The annual Midsumma Festival Pride March took place along the streets of St Kilda on Sunday, February 5 and representatives from GRV & GAP were there to march proudly in support of the expression of inclusion and diversity in our communit
Among the 13,000 marchers were a team of 20 from the Victorian greyhound community including GRV Chair Peita Duncan, Board Member Bill Buccilli, CEO Stuart Laing, staff, GAP volunteers and two greyhound owning Drag Queens who were also joined by six beautiful re-homed greyhounds wearing striking rainbow themed rugs.
“Being involved in the Midsumma Festival Pride March is always a highlight on the calendar for GRV & we can’t wait to come down each year” GRV Chair Peita Duncan said.
“It is fantastic to march down Fitzroy Street with the LGBTQIA+ community and celebrate the pride we have in our dogs and in our industry as a whole. It is clear from the cheering, pats and cuddles our greyhounds receive along the route that we aren’t the only ones who love our greyhounds, especially on days of celebration like today.
“Our ongoing commitment to inclusion and diversity is something we take very seriously, and we will continue to reinforce that the door to our sport and rehoming is always open, and we welcome everyone, especially those considering providing a forever home to one of our gorgeous dogs through the Greyhound Adoption Program.”

Pedro ARP
Pedro is a friendly, outgoing and confident greyhound with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Affectionate and personable, he loves spending time with his people and is always happy to make new friends. One of Pedro’s favourite things in the world is a good butt scratch, and he'll happily lean in for more when he finds the perfect spot! With his easy-going nature, Pedro may suit a home either as an only dog or with a medium to large canine companion. He could also thrive in a family with respectful children aged 10 years and over who are keen to share plenty of love, attention and cuddles with this charming boy.
This dog is part of our Assisted Rehoming Program (ARP). ARP dogs are kept 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 them. As such, you will not be able to meet any other dogs, as you otherwise would be able to.

King ARP
Kingis a handsome, friendly and incredibly personable greyhound whose goofy, larger-than-life personality is guaranteed to keep his family smiling. This tall, affectionate boy loves being part of the action and has a playful, puppyish side that shines through in his hilarious zoomies and quirky antics. While King can be a little anxious at times, he always tries his best and gains confidence with patient support from the people he loves. Full of character, charm and plenty of goofy moments, King may suit a home with or without a medium or large canine companion and could do well with respectful children aged 10 years and over who will appreciate his fun-loving spirit and kind heart.

Bruno ARP
Bruno is a handsome greyhound with a gentle soul and a heart full of affection. Quiet, polite, and incredibly sweet, he enjoys spending time with his people and wins friends wherever he goes with his calm, personable nature. Bruno is confident in many situations, but like many greyhounds, he can occasionally be a little unsure and looks to his trusted humans for reassurance and support.
Friendly and easy-going, Bruno may happily settle into a home as an only dog where he can soak up all the attention, or he may enjoy living alongside another dog of any size. His kind and gentle temperament also makes him a lovely companion for families with children aged 5 years and older. If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate friend with plenty of charm, Bruno could be the perfect match.
