well and is wonderful at going out for toileting.”

The family now has three pet dogs – two of which are greyhounds – with Abner welcomed lovingly by her new canine siblings Rosie and Elizabeth.
“We are all smitten,” India said.
“We’re so thrilled to have Abner as a part of our family and couldn’t be happier with the match!”

Pedro ARP
Pedro is a friendly, outgoing and confident greyhound with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Affectionate and personable, he loves spending time with his people and is always happy to make new friends. One of Pedro’s favourite things in the world is a good butt scratch, and he'll happily lean in for more when he finds the perfect spot! With his easy-going nature, Pedro may suit a home either as an only dog or with a medium to large canine companion. He could also thrive in a family with respectful children aged 10 years and over who are keen to share plenty of love, attention and cuddles with this charming boy.
This dog is part of our Assisted Rehoming Program (ARP). ARP dogs are kept 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 them. As such, you will not be able to meet any other dogs, as you otherwise would be able to.

King ARP
Kingis a handsome, friendly and incredibly personable greyhound whose goofy, larger-than-life personality is guaranteed to keep his family smiling. This tall, affectionate boy loves being part of the action and has a playful, puppyish side that shines through in his hilarious zoomies and quirky antics. While King can be a little anxious at times, he always tries his best and gains confidence with patient support from the people he loves. Full of character, charm and plenty of goofy moments, King may suit a home with or without a medium or large canine companion and could do well with respectful children aged 10 years and over who will appreciate his fun-loving spirit and kind heart.

Bruno ARP
Bruno is a handsome greyhound with a gentle soul and a heart full of affection. Quiet, polite, and incredibly sweet, he enjoys spending time with his people and wins friends wherever he goes with his calm, personable nature. Bruno is confident in many situations, but like many greyhounds, he can occasionally be a little unsure and looks to his trusted humans for reassurance and support.
Friendly and easy-going, Bruno may happily settle into a home as an only dog where he can soak up all the attention, or he may enjoy living alongside another dog of any size. His kind and gentle temperament also makes him a lovely companion for families with children aged 5 years and older. If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate friend with plenty of charm, Bruno could be the perfect match.
