Christina & Zack

We were so excited to foster Zack and see if he could be a good companion for our staffy, Phoebe.

As first time greyhound owners, we were so intrigued by Zack’s personality and demeanour, as he is so calm and quiet compared to our staffy. We quickly realised that Zack is a huge baby who just wants lots of cuddles and to be with people.

Zack and Phoebe have become an inseparable pair, like a couple of dog detectives investigating what’s happening in the kitchen. They are in many ways total opposites which has made their bond and friendship even more delightful and fun to watch.

Zack also has been the favourite of our eight year old son Conrad, who loves how inquisitive, gentle and sweet Zack is. We love our walks together and Zack is really good on the lead.

As Zack slowly got familiar with us and our home, he has showed his playful side. He is the ultimate welcoming party at the front door and his favourite thing to do is play with and munch apples from our tree! Seeing him so happy has been a true joy.

It didn’t take much time for us to fall in love with Zack and make the decision to adopt him. GAP were amazing and support every step of the way. It’s been one of the happiest and rewarding decisions we have made.

Love Christina & Family

Mandy & Elley

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.

Lilian

2 years old

No items found.
Meet Lilian, a loveable, slightly clumsy girl with a heart full of affection. Lilian has a puppyish and playful nature that makes her so endearing, paired with a wonderfully submissive temperament. She can be a little uncoordinated at times which just adds to her charm. Lilian could suit a home as an only dog where she can soak up all the love, or she may be suitable to live with dogs of any size. She will need a home with a secure backyard to play and burn the playful energy. Lilian may be suitable to live with children ages 10+.

Waffles

4 years old

Meet the sweet and affectionate Waffles. She is a true introvert on first meeting her but soon warms up and is your loyal shadow. Due to her anxieties we feel she would do best in a home with a confident canine companion to show her the ropes and help her inner brave shine through. She will likely do best in a quiet home (and neighbourhood) and with no children or children in their teenage years.

Floyd

2 years old

How adorable is Floyd? He is a lovely, quiet, and personable boy who can be submissive at times. He is a young boy who will be looking for an adopter who can show him pet life and build his confidence in the wider world. He may be suited to live in a home with or without another canine companion and full time workers. He may suit living with children aged 10 years and over, but he would prefer not to live in an apartment due to his age and puppyish nature.

Trixie

6 years old

Have you seen ears as adorable as Trixie's? Well we think they are pretty divine. Sweet Trixie is ready and waiting for her pawfect match to come and take her home to a home that will take her on adventures, shower her in her favourite things (especially toys) and laugh everyday at her antics. This girl has a real zest for life and her age isn't slowing her down! We think Trixie may suit living with another medium or larger canine buddy and children 5 and over. Even though she is a happy go lucky girl, we think she may suit living in an apartment as long as she gets plenty of daily enrichment and walks.

Isha ARP

3 years old

Isha is a beautiful 3yr old greyhound with the sweetest nature and the most charming smile you’ll ever see.

She can be a little shy when meeting new people, but give her a bit of time and you’ll see her playful, energetic side come to life. Once she warms up, Isha absolutely loves being around her people and has a way of making everyone around her smile right back.

Isha is currently living in a home with two young children and two other greyhounds, so she’s well used to family life. While she has grown up around little kids, she can get a bit excited by them (purely out of love!), so she would likely be best suited to a home with older children (10 and over) who understand her gentle but enthusiastic nature.

She would be best suited to a home with medium or larger male dogs and isn’t suited to living with cats.

Isha would thrive in a quieter, more relaxed environment and we think regional living would suit her perfectly, where she can enjoy space, routine and a calm lifestyle away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a big heart and an even bigger smile, Isha might just be your girl.

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.
