Glen, Bronwyn & Sabi
Almost 13 years ago, we adopted a very sweet greyhound that was called Emma.
She was whelped on 12/3/2011, and we picked her up from the Seymour site just a week before Christmas in 2012. It was love at first sight. She had funny ears that flopped backwards, and she had the sweetest, shyest nature. We thought the name Emma was not fancy enough for this gorgeous girl, so we renamed her Sabine or Sabi as we mostly called her.
We loved her to the moon and back and she really was the best companion anyone could ask for. She was so gentle with all my great nieces and nephews and was loved by all who met her. We used to take her into the aged care facility where my dad lived, and the residents loved her. We took her everywhere we went. She loved the car and the beach. She was so obedient and clever but also funny and engaging.
Sadly, she passed away aged 14 and a half last Monday. She had a rare tumour develop in her upper jaw. They could not tell us if it was a fast-growing cancer or a slow-growing cancer. She then had vestibular disease, but it didn't resolve, and it started looking like she had a brain stem cancer as she was losing weight and symptoms were becoming worse. Despite all this, she was brave until the end. We had a wonderful day with her last Monday until the vet came to our home and helped her cross the rainbow bridge.
Thank you, gap for all the amazing work you do with these absolutely beautiful dogs. We feel so fortunate to have had nearly 13 years of joy with one of your best.
Love Glen and Bronwyn

Puddles
Jagger ARP
He's got the moves like Jagger, he has the swag like Jagger but we think our Jagger is much more handsome! This friendly, outgoing and affectionate young lad is ready for his forever home and we cant wait for him to find it. If you have wanted a fun, happy go lucky dog then Jagger is your man. He may suit homes with or without another medium or larger canine friend and children 10 and over. He may also suit living with full time workers (more time to work on his next big hit)!
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.
Zoodles ARP
Zoodles is a quiet, calm and polite girl with a sweet, affectionate nature. She’s personable and still has a touch of puppyish charm, making her a lovely mix of gentle and playful. Zoodles may suit living on her own or small, medium or large dogs, and could be suitable for a home with children aged 10+.

William ARP
Isn’t he just handsome! William is for sure a looker but under that stunning coat is a soft, sweet but shy young man that will need sometime and patience in his new home whilst he learns the lay of the land. He may do best in a quiet and predicable home that will let him come out of his shell in his own time. William will do best with a home that has a yard for him to relax in whilst he transitions as a pet and maybe another a dog of any size. If there are children in the home, then respectful teens (15 and over) would be better for him. Will you be sweet William’s forever home?
