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
Meet our dogs ready for adoption
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.
