The greys are (still) going viral…!
The appeal of the greyhound as a pet has been evident for years now, and last weekend’s National Greyhound Adoption Day once again demonstrated they’re in demand.
Victoria’s Greyhound Adoption Program attracted another huge crowd to The Meadows track, where 31 beauties found their new besties!
For the month – when adoption fees were waived, and free food was provided – around 120 Victorian homes added a grey to their family unit.
That’s 120 lounging, loyal longdogs who have found their way into hearts and minds, and already we have the photos to prove it.
GAP’s Facebook page (GreyhoundAdoptionProgramVIC) is full of wonderful stories and photos, all of them talking about how well the new additions are fitting in.
It’s just what greyhounds do!
National Adoption Month may be close to over, but that doesn’t mean the adoptions have; there are still greys looking for a spot on your floor… have a look at the website here to see who is available now.

All greyhounds adopted from GAP are de-sexed, vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and health checked.

Isha ARP
Isha is a beautiful 3yr old greyhound with the sweetest nature and the most charming smile you’ll ever see.
She can be a little shy when meeting new people, but give her a bit of time and you’ll see her playful, energetic side come to life. Once she warms up, Isha absolutely loves being around her people and has a way of making everyone around her smile right back.
Isha is currently living in a home with two young children and two other greyhounds, so she’s well used to family life. While she has grown up around little kids, she can get a bit excited by them (purely out of love!), so she would likely be best suited to a home with older children (10 and over) who understand her gentle but enthusiastic nature.
She would be best suited to a home with medium or larger male dogs and isn’t suited to living with cats.
Isha would thrive in a quieter, more relaxed environment and we think regional living would suit her perfectly, where she can enjoy space, routine and a calm lifestyle away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a big heart and an even bigger smile, Isha might just be your girl.

Sniper ARP
Sniper is very handsome with kind eyes. He doesn’t understand how big he is sometimes and can be strong on lead. He is excitable and enthusiastic when you first meet him then calms down and is very sweet and friendly. Sniper may suit living with or without a robust canine friend that’s medium size or larger and children in their teenage years. He will likely do best in a home with a backyard so he can run and play in.
This dog is part of our Assisted Rehoming Program (ARP). We have behavioural and health assessed this lovely dog, and they will remain 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 this particular dog, and not other dogs currently in our care.
