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

Tee Tee ARP
Tee Tee will have you “Hee Hee-ing” with her attics. Tee Tee is a stunning girl that can be a little upright when greeting and mingling with new dogs, so an owner that will understand her body language will be better for her whilst she learns about the exciting new world. Due to her funny way of socialising, we think she may be better off with a robust dog of any size that can show her how to ‘dog’. Tee Tee is still only a young girl so we think that children 10and over and a place with a yard would be more her style whilst she grows up.
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.
Katelyn ARP
Katelyn is a lovely, sweet and confident girl who is so excited for her forever home that she has her bags packed! She may be happy to live in a home with or without another robust medium or large canine companion and children aged 10 years or older. She may be happy to live with full time workers.

Marley ARP
Are you looking for a mature greyhound who may be happy to live with a smaller dog? Marley might be your lady! She is super sweet, friendly, and outgoing, and has all the love to give. Marley may be happiest in a home with children 10 years and over and might suit living with full time workers.

Mr D ARP
Hi! I’m Mr D! What’s that you say!? I’m handsome? Well, there is so much more to love about me than my handsome looks but ill point out my shiny coat, awesome pointy ears and a tail that winds up like a helicopter but most importantly I am a real sweet, friendly and fun boy that is always up for an adventure. I think I might be ok to live with children 10 and over or maybe even another medium or larger play buddy!
