Greyhounds and gelato – what more could you ask for?

Greyhounds met with office workers at Victoria Gardens in Richmond today as part of an organised promotion for greyhounds as pets.

Bengal and Gebauer – both of which are available for adoption – proved a huge hit along with fellow greyhounds Marshall and Denim as more than 100 people wandered across during their lunch break to meet the adorable pooches and enjoy some free gelato.

Greyhounds are proven to be excellent office dogs and are an increasingly popular inner-suburban pet.

Meet our dogs ready for adoption

All greyhounds adopted from GAP are de-sexed, vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and health checked.

Hershey

2 years old

Meet Hershey, a sweet and handsome fawn greyhound with a penchant for zoomies 😊. This cautious boy's got a playful streak and loves to get active, but he needs time to warm up to new things. Hershey's a great fit for an active household where he can get plenty of exercise and attention. Hershey suits households with kids 10+ or adults who can keep up with his energetic vibe – no elderly or apartments, please! He needs a backyard to stretch his legs and a medium to large dog companion if he's not the only dog. No cats, thanks!

Ivy

5 years old

Sweet Ivy is a polite and gentle girl that can be a little quiet in new environments but blossoms when she settles in. Ivy is a lover of treats and will soon be your best friend with something yummy on offer. With her sleek body and light coloured eyes gazing up into yours, you wont be able to resist her! We think she may do best in a home with children 10 and over or maybe another male dog of any size. She does like to have some outside space to relax in but may do ok in a home that only has a small yard due to her quiet nature.
