National Greyhound Adoption Month off to a flyer!

National Greyhound Adoption Month off to a flyer!

National Greyhound Adoption Month launched like a 16-speed rocket on Saturday in Victoria, when GAP’s ‘greylight savings’ event saw 16 long-dogs head off home with their new families.

The Tullamarine facility was a hive of activity and anticipation, but it was Esther, Deeks, Mexico, Jarvis, Antheia, Rabbit, Braska, Sunday, Cole, Freja, Yogi, Elvis, Rex, Mister and Kerrie (whew!) that found new friends and a life of happy retirement.

The National Adoption Month is a time for all of Australia’s adoption agencies to amount their most ambitious activities and find new homes for former racing greyhounds. There’ll be an activity each weekend, with the next on Saturday April 13, again at Tullamarine, and the culmination on Sunday April 28 with the National Adoption Day at The Meadows greyhound track.

For each of these events, all fees are waived, and every greyhound will come with a free bag of top-quality dog food (our noodles deserve nothing less!)

For details about the month’s activities, register your interest and see the greys available, you only have to CLICK HERE!

Ducky

5 years old

Lovely Ducky has been living as a pet for the last three years and has been returned to our care through no fault of her own. In her previous home, Ducky was able to spend 8+ hours home alone by herself, so she may be great for full time workers! She has also been noted to love canine company, and we think she may be great in a home with another medium or large sized dog, or fine on her own! Ducky has a sensitive throat, so needs to be walked with a harness. As she can be a little excitable, we think she would be best in a home without any elderly, and would be ok with children aged 10 or older.
