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.

Cecil

4 years old

Cecil is a happy, boofy boy who approaches life with boundless enthusiasm and a wagging tail. Outgoing, affectionate and always up for a cuddle, he loves being around his people and will happily soak up as many scratches as you're willing to give. Cecil's fun-loving personality shines through in everything he does, and his goofy charm makes him a joy to have around. Like many big-hearted dogs, he can be a little boisterous and impulsive at times, but it's all part of his lovable character. Cecil is looking for a home with adults or teens aged 15+ who can help him continue polishing his manners and provide consistent guidance as he learns. He would be most suited as an only dog, where he can be the centre of attention, or with a medium to large canine companion who is a good match for his size and energy. With patience, structure and plenty of affection, Cecil will reward his new family with endless love, laughs and loyal companionship.

Larry

5 years old

Meet Larry Long Legs, a 5-year-old black greyhound whose nickname tells you almost everything you need to know! This handsome boy is absolutely enormous, with long legs for days and a presence that turns heads wherever he goes. Some say he's the size of a pony, others reckon he's more like a mini horse, but either way, Larry is one unforgettable greyhound. Despite his impressive stature, Larry is a sweet, friendly and affectionate boy who loves spending time with people. Social, outgoing and full of personality, he's always happy to make new friends and enjoys being included in the action. After a walk, one of Larry's favourite things is settling in for a cosy snuggle with his humans. Larry has a stunning shiny black coat and a confident, personable nature that makes him impossible not to love. He can be strong on the lead, so he'll need owners who are comfortable handling a very large dog and can help him continue his lead manners. While he may look like an athlete, Larry also has a soft and affectionate side. He thrives on human companionship and loves receiving attention from those lucky enough to earn his friendship. Due to his size and strength, Larry would be best suited to a home with robust children aged 10 years and over who can comfortably interact with a dog of his proportions. If you've ever dreamed of owning a gentle mini horse disguised as a greyhound, Larry Long Legs might just be the perfect addition to your family.

Meet Tonka, a big-hearted Greyhound with a larger-than-life personality and a name that suits him perfectly! Like the famous Tonka trucks, this handsome boy is built for fun, adventure, and making an impression wherever he goes.

Tonka is looking for a home with teenagers aged 15+ or adults who can appreciate his energetic spirit and continue helping him polish his manners. Because he can be enthusiastic and strong, he is not suited to homes with frail or elderly people, and he should not live in an apartment. Tonka would thrive as an only dog where he can soak up all the attention, or with a confident, robust canine companion who can match his play style.

Bond

5 years old

Bond is licensed to thrill! This handsome greyhound is a friendly, outgoing boy with a larger-than-life personality and a mission to keep life exciting. Bond loves meeting people, launching into spectacular zoomie sessions, and bringing his signature puppyish enthusiasm to everything he does. Impulsive, excitable, and always ready for his next adventure, he's the kind of dog who turns every walk into an action-packed outing. Whether he's dashing around the yard or charming his admirers, Bond approaches life with all the confidence and energy of a secret agent on assignment. Bond is seeking an active home with children aged 5 years and over, or adults who can appreciate his exuberant nature. Due to his enthusiastic greeting style and tendency to get carried away in the excitement of the moment, a home with elderly people would not be suitable. Bond would be happiest as an only dog where he can be the star of the show, but he may also suit a home with a medium to large canine companion who can match his playful energy. Bond is not suitable to live with cats and will need a feline-free home. If you're looking for a loyal partner with a licence for fun, Agent Bond is ready to accept his next mission – and it could be with you. When Bond had his dental done in August 2026 areas of gum thickening were noted and biopsies taken. Results showed fibrous gingival hyperplasia, with is a benign thickening of the gums.

If you're interested in adopting this dog, we'll arrange for them to come into GAP specifically for you to meet and complete the adoption process. Since the dogis being brought into the program based on your interest, we ask that applicants be reasonably confident this is the greyhound they'd like to welcome into their family. Unlike our standard adoption process, you won't be able to meet multiple dogs at the same time however our team will share lots of information about this greyhound to help you determine if they're the perfect match for your family.
