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.
Meet our dogs ready for adoption
All greyhounds adopted from GAP are de-sexed, vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and health checked.

Joe ARP
Happy Joe! This handsome young boy is a friendly and personable young boy that loves his food, toys and zoomies. Joe has had a lot of experience being a pet and is ready to spread his love and joy to his new family. Joe may suit living in a home with children 10 and over and another canine companion of any size. As Joe is still a bundle of fun we think if he has a smaller play buddy they would be better being a bit robust as he loves to zoom! Joe would appreciate a nice backyard to do his sillies in and make you laugh everyday with his antics.
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.

Bing ARP
Bing is a lovely friendly, personable boy who can have a soft side at times. He tries his hardest to please, but sometimes he can get a little overwhelmed. He would benefit from a family who can build his confidence up and show him that the world isn't such a scary place. He would prefer to live in a quiet home in a quiet neighbourhood. He may be happy to live with a calm, polite dog of any size, though he may also be happy living as an only dog. Bing may be happy living with children aged 10 years and over.
