Educational Webinar 2: Reserve your place

Educational Webinar 2: Reserve your place

GAP Victoria is set to host the second of its free Educational Webinars on Wednesday 19 April as part of National Adoption Month.

Join renowned vet Dr Bec as she discusses how to best take care of a greyhound, from their diet and exercise to any health concerns that are common for the breed.

Bec is a veterinarian with a passion for pet greyhounds. Actually, she’s pretty much nuts for all animals, but Greys are extra special.

Bec runs the GAP veterinary clinic in Seymour – where she sees thousands of beautiful greys going to new homes. Many (if not most) of these new homes have not had a greyhound before.

Bec really wants new parents to have the information they need to keep their pet grey healthy and happy, so on top of her work with GAP she’s created Greys Matter, where people can find answers to their questions.

Gilly

5 years old

No items found.
Meet Gilly, a tall, irresistible greyhound with model looks and a personality to match. He’s as sweet as they come, friendly to everyone he meets, and always keen to make a new friend—especially if that friend happens to have treats. Outgoing, personable, and just the right amount of cheeky, Gilly has mastered the art of charming his way into both hearts and snack cupboards. He’s equally happy showing off a burst of zoomies or settling in close for some well-earned relaxation. Gilly would thrive in a home with children aged 10 and over who can appreciate his gentle but enthusiastic nature. He’s not suited to apartment living, as he enjoys having space to stretch his long legs, and he may be a bit too lively for an elderly household. If you’re looking for a handsome, affectionate companion who brings energy, warmth, and a healthy appreciation for treats, Gilly could be the perfect addition to your family.

Thyme ARP

5 years old

Thyme is a lovely female greyhound with a calm, gentle presence that makes her an absolute pleasure to be around. Sweet, outgoing, and deeply affectionate, she enjoys human company and rewards her people with plenty of love and quiet companionship. Whether she’s relaxing by your side or greeting you with a soft, happy demeanor, Thyme’s easy-going nature makes her a wonderful addition to a peaceful home.

She may suit a range of living situations, including apartments, and may even be a great match for an elderly owner looking for a devoted companion. Thyme may be suitable for a home with children aged 5 and over, and she may like either to be the only dog or with a suitable canine companion. With her gentle temperament and affectionate personality, Thyme is ready to bring warmth and calm companionship to her forever home.

Thyme 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 no other dogs currently in our care.

Anna is a gentle, sweet greyhound whose quiet charm wins hearts wherever she goes. Pretty and affectionate, she enjoys spending time with her people and forming close bonds with those she trusts. Anna has a puppyish side that emerges once she feels comfortable, bringing moments of playfulness and joy to her day. Naturally more introverted, she prefers a calm and predictable environment where she can relax, build confidence and enjoy life at her own pace.

She could happily live as an only dog, or alongside a well-matched medium to large canine companion. Anna is not suitable for homes with cats.

In the right home, Anna will be a loving, loyal and devoted companion who will flourish with patience, kindness and understanding.

He carries himself with effortless grace, taking life in stride and bringing a peaceful presence to those around him.

Pax

6 years old

P is for polite and personable, A is for affectionate and authentic and X is for Xtra handsome! He is all ears for his new family and can't wait to meet you. Pax has recently been doing some extra behavioral work with the GAP team and has scrubbed up on his skills ready for pet life.
