Not another zoom meeting – this is a ZOOMIE meeting!
No, not that kind of zoom – no disembodied faces on the screen and endless calls of “you’re on mute!” – this was the zoom of the quickest athletes in the world – Greyhounds! They do ‘zoomie’ meetings, right there in your office.
GAP greys have been taking requests, and lately there have been an increasing number of invitations to visit CBD office buildings, just to add a bit of long-dog love to the day. Last week it was the turn of the workers at 839 Collins Street in Docklands to be introduced to Chester (fawn) and Xhale (black), with their minders Gabby, Mia and Hannah.
GAP Adoption Manager Meagan Thomas says it’s no real surprise these dogs draw a crowd. “They never fail to attract attention, and charm everyone they meet. At this event we even had one lady who brought her own treats from home. Apparently, it was the most popular activation the office has had since covid.”
“It’s also a great distraction for the workers and brightens their day. Despite thinking their management might not appreciate the distraction, it’s the management that organises our visits.”
Meagan adds “We can’t wait to do more of these visits. We never get tired of seeing how much our greyhounds create smiles and warm hearts. Give us a call and we’ll see if we can arrange a zoomie meeting!”
Any business or property managers who would like to arrange a zoomie meeting should contact gap@grv.org.au

Pedro ARP
Pedro is a friendly, outgoing and confident greyhound with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Affectionate and personable, he loves spending time with his people and is always happy to make new friends. One of Pedro’s favourite things in the world is a good butt scratch, and he'll happily lean in for more when he finds the perfect spot! With his easy-going nature, Pedro may suit a home either as an only dog or with a medium to large canine companion. He could also thrive in a family with respectful children aged 10 years and over who are keen to share plenty of love, attention and cuddles with this charming boy.
This dog is part of our Assisted Rehoming Program (ARP). ARP dogs are kept with their racing owners until they find an adoptive home, at which point they are brought back into GAP. This means that should you be interested in adopting this dog, we are bringing the dog into GAP on the understanding that you will be adopting them. As such, you will not be able to meet any other dogs, as you otherwise would be able to.
King ARP
Kingis a handsome, friendly and incredibly personable greyhound whose goofy, larger-than-life personality is guaranteed to keep his family smiling. This tall, affectionate boy loves being part of the action and has a playful, puppyish side that shines through in his hilarious zoomies and quirky antics. While King can be a little anxious at times, he always tries his best and gains confidence with patient support from the people he loves. Full of character, charm and plenty of goofy moments, King may suit a home with or without a medium or large canine companion and could do well with respectful children aged 10 years and over who will appreciate his fun-loving spirit and kind heart.

Bruno ARP
Bruno is a handsome greyhound with a gentle soul and a heart full of affection. Quiet, polite, and incredibly sweet, he enjoys spending time with his people and wins friends wherever he goes with his calm, personable nature. Bruno is confident in many situations, but like many greyhounds, he can occasionally be a little unsure and looks to his trusted humans for reassurance and support.
Friendly and easy-going, Bruno may happily settle into a home as an only dog where he can soak up all the attention, or he may enjoy living alongside another dog of any size. His kind and gentle temperament also makes him a lovely companion for families with children aged 5 years and older. If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate friend with plenty of charm, Bruno could be the perfect match.
