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!”

Katelyn ARP
Katelyn is a lovely, sweet and confident girl who is so excited for her forever home that she has her bags packed! She may be happy to live in a home with or without another robust medium or large canine companion and children aged 10 years or older. She may be happy to live with full time workers.

Marley ARP
Are you looking for a mature greyhound who may be happy to live with a smaller dog? Marley might be your lady! She is super sweet, friendly, and outgoing, and has all the love to give. Marley may be happiest in a home with children 10 years and over and might suit living with full time workers.
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.
Mr D ARP
Hi! I’m Mr D! What’s that you say!? I’m handsome? Well, there is so much more to love about me than my handsome looks but ill point out my shiny coat, awesome pointy ears and a tail that winds up like a helicopter but most importantly I am a real sweet, friendly and fun boy that is always up for an adventure. I think I might be ok to live with children 10 and over or maybe even another medium or larger play buddy!

Reindeer ARP
She may not be leading Santa’s sleigh like Rudolf but this quiet achiever is still just as important! She is a shy girl that we think will come out of her shell in a home that understands she just needs time to learn how to be a pet and patience to go at her pace. A quieter home with children 15 and over that are respectful of her boundaries maybe ok and somewhere with a nice yard that she can go and relax in. She may also benefit from a male friend that is medium or larger to help her transition into pet life. This lovely dog is not suitable for a home with cats.
