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
