Nathan Murphy: GAP ambassador
It’s a big month for Nathan Murphy in more ways than one.
The Collingwood premiership hero has just decided to retire from the AFL due to concussion issues at just 24 years of age.
April is the greyhound world’s National Adoption Month, with Nathan the face of Victoria’s activations, which will culminate in an adoption day at The Meadows in Melbourne on Sunday 28 April.
A dog lover who has owned three racing greyhounds with former teammate Jaidyn Stephenson (now at North Melbourne Kangaroos), Nathan is only too happy to support efforts to rehome greyhounds that are no longer suitable for racing.
“It (GAP) is a great program that has been set up by Greyhound Racing Victoria.”
“It’s obviously Greyhound Adoption Month this April. It’s a great initiative. They set these dogs up with the right families and there’s been a lot of success with it.”
“It’s really nice and comforting to know that these guys are going to the right homes.”
“They’re so calm and gentle and I’m told some of them can sleep up to 23 hours a day. You just have to exercise them a bit during that one hour that they’re awake.”
Meet our dogs ready for adoption
All greyhounds adopted from GAP are de-sexed, vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and health checked.

Lee
How handsome is this young chap! Mr Lee here is a stunning, sleek, shiny boy that is just as sweet as he is handsome. Lee is still a young one getting to know the ropes so he can be a bit silly and on the go but he does sometimes step back and take it all in. He can be a little shy in new situations but soon forgets what he was worried about and is back to his usual playful self. We think Lee may suit living with children 10+ and maybe another medium or larger companion. He has requested a backyard though please as he wants to show you his epic zoomies and play till its nap time!
