Ange
Ange has been part of the GAP family for over 20 years, starting her journey back in 2003 with her first “foster fail” – the legendary Roger.
What’s your name, how do you volunteer with GAP, and when did you first start volunteering with us?
Ange Hamilton - Community engagement volunteer. First foster dog failure Roger in 2003 Lochie 2nd foster fail & then decided it was clear I couldn't send foster dogs back ! and instead decided to do community engagement as it was safer ! with my girls Dash, Miss Mo and now Maisie who have all been / are GAP volunteer girls !
What made you decide to become a GAP volunteer?
Wanted to be a part of showing how great our Greyhounds are as pets and helping create awareness of the breed and what they have to offer also the GAP program and all it does to re-home & match the right Greyhound to the right forever family
What’s your favourite part of being a GAP volunteer?
Watching them get their shiny new green collars on adoption days - it's a brilliant feeling !!
What’s your best story or memory from your time volunteering with us?
The best moments are the kids at events meeting our dogs & the many kids over the years that have been scared of dogs in general & the first dog they end up patting is one of our Greyhounds and that's it - they only have eyes for Greyhounds !!
What would you say to anyone thinking of volunteering with GAP?
Volunteering is one of my loves and I'll talk Greyhounds all day to anyone who's interested and wants to hear about the dogs and the GAP program ! The friendships we've made along the way with other volunteers are awesome and very special. From the foster carers to us handling dogs up for adoption or our own dogs at events - so many people are involved with every dog along the way to find them the right fit for their new home - it's a great feeling to be apart of !
