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.

Jacko ARP
Jacko's dream is to be in a home witha family that can include him all of their activities; he is up for camping,going to the café, beer garden, local markets, you name it! He loves nothingmore than human attention and affection. He may suit living with another dog ofsimilar size or if living as an only dog may need to have some training earlyon to learn to be home alone. He may suit living with children aged 10 yearsand older.

Boppy ARP
Are you ready to get Boppy!! Cause this sweet girl is ready to take on life with her own family and show them what having fun is all about. Boppy is an affectionate and happy girl that thinks life is GREAT! She cant wait to have many adventures in her new home with possibly some side kicks (children 10 and over) or just a fun loving owner that is wanting to get out and about and “Bop” around. We also think she may suit living with another medium or larger male dog companion and full time workers.

Zoom ARP
How adorable is Zoom? She is a lovely, quiet and sweet girl who thinks the world is a bit of a scary place. She will be looking for someone special who can show her the way and help her to build her confidence. She really tries hard to please so we think she will flower into a lovely dog. Zoom might be best suited to a quieter home with no children, however she may suit full time workers.

Xinji ARP
Xinji (pronounced Shin-jee) is a lovely young girl who has a world of love to give you. She can be a bit of a worrier and can be shy when she first meets you, but with a little bit of time and patience, we know she will blossom into a wonderful companion. She walks well on the lead and will be looking for a quiet household to settle into. She may be happy living with or without another canine companion of any size, though she would prefer having access to a backyard. She may also suit full time workers and living with children aged in their teens.
