Sniper ARP

2 years old

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.

Prosper

5 years old

Meet the introverted and quiet boy, Prosper. Prosper is quite the lazy hound, after a short stroll around the block he is happy to sleep the day away. He has got a lovely shiny coat that looks glossy in the sun, just like you can see in his picture. He may be best in a home with children aged 10 years and older and may suit living with or without a canine pal of any size. He would do best in a home with a yard of any size, and we are happy to report that he can already walk up and down stairs, which some greyhound cannot.

Prince is a bundle of joy and love, he has a heart of gold with a goofy personality to match it. Prince loves few things more than a playtime that ends in a cuddle sesh. This boy may enjoy having a medium or large canine backup dancer, or to be the star of the show as a solo act in his forever home. Prince has recently undertaken some extra lessons to learn how to dance nicely with other dogs and is ready to hit the stage! Due to his energetic act Prince needs a home with an active lifestyle and backyard so he can show off all his favourite moves.
