I have been a foster carer with GAP for several years and just recently celebrated having my 10th foster, which is a milestone I’m so proud of.

I have been a foster carer with GAP for several years and just recently celebrated having my 10th foster, which is a milestone I’m so proud of. The journey has been incredibly rewarding, each dog is unique and works their way not only into your home, but your heart as well.

It’s bittersweet giving them back after the foster period ends - but seeing them go on to get adopted and live their best life is incredible and I feel privileged to have played a part. Fostering also allowed me to adopt my own greyhound ‘Daisy’. I still remember nervously calling up GAP and asking, “Can I keep her?” and getting so much support from the team, she was the best Christmas gift ever. Overall, fostering has been a life changing experience - the photo is me getting ready to take my first foster “Minnie” home, a sweet senior lady who is single handedly responsible for the foster journey I’m on.

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.

Bear

5 years old

Bear is a friendly, outgoing greyhound with a confident and affectionate nature. He loves being around people, seeks eye contact, and enjoys leaning into his handler for attention and cuddles. Bear is eager to please and forms strong bonds with those around him, making him a wonderful companion. Bear has had a soft pad surrounding his elbow called a hygroma. It has healed, but would benefit from ongoing soft bedding and regular checks with your vet. Bear is looking for a home with another greyhound for company and may be suitable to live with calm medium to large dogs. He may be suited to live with children aged 10 years and over.

Xandi ARP

3 years old

Sweet Xandi is a pretty and gentle soul who is looking for a patient, understanding home where she can build her confidence at her own pace. Having previously lived inside and even enjoyed sleeping on her owner's bed, she is familiar with home life and appreciates the comfort and security of being close to her people. Quiet, sweet and personable, Xandi is easy to handle and forms lovely connections through soft eye contact and her affectionate nature. While she can be timid and a little anxious in new situations, she always tries her best and responds beautifully to kindness and reassurance.

She would thrive with an owner who can give her the time, patience and encouragement she needs to settle in and feel secure. Xandi may suit living with or without a canine companion of any size and could be well suited to a home with children aged 15 years and older who can respect her gentle and sensitive nature.

If you're interested in adopting this dog, we'll arrange for them to come into GAP specifically for you to meet and complete the adoption process.

He can be enthusiastic when heading out for a walk, but once his initial excitement has passed, he settles nicely and walks well on lead. Cowboy may suit a home with or without a canine companion of a similar size and would likely enjoy living with older children in their teenage years.

Russia

7 years old

Meet Russia, a sweet and affectionate greyhound whose zest for life is guaranteed to make you smile. This enthusiastic girl loves a good zoomie session and has a wonderfully goofy nature that brings plenty of fun and laughter to her day. Russia is still working on her manners and can get a little carried away when excitement takes over, so she'll do best in a home with children aged 10+ or adults who can help guide her as she learns. She could happily live as an only dog or with a canine companion, and may even suit a cat-friendly home. Russia is not suited to apartment living and would love a home with space to stretch her legs, share her affection, and show off her joyful personality.

Frank

6 years old

Meet Frank, a confident and outgoing greyhound who knows exactly how to charm his way into your heart. This friendly boy loves making eye contact, as if he’s checking in with you to say, “Did you see how awesome I am just then?” Frank brings a big personality wherever he goes, paired with a genuine affection for people and a zest for life. He’s completed behavioural rehabilitation training focused on learning appropriate behaviour around other dogs, and he’s made great progress—though he’ll still benefit from a home willing to continue guiding him, especially when it comes to polishing up his manners. Frank is best suited to a home with adults or kids aged 10+, where his enthusiasm and size will be well matched. He needs a medium-to-large canine friend, as he loves companionship, but he isn’t suitable for homes with small dogs or cats. Due to his energy and continued learning, he’s not the right fit for elderly households. With a bit of structure, patience, and plenty of affection, Frank will reward his family with loyalty, fun, and that unmistakable greyhound grin that makes every day brighter.
