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.

Taylah ARP
Meet Taylah. Taylah is a sweet, playful, and very puppyish greyhound with a quirky personality that makes her stand out. She loves her treats, is eager to please, and proudly shows off her adorable skills — Taylah naturally knows how to sit and even offers her paw, which is as cute as it sounds.
With the most beautiful eyes and a cute little face, Taylah has a way of winning hearts without even trying. She’s affectionate, fun-loving, and brings plenty of joy and personality into the home.
Taylah may suit living with medium or large dogs and may also suit a home with children aged 10+. She’s ready to become someone’s very special girl.
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.

Willow ARP
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.

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.
