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!”

GAP’s next Adoption Day will be held at Ballarat on Saturday 21 October (2.00pm to 3.00pm). Click here to register.

Meanwhile GAP Tullamarine – located at 444 Melrose Drive – is open from 10.00am to 3.00pm every day except Sundays with no appointment necessary.

Bort

5 years old

Bort is one of our not so brave soldiers here at GAP. He is still finding his feet and things are a bit scary at the moment. Dont let that fool you though, he loves people and will come and lean on you for pats and cuddles and really wants to be the bravest boy he can be. We think a nice quite home that has the patience to let him explore the world at his pace will be the perfect match for him and one without children as loud noises are a bit overwhelming. We also think he may suit living with another dog of any size that can show him that the world isnt so scary! Will you be Bort's home in shining armour? We know the best is yet to come with his handsome man.

There are no current treatments for this condition and won't impact his loveable nature in the home.

Wolf

3 years old

Meet Wolf! He is a young boy who can be a bit unsure of new environments and situations. Once he is comfortable, he allows his true colours to shine through and is puppyish, playful and affectionate.

Wolf may suit living with or without a canine pal of similar size and older children aged in their teens. Wolf has low vision, which isn't expected to get any worse. He doesn't require medication for this. He will be adopted out with a approval for a follow up appointment with an eye specialist, paid for by GAP.
