Adopting a Greyhound "will change your life"

Popular radio duo Craig Hutchison and Liam Pickering recently caught up with GRV Chair Peita Duncan and her pet greyhound Dynamite to discuss the Greyhound Adoption Program.

Peita and Dynamite entered SEN’s South Melbourne studios on 17 June as part of the station’s Saturday morning Off The Bench program, with Dynamite even chiming in on the conversation.

“It’s only $100 to adopt a greyhound and I know some people are paying thousands for designer dogs,” Ms. Duncan said.

“These dogs are pure bred and GAP matches you to the right dog… it’s like a dating show.”

Ducky

5 years old

Lovely Ducky has been living as a pet for the last three years and has been returned to our care through no fault of her own. In her previous home, Ducky was able to spend 8+ hours home alone by herself, so she may be great for full time workers! She has also been noted to love canine company, and we think she may be great in a home with another medium or large sized dog, or fine on her own! Ducky has a sensitive throat, so needs to be walked with a harness. As she can be a little excitable, we think she would be best in a home without any elderly, and would be ok with children aged 10 or older.
