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.

Love Jessica

Little Ted

3 years old

Little Ted has the cutest ears that you have ever seen, they sometimes go like they do in the photo, other times they stand on top of his head like a party hat. Little Ted is not little; he is an average size male greyhound. Little Ted is quite the introvert and is anxious and submissive to new people and environments, but we feel with time and patience from the owner, Little Ted will blossom into his true self. Little Ted may suit living with or without calm/respectful canine companion of similar size. Little Ted would be best suited to a home with a backyard. Due to his timidity, we think Little Ted would thrive best in a home without children and in a quiet neighbourhood/home.

Fergus

2 years old

This lively, playful boy is full of energy and still very much a puppy at heart. He’s enthusiastic about life and loves to be involved in fun activities and adventures. Fergus will need a family who understands his need to burn off energy and can help guide him to play nicely. He’s also incredibly sweet and affectionate, always ready for a good pat and scratch. Due to his size and exuberance, Fergus is not suitable for a home with young children, but he may suit living with older teens who can handle his enthusiasm. He could also enjoy having another dog companion, provided they’re not old or frail. A backyard is a must for this spirited young man—he’ll thrive with space to run and play! This lovely dog is not suitable to live with a cat.
