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.

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

Willow ARP

2 years old

We promise she has ears! Willow is a sweet little girl that can be a little unsure in new environments and will need a quiet and understanding new home to let her settle in. Once she is comfortable, we are sure a cheeky and playful little pup will emerge. Due to this, a home with a backyard and older children if any may be a better fit for her. She may even like the company of another male canine companion to help show her the world, as long as they are calm and respectful whilst she is adjusting. We think the best is yet to come with dear Willow and will make someone super pleased to have her in their life.
