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.

Leon

If you have been searching for the golden boy of your dreams – then the search is over! Leon (or Leroy to his mates) know him as the fun, outgoing, life of the party guy that just loves to make everyone laugh, hang out with his mates and doesn’t mind hitting the gym (throwing his toys) to keep himself spunky for the ladies! He has a super adorable curly tail that turns heads in the street and people just want to be around him! We think he may suit living with children 10+ and maybe another medium or larger gym buddy. He certainly has requested his own work out space though (backyard) so he can show you all his cool moves!
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!
