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!
