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

Joe ARP

4 years old

Happy Joe! This handsome young boy is a friendly and personable young boy that loves his food, toys and zoomies. Joe has had a lot of experience being a pet and is ready to spread his love and joy to his new family. Joe may suit living in a home with children 10 and over and another canine companion of any size. As Joe is still a bundle of fun we think if he has a smaller play buddy they would be better being a bit robust as he loves to zoom! Joe would appreciate a nice backyard to do his sillies in and make you laugh everyday with his antics.

Foxy

4 years old

Meet the fun girl, Foxy! Foxy will have her people in fits of laughter with her antics! She is very playful, puppyish and she does 'tornados' (spins) on the spot while on lead when she is excited! We think she may be able to learn how to sit fairly easily on command, as she does it naturally- she sits infront of you and lovingly looks up into your eyes awaiting some affection, you won't be able to resist her! Foxy may suit living with or without a canine brother of similar size and children aged 10 years and older. We feel she will likely do best in a home with a backyard so she can do the full extent of her tornados and zoomies!

Old Man

7 years old

Don't let his name fool you, this Old Man still has a lot of love left to give and is wise beyond his years! Old Man is a sweet gentleman with a heart of gold and a sweet soul. He is incredibly affectionate and polite, and even better he may be very comfortable in a home with a feline companion. This gentle boy can be a bit nervous around other dogs with high energy, so we think he may suit being the star of the show as an only dog or may enjoy another calm greyhound to keep him company. Old Man would like a quiet home with no children.
