Alison & Buddy

Buddy is the sweetest boy but is the goofiest craziest mini horse/giraffe!

He has settled in well to his spoilt pet life and loves all of the attention and ALL of the treats! Buddy is driven by food (any food that isn’t his) and is often found hovering around the bin or the kitchen bench which has affectionately earned him the nickname bin-chicken!

Other than finding him circling the kitchen you can mostly find him snuggled on the sofa (or on top of a human if there’s one available)! He has some manners that he needs to work on but other than that he is the goodest boy and we love him!

Love Alison

She fit in very quickly in the family. For the first week or so, she was a little unsure, and it took about that long for her personality to start shining through.

Jayde

3 years old

Jayde is a sweet and pretty greyhound with a happy, outgoing nature and a heart full of love. Social and affectionate, she enjoys being around people and is always ready to share her enthusiasm with everyone she meets. Jayde has a fun, puppyish outlook on life and absolutely loves stretching her legs with a good zoomie session in the backyard. She is an active girl who embraces life with excitement, although her impulsive nature means she can sometimes act before she thinks and will benefit from ongoing guidance and training. Jayde is best suited to a home with adults or children aged 10 years and over who can manage her energetic and sometimes exuberant behaviour. She is not suitable for homes with elderly or frail people, nor can she live with cats. Jayde would be happiest as an only dog or with a suitable canine friend who can match her confidence and activity level, but she is not suited to living with older or fragile dogs. A secure backyard is essential for this active girl, and apartment living is not suitable. In the right home, Jayde will reward her family with endless affection, companionship and plenty of joyful zoomies.

Gilly

5 years old

Meet Gilly, a tall, irresistible greyhound with model looks and a personality to match. He’s as sweet as they come, friendly to everyone he meets, and always keen to make a new friend—especially if that friend happens to have treats. Outgoing, personable, and just the right amount of cheeky, Gilly has mastered the art of charming his way into both hearts and snack cupboards. He’s equally happy showing off a burst of zoomies or settling in close for some well-earned relaxation. Gilly would thrive in a home with children aged 10 and over who can appreciate his gentle but enthusiastic nature. He’s not suited to apartment living, as he enjoys having space to stretch his long legs, and he may be a bit too lively for an elderly household. If you’re looking for a handsome, affectionate companion who brings energy, warmth, and a healthy appreciation for treats, Gilly could be the perfect addition to your family.

Thyme ARP

5 years old

Thyme is a lovely female greyhound with a calm, gentle presence that makes her an absolute pleasure to be around. Sweet, outgoing, and deeply affectionate, she enjoys human company and rewards her people with plenty of love and quiet companionship. Whether she’s relaxing by your side or greeting you with a soft, happy demeanor, Thyme’s easy-going nature makes her a wonderful addition to a peaceful home.

She may suit a range of living situations, including apartments, and may even be a great match for an elderly owner looking for a devoted companion. Thyme may be suitable for a home with children aged 5 and over, and she may like either to be the only dog or with a suitable canine companion. With her gentle temperament and affectionate personality, Thyme is ready to bring warmth and calm companionship to her forever home.

Thyme 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 no other dogs currently in our care.

Pauly

5 years old

Pauly is the definition of quiet charm — a calm, polite greyhound with a gentle soul and a heart full of sweetness. He carries himself with effortless grace, taking life in stride and bringing a peaceful presence to those around him. Pauly is personable without being overwhelming, enjoying companionship and affection while remaining relaxed and easygoing. Having completed behavioural rehabilitation training, he has lovely manners and a reliable, thoughtful nature that makes him a wonderful companion for a laid-back home. Pauly would suit a home with adults or families with children aged 5 and over who can appreciate his calm temperament. He is best as an only dog or could live alongside a compatible medium to large dog, but he is not suited to homes with small dogs or cats. Due to his gentle but steady nature, he is not suited to an elderly household. For those looking for a sweet, steady companion who brings quiet joy rather than chaos, Pauly is ready to settle in and become a devoted and loving friend. Pauly has previously had a Hock fracture repaired prior to GAP entry he bares weight on it, and he has done a course of pentosan.

Pax

6 years old

P is for polite and personable, A is for affectionate and authentic and X is for Xtra handsome! He is all ears for his new family and can't wait to meet you. Pax has recently been doing some extra behavioral work with the GAP team and has scrubbed up on his skills ready for pet life. We think he may suit living with or without another medium or larger canine friend. We also think he may suit living with children 5 and over and with full time workers.
