Holly & Daphne

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.

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

Rapunzel

6 years old

Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your paws! Looking for your fairy tail dog? Then look no further. This sweet lady has recently come back from spending Christmas in a home and is ready for her next adventure. Her carer said that she was well behaved and loves to relax on her bed and even doesn't mind the odd roach! Rapunzel is still learning about other breeds of dog so we think if she was to live with another canine brother it will be best that they are medium or larger. But since she is so laid back and sweet, children 5 and over may be suitable. We also think she may be ok to laze around in an apartment (or should we say tower?) - as long as she rewrites history and is allowed to come out of her tower a few times a day to grace the world with her presence and go on sniffari's! Rapunzel has previously fractured her left hock, which has osteoarthritis. She has been given a course of pentosan injections to help support the joint.

If you're looking for a fun-loving, loyal companion who's always up for a laugh, King's your guy!
