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.

Stella
Such a pretty, sweet, polite young girl is Stella! She can be a little on the shy side at times, but we feel that she grows in confidence pretty quickly, especially is there is another dog around to show her the way. Stella may suit living with children 10+ and medium or larger male dogs. Stella would be best in a home with a nice yard to relax in and might also suit living with full time workers if there is a doggy friend around to hang out with.
Bobby
Bobby is a lovely young man, just look at his beautiful light-coloured eyes, they seem to stare into your soul. Bobby is a social, friendly and affectionate boy who is keen to move into his furever home. He may suit living with or without a canine pal of similar size and children aged 10years and older.
Leonard
Leonard is a quiet boy with a gentle nature. He can be a little unsure in new situations but quickly relaxes and comes out of his shell. He’s very pretty and has a beautiful golden coat. Lovely Leonard would likely be ok with children aged 5 or older, and he may be fine with full time workers. Due to his quiet nature he may even suit apartment living.

Nikki
Meet sweet Nikki, this little lady is incredibly sweet and would love nothing less than all your attention. Nikki would prefer to be the only poochy pal in your life so she can give you all her love and you can give her every drop of yours. She may do best in a home with teenage children or no children due to her introverted nature.
Sue
Meet the lovely Sue! Not only is she drop dead gorgeous, but she is also super sweet. She can come across as a tad shy and puppyish to begin with but doesn't take her long to let her lovely personality shine bright. She may suit living as an only dog or with a canine companion of similar size. She may suit living with children from 10 years and older. Due to her puppyish nature we don't think Sue would be suitable to live in an apartment.
Ruby Friday
Meet the gorgeous Ruby! Ruby is so sweet and soft like a marshmallow. She is only a young lady who can be a bit unsure of new situations and with new people but soon recovers and acts like a super happy pup! She loves people and enjoys a cuddle. She may suit living as an only dog or with a dog of similar size to her, hopefully a dog that will play with her! She may also suit living with children aged 10 years and older.
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!
