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

Didi Hill ARP

4 years old

Didi Hill is a beautiful girl, inside and out. She is an introvert and can be a little shy with new people and new dogs, but with time and patience, we believe her inner confidence will shine through. She has the cutest ears and will make your heart melt. Didi Hill may suit living with or without a calm/respectful canine brother of any size and children aged 10 years+. She may do best in a home with a quiet neighbourhood.

This greyhound is part of our Assisted Rehoming Program (ARP). Through this program, greyhounds stay with their current owners while they wait to find their perfect forever home.

If you're interested in adopting this dog, we'll arrange for them to come into GAP specifically for you to meet and complete the adoption process. Since the dog is being brought into the program based on your interest, we ask that applicants be reasonably confident this is the greyhound they'd like to welcome into their family. Unlike our standard adoption process, you won't be able to meet multiple dogs at the same time however our team will share lots of information about this greyhound to help you determine if they're the perfect match for your family.

Scooby

6 years old

Everyone needs a Scooby-doo in their life! He is fun-loving, happy, bouncy extrovert that is ready to Scooby doo-bee-do! We think this handsome boy would be ok with a family with children 15 and over and ready to play and also another medium or larger canine friend. No apartments for this boy as he cant wait to show you his zoomies and play in the yard. No elderly or frail dogs or people either as he is still learning how to control his enthusiasm to life.
