I've always loved sight hounds. When my now husband and I were discussing getting our first dog together and suggested a greyhound, I was over the moon. We already had a cat, so were looking for a cat friendly greyhound. We knew how much GAP tested their dogs, so we checked the website all the time looking for our perfect dog. Then we found her, Daphne.

She was very timid and her eyes told us that she just wanted to be loved. Fast forward almost 4 years and Daphne is still our angel. She's gone whiter around the muzzle (from too many kisses, rather than age she says) now that she is 10, but she is still our big baby. She loved our cat from the moment she came home, and when we introduced a second greyhound, she adjusted brilliantly and now must know when her buddy is at all times. Thank you GAP for trusting is with Daphne. She is perfect and has ensured that our household will always have at least one greyhound in it.

Love Holly

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.

Wicket

4 years old

Summers will be even better with this guy on your backyard cricket team! Now his race name suggests he has "No Manners" but we can assure you that he is a sweet, affectionate boy that loves cuddles and will do almost anything for a pat! We think that this Don Bradman wannabee may suit living with a squad of 10yrs and over and another batsman (doggie friend) of any size.

Paisley

6 years old

This is Paisley, yes, she may be 6 and a half years old but that doesn't stop this pretty girl from acting like a puppy! As soon as you meet her you are guaranteed to fall completely in love with her, she has a contagious happy demeanour that you can't help to smile back at her. She loves nothing more than hanging with her people and getting all the attention. She is quite an active girl and will likely require a home that has a back yard that she can run and play in. She will also likely need mental stimulation while her people aren't around. She may be OK to live with a dog tolerant cat.

Pogo

3 years old

Meet Pogo, a handsome male greyhound with a big personality to match his long legs. He’s friendly, outgoing and wonderfully quirky, always ready to greet you with enthusiasm and charm. Pogo is still learning his manners and can be a bit boisterous, so he’ll thrive with confident handlers who can continue his training and help him become his best self. Pogo is best suited to a household with teens 15+ or adults, and he’ll need a secure backyard where he can stretch out and play. He can live as an only dog or with a robust medium to large canine companion, but he’s not suitable for homes with cats, apartments, or elderly residents. With the right environment and guidance, Pogo will reward you with loyalty, laughs, and plenty of greyhound love. Pogo has had irritable bowel syndrome while in our care at GAP. We have had much improvement using a specialty diet, with "inside out" powder on his food. This should be continued into his new home.

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.
