Greyhounds a hit at Midsumma Pride March

Greyhound Racing Victoria and its Greyhound Adoption Program were present once again at the Midsumma Pride March in St. Kilda on 4 February.
“GRV has been involved with the Midsumma Pride March since 2020,” announced GRV Chair Peita Duncan.
“This is our fourth year (of involvement) and we’re really proud of that because it’s really important as an industry and a sport to show that we are inclusive of anyone and everyone, and we’re a welcoming sport.
“We’re always very proud to come to this day.”
Only a small number of greyhounds took part in the march due to the excessive heat, and the dogs that were involved travelled in vehicles.
“People went absolutely crazy as soon as they saw the dogs with their heads out the windows of the cars.
“It’s a great day to promote the breed and to promote greyhound adoption,” Ms Duncan added.
Meet our dogs ready for adoption
All greyhounds adopted from GAP are de-sexed, vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and health checked.

Katelyn ARP
Katelyn is a lovely, sweet and confident girl who is so excited for her forever home that she has her bags packed! She may be happy to live in a home with or without another robust medium or large canine companion and children aged 10 years or older. She may be happy to live with full time workers.

Marley ARP
Are you looking for a mature greyhound who may be happy to live with a smaller dog? Marley might be your lady! She is super sweet, friendly, and outgoing, and has all the love to give. Marley may be happiest in a home with children 10 years and over and might suit living with full time workers.
This dog 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 not other dogs currently in our care.

Mr D ARP
Hi! I’m Mr D! What’s that you say!? I’m handsome? Well, there is so much more to love about me than my handsome looks but ill point out my shiny coat, awesome pointy ears and a tail that winds up like a helicopter but most importantly I am a real sweet, friendly and fun boy that is always up for an adventure. I think I might be ok to live with children 10 and over or maybe even another medium or larger play buddy!

Reindeer ARP
She may not be leading Santa’s sleigh like Rudolf but this quiet achiever is still just as important! She is a shy girl that we think will come out of her shell in a home that understands she just needs time to learn how to be a pet and patience to go at her pace. A quieter home with children 15 and over that are respectful of her boundaries maybe ok and somewhere with a nice yard that she can go and relax in. She may also benefit from a male friend that is medium or larger to help her transition into pet life. This lovely dog is not suitable for a home with cats.
