Our kennels are bursting at the seams!
Our Christmas Foster campaign was so successful, we thought Easter might be another good time to ask you to open your homes to one of our lovely greyhounds so they can spend Easter in a home instead of our kennels.
The Easter holiday is a time for relaxation and fun, spent with family and friends. Our mission is to place as many of our greyhounds into homes for the holiday season to be a part of a family. Can you help?
We’re looking for all types of homes; full time workers, part time workers, families, medium/large dogs, or no other dogs. Unfortunately, we will not have greyhounds who are suitable to be living with cats, small dogs or in apartments.
We have our regular Melbourne foster runs happening every Wednesday and Saturday in April, with the last pick-up day being Wednesday 5th April from Sandown or Easter Saturday 8th April from Tullamarine.
Returns will need to be organised for the first week after Easter from the 15th April with the last return date being 22nd April.
Specific pick-up options are:
• Saturday 1st April, Sandown Greyhound Club, View Road Car Park, Springvale from 10:30am-11.00am
• Saturday 1st April, GAP Tullamarine, 444 Melrose Drive, Tullamarine from 1pm-1.30pm
• Wednesday 5th April, Sandown Greyhound Club, View Road Car Park, Springvale from 11.15am -11.45am
• Wednesday 5th April, GAP Tullamarine, 444 Melrose Drive, Tullamarine from 1pm-1.30pm
• Saturday 8th April, GAP Tullamarine, 444 Melrose Drive, Tullamarine from 10am-3.30pm
Specific return options are:
• Saturday 15th April, Sandown Greyhound Club, View Road Car Park, Springvale from 10:30am -11.00am
• Saturday 15th April, GAP Tullamarine, 444 Melrose Drive, Tullamarine from 1pm-1.30pm
• Wednesday 19th April, Sandown Greyhound Club, View Road Car Park, Springvale from 11.15am -11.45am
• Wednesday 19th April, GAP Tullamarine, 444 Melrose Drive, Tullamarine from 1pm-1.30pm
• Saturday 22nd April, Sandown Greyhound Club, View Road Car Park, Springvale from 10:30am -11.00am
• Saturday 22nd April, GAP Tullamarine, 444 Melrose Drive, Tullamarine from 1pm-1.30pm
• GAP Seymour, 298 Goulburn Valley Highway Seymour or Tullamarine by appointment Monday to Saturday 9am-3.45pm (if you choose this option, please let us know in the email your preferred date and time).
If you would like to help us out on our mission, please get in contact Christine at fostercare@grv.org.au and we’ll send you an Easter Foster Care Agreement to sign which contains a few questions to help us match you with the perfect Easter Egg-noodle dog.
All dogs going out to non-foster care volunteers and public will have passed their GAP assessments and will be ready for adoption.
How many fosters can we get into homes over Easter?
Let’s do this, friends!
Meet our dogs ready for adoption
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.
Alure

Sam Iam
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!
