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.”
Hear the interview below…
Meet our dogs ready for adoption
All greyhounds adopted from GAP are de-sexed, vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and health checked.

Jess

She gives off “Elle Wood” – Legally Blonde vibes and she is totally okay with it! This fun, flirty, sweet girl is beauty and brains rolled into one and we know she is going to make a great family addition. We think she may suit children 10 and over and may also suit living with her own Bruiser– just as long as they are a little robust and happy to play. Her race name suggests ‘Nobody’s Perfect’ but Jess would probably tell you otherwise!

Bobby

Bobby is a lovely young man, just look at his beautiful light-coloured eyes, they seem to stare into your soul. Bobby is a social, friendly and affectionate boy who is keen to move into his furever home. He may suit living with or without a canine pal of similar size and children aged 10years and older.

Skye



We promise you that Skye does have ears! They actually roll up like a cinnamon scroll and sit neatly on her head - it’s the cutest thing you will ever see. Miss Skye is a bit of a shy girl and can take some time before she shows you her full personality. We think her forever home should be somewhere quiet with a yard and has a patient owner to let her explore the world at her pace. Children 15 and over would be better for her and the company of another male dog of any size that can show her the ropes.

Heston



Heston has that cute quirky smile, if you look closely you will see his lip is stuck on his teefs! Heston is a bit of a quiet and independent boy but does show an affectionate side once he gets to know you. We think that Heston may suit living in a home with another dog of any size that will show him how pet life is done. He may also suit being an only dog and children 10 and over. We think he would do better with a backyard to relax and chill out in in his new home and may also be okay for fulltime workers. P.S we think he may suit living with a cat! What a good boy you are Heston!

Esmae




Esmae is everyone’s friend! She is sweet, funny, personable and puppyish. She loves being around other dogs and people and would love to find a home with another dog bestie to spend her days hanging out with. She loves to lean on anyone that wants to give her pats and attention. We think Esmae will best suit living with another male canine companion of any size and children 5 and over. Esmae may even suit living with a cat and full time workers.

Speedy

Are you in the need for Speed? Well we have the perfect match for you. She can go 0 to 75 in five seconds and then back to zero for the best afternoon nap. Speedy loves to zoom around and play so we think she would best suit a home that had children 10 and over and a robust medium or larger male dog to play with. Dont wait, she will race out of here in no time!
