Meet the Team: Tianna

For Tianna, every day at GAP is about helping greyhounds feel comfortable, cared for and ready for their next chapter.
As a Kennel Attendant, she's one of the friendly faces who keeps the kennels running smoothly, making sure every greyhound receives the care, attention and routine they need while they're with us. From breakfast and dinner to clean kennels and plenty of time outdoors, Tianna plays an important role in the daily lives of our dogs.
Tianna joined GAP two years ago while studying, after hearing about the role from friends who already worked with the team. The flexible environment made it easy to balance work and study, but it was the greyhounds themselves that quickly won her over.
Although she didn't know much about the breed before joining GAP, she's since discovered just how quirky, gentle and fascinating greyhounds really are. Watching their personalities emerge and seeing them head off to loving homes is what makes every day worthwhile.
We caught up with Tianna to learn more about her role, the greyhounds who have left a lasting impression and why she thinks these amazing dogs are full of surprises.
What's your name and what's your role at GAP?
Hi, my name is Tianna and I'm a Kennel Attendant here at GAP. I've been with GAP for two years now.
What does a typical day (or week) look like for you?
Part of my role is making sure all of the dogs' kennels are clean, they've had their breakfast and dinner, and that they all get plenty of time outside. Every day is about making sure the greyhounds are happy, healthy and well cared for.
What first brought you to GAP?
I had two friends who were already working here when I applied. I was studying at the time and GAP made it really easy for me to focus on both my studies and work.
Did you know much about greyhounds before working here? Has that changed?
I didn't really know much about greyhounds before working here. It's safe to say I've become very familiar with their behaviours!
What's your favourite thing about greyhounds as a breed?
I love how quirky and placid they are. I also find the history behind the breed really fascinating and the role they've played as companions to people for centuries.
Do you have a greyhound (or other pet) of your own?
I don't actually have a greyhound of my own... unless you count the little greyhound tattoo I have! I do have a cat.
Is there a particular greyhound, past or present, who's left a mark on you?
I'd probably have to say a dog named Sexy Rexy. He meant a lot to everyone here at GAP and made a massive impact on the team.
What's the most rewarding part of your job?
One hundred percent seeing the dogs find their forever homes.
What's a funny, surprising or heartwarming moment you've had on the job?
Building a rapport with the dogs over time and watching them come out of their shells is really special. Seeing their personalities shine through, especially when the zoomies start, is always a highlight.
What's one thing you wish more people knew about greyhounds or the adoption process?
They're much more low maintenance than most people think!
Coffee or tea? Morning person or night owl?
Coffee, definitely. I've always been more of a night owl.
If you were a greyhound, what would your name be and why?
Storm, or Stormie. My middle name is Storm, so it just makes sense!
Anything else you'd love to share with the GAP community?
Thank you for all your ongoing love and support!

Florida ARP
Its always sunny in Florida right!? This boy will certainly bring the sunshine into your life with his sweet, gentle, affection but puppy ways. He is just a young guy who is still very new to the world so he may take some time getting use to the big wide world but once he grows in your home he will shine! We think he may suit children 10 and over and may find his confidence with another canine companion of any size.
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 no other dogs currently in our care.

Jeanie ARP
Jeanie is a playful, happy, social girl that loves treats and toy time and will fill her new home with so much joy! She is the beam of sunshine you have been looking for in your new companion! We think Jeanie may suit living with children 10 and over and another medium or larger male canine companion. She would love an outside area to play in in her new home!

Princess ARP
We all might think that the little girls in our life are Princesses, but this girl truly is one, in the best kind of way! She is graceful, gentle, softly spoken, friendly, affectionate and boy does she have the best smile! She just wants to love and be loved! Princess may suit a home with children 10 and over and another medium or larger Prince in the palace. She may be ok for full-time workers too!

Mandy ARP
Mandy is as sweet, affectionate and gentle as they come. Whilst she might not be the life of the party, Mandy has the best qualities that everyone would want in a Greyhound. We think that Mandy may suit living in many homes and even ones with children 5 and over and another male canine companion to snooze the day away with or join her sniffari's in the neighborhood. We think she may also suit living with full time workers.

Thorn ARP
Looking for a tall, handsome, friendly and affectionate young man in your life? Well, we have just the guy for you! Thorn wont be the prick you are expecting, he will sweep you off your feet with the most charming eyes and willingness to please. He just asks for the best ear scratches in return as these are his favourite. We think he may suit many homes including those with children 5 and over and maybe even with some fellow roommates of any size. Thorn may even be ok if you let him be a stay at home couch potato whilst you are out earning more treato money!

Henry ARP
Henry might look like a mini horse but he is one of the most gentle giants you will meet. Henry is a quiet and polite young man who is theright height to nuzzle your hand for a pat, keep an eye on your pockets thoughbecause if there is something delicious in there he might just sniff it out! Wethink Henry may suit living with children 5 and over and with or withoutanother canine friend of any size (just no old or frail friends as he likes tohave a play!). Henry may be ok for full time workers.
