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 !

Frankie

3 years old

Frankie is just a really lovely boy. He walks nicely on the lead, is calm and placid, and has a gentle and friendly nature. He should adapt to most homes with ease. He may even suit apartment living due to his docile nature. Frankie would likely be ok with children aged 5 or older and may be fine with full time workers.

Angel

2 years old

Suitably name is this gift from above, Angel. Although she might like to think she has wings, she doesn't, but she can certainly zoom around with the illusion that her feet are not touching the ground! She is super sweet, affectionate, playful, puppyish and excitable. A true extrovert! Her coat is stunning and will be turning heads wherever she goes! We think she may suit homes that has a backyard (for all though crazy burst of energy), children 10 and over and with or without another medium or larger male companion (as long as they are ok with a silly, playful, zooming partner!).

Blaze

7 years old

This distinguished gentleman is ready for his new life as a couch potato, a handsome one at that! He is quiet, calm, gentle and very sweet but can find new environments a little overwhelming - but he does give everything a go with a gentle leader by his side! He may suit living with children that are respectful around dogs that need some space to settle in so 10 and over or even a home with just a couple of adults, he may even be ok with another medium or larger buddy to show him the ropes of pet life. Rusty has an auto-immune disease of the eyes which is treated with daily eye drops. THIS LOVELY DOG WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION AT OUR UPCOMING RSPCA ADOPTION DAY ON SATURDAY 21ST FEB!

Freya

3 years old

Meet Freya, a sweet and affectionate greyhound with a puppyish spirit 😊. This impulsive girl's got a playful streak – she's always up for a snuggle and loves to have fun. Freya's a great companion who'll thrive with people who can keep up with her energy. Freya suits households with kids 10+ or adult-only homes, and she'd love to be the only dog or live with a medium to large dog who shares her playful vibe – no cats, please! No apartments for this lady, she needs space to stretch her legs, and no elderly caregivers, she's a bit too bouncy 🌳. If you're looking for a lively, loving companion who's always up for an adventure, Freya's your girl! Freya has a low-grade heart murmur, which doesn't affect her day-to-day life, or require medicating.

Pirate is SMIRKING with excitement that he may be finding his very own home soon. He has cute ears that don't know which way they want to sit, as you can see by his profile pic.

This cute pup may suit living with or without a canine brother of medium/large size and children aged 5 years and older. She may even be OK to live in an apartment as long as he gets her steps up, her goal is 3,000 a day! Yindi has some arthritis in her wrist, which may need some management in the future.
