New Forever Homes Found for Adorable Greyhounds
.avif)
The curtain fell on the 2023 National Greyhound Adoption Month on Sunday with Victoria’s Greyhound Adoption Program (GAP) major annual adoption day at The Meadows.
Hundreds of current and prospective greyhound devotees attended the event that rehomed 46 retired greyhounds to their forever homes on the day.
GAP Rehoming Manager Sean Stanton said interest in this year’s event demonstrated that the greyhound breed remains a popular choice as a pet.
“Greyhounds becoming household pets is increasing and that is really evident by how many you see being walked and exercised across the state.
“They are adaptable to almost any home environment, even apartment living, and any family size as they are quite content to lay around and be the best ‘couch potatoes’ you can find.
“If people are looking for a gentle, calm and placid low maintenance but highly affectionate dog breed as a pet, then a greyhound is for them.
“The team at GAP is committed to matching the right greyhound with the right family to ensure a long-lasting life together in the greyhound’s new forever home.
“Every day is an adoption day at GAP”, Stanton said.
Appointments can be made to visit GAP at Seymour or Tullamarine and meet all the beautiful hounds available for rehoming via gap.grv.org.au or give the team a call on (03) 5799 0166 to find out more.

All greyhounds adopted from GAP are de-sexed, vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and health checked.

Jacko ARP
Jacko's dream is to be in a home witha family that can include him all of their activities; he is up for camping,going to the café, beer garden, local markets, you name it! He loves nothingmore than human attention and affection. He may suit living with another dog ofsimilar size or if living as an only dog may need to have some training earlyon to learn to be home alone. He may suit living with children aged 10 yearsand older.

Boppy ARP
Are you ready to get Boppy!! Cause this sweet girl is ready to take on life with her own family and show them what having fun is all about. Boppy is an affectionate and happy girl that thinks life is GREAT! She cant wait to have many adventures in her new home with possibly some side kicks (children 10 and over) or just a fun loving owner that is wanting to get out and about and “Bop” around. We also think she may suit living with another medium or larger male dog companion and full time workers.

Zoom ARP
How adorable is Zoom? She is a lovely, quiet and sweet girl who thinks the world is a bit of a scary place. She will be looking for someone special who can show her the way and help her to build her confidence. She really tries hard to please so we think she will flower into a lovely dog. Zoom might be best suited to a quieter home with no children, however she may suit full time workers.

Xinji ARP
Xinji (pronounced Shin-jee) is a lovely young girl who has a world of love to give you. She can be a bit of a worrier and can be shy when she first meets you, but with a little bit of time and patience, we know she will blossom into a wonderful companion. She walks well on the lead and will be looking for a quiet household to settle into. She may be happy living with or without another canine companion of any size, though she would prefer having access to a backyard. She may also suit full time workers and living with children aged in their teens.
