Matches aplenty at Geelong adoption day

Matches aplenty at Geelong adoption day

Fourteen greyhounds found their forever homes at a GAP Adoption Day in Geelong on Saturday.

A total of 18 greyhounds were available for adoption on the day, with around 70 prospective adopters in attendance.

“It was certainly a well-attended event,” said GAP Manager Larissa Hubbard.

“There were only four greyhounds that missed out on being adopted on the day, one of which (Kyle) is being adopted today.

Rubino, Teejay and Taylor were the others not to be adopted, with the trio returning to GAP until they find their forever homes.

A surprising element from the event was the distances some people travelled to get there, with one couple from Pearcedale and another from Warrnambool.

GAP’s Tullamarine facility is open Mondays to Saturdays from 9am-2pm – no appointment necessary.

Bort

5 years old

Bort is one of our not so brave soldiers here at GAP. He is still finding his feet and things are a bit scary at the moment. Dont let that fool you though, he loves people and will come and lean on you for pats and cuddles and really wants to be the bravest boy he can be. We think a nice quite home that has the patience to let him explore the world at his pace will be the perfect match for him and one without children as loud noises are a bit overwhelming. We also think he may suit living with another dog of any size that can show him that the world isnt so scary! Will you be Bort's home in shining armour? We know the best is yet to come with his handsome man.

There are no current treatments for this condition and won't impact his loveable nature in the home.

Wolf

3 years old

Meet Wolf! He is a young boy who can be a bit unsure of new environments and situations. Once he is comfortable, he allows his true colours to shine through and is puppyish, playful and affectionate. Wolf appears to have some issues with his vision, so he will need a special home who can manage this over the course of his life. Wolf may suit living with or without a canine pal of similar size and older children aged in their teens. Wolf has low vision, which isn't expected to get any worse. He doesn't require medication for this. He will be adopted out with a approval for a follow up appointment with an eye specialist, paid for by GAP.
