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

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.

Cejudo

2 years old

Meet the lovely Cejudo. If he looks a little worried in his profile picture, well that is because he is! Cejudo is a young boy, with a lot to learn about pet life, he will require a special home that can help him continue to build his confidence and to understand that he will take some time to bond with his chosen family. Due to his timidity, we believe he will do best in a home with another dog of any size to show him the ropes and help him gain confidence. Cejudo has been to foster at a prison, through our Pet Partnership Prison Program, where he has had some more experience outside of kennels. Cejudo will require a quiet home with no children and will not suit living in a busy inner-city apartment.
