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

Mandy & Elley

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.

Socks

2 years old

Socks is one of the loveliest little girls you will ever meet! She is super sweet, personable, affectionate, and loves everyone she meets! She has had her leg amputated whilst at GAP and she has dealt with it like a champion! The only thing that really slows her down is stairs (but that's completely understandable!) Socks will be looking for a home with or without another canine companion of any size and children aged 5 years and over. She would prefer a home with a backyard, but may suit an older owner. If you have a 3 legged-shaped hole in your heart, please consider taking this absolutely adorable girl!

Mr D ARP

Hi! I’m Mr D! What’s that you say!? I’m handsome? Well, there is so much more to love about me than my handsome looks but ill point out my shiny coat, awesome pointy ears and a tail that winds up like a helicopter but most importantly I am a real sweet, friendly and fun boy that is always up for an adventure.

Gus (Bonded with Oran)

6 years old

This is Gus (green collar). He is Oran's emotional support boyfriend who she absolutely adores. Gus is a super outgoing boy who is always smiling and happy to see you! He is the first to meet you in the morning and loves cuddles. Unlike Oran who is an introvert, Gus is a massive extrovert! He has spent some time in an adoptive home and a foster home and he has done really well. Both Gus and Oran have been waiting a long time for their forever home and they would absolutely love to find a couch for Christmas. Have you got a Gus and Oran sized hole in your heart that needs filling? Gus and Oran will be looking for a quiet home with no children, but may be ok for full time workers. Gus is not cat tolerant.

Oran (bonded with Gus)

3 years old

Oran (pink collar) is a super sweet but shy girl who has come along way since entering GAP. She has been out to foster care a couple of times so has some experience living in a home. She has bonded to Gus who is her emotional support friend, so they will be both looking for a home together. Oran is toilet trained, walks perfectly on the lead, and is super quiet. She knows how to walk up and down stairs well and travels nicely in the car. She does get worried in new situations and will be looking for a quiet home with no children as she finds them a bit scary! During her foster period, Oran has developed a liking for watching TV, so she hopes her forever home will have a double seater couch that she and her boyfriend Gus can sleep on and live her life in luxury. She may be happy to live with full time workers. Are you ready to fill that massive Gus and Oran sized hole in your heart? Oran is not cat tolerant.
