Joy & Livia

I have been fostering Livia for six days, with the hope of adoption.

Having Livia in my life has been a true delight. We are bonding, playing, enjoying walks, and meeting new people. Livia is truly a special companion. I am filled with happiness. She is calm, gentle, affectionate, and obedient. This has been one of the most wonderful decisions I have ever made. I am so pleased that Livia is with me.

Love Joy

Romeo came into our lives at the end of January after things hadn’t quite worked out in a previous home. We were told he just needed a chance, and a bit of time, and those words couldn’t have been more true.

Meet Tom, the gentle giant. Tom is a handsome, friendly boy who can be cautious at times. Tom is personable and is sure to melt your heart. Tom may suit living with small, medium or large dogs, tom may be ok with kids 10+. Because of his nature he will need a quiet home.

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.

Meet the quirky Quagga! Quagga is a funny boy who no doubt will have his family in fits of laughter with his antics! Quagga is a friendly boy, who thinks he is a puppy at times and doesn't know his strength. He soon calms down and is a total love bug. He should be easily trained as he is highly food motivated. Quagga may suit living with or without a canine friend of any size and children aged 15 years and older.

Echo ARP

4 years old

Can you hear an Echo? Its saying “Hey you! I’m ready to be adopted, adopted, adopted…..”. Ok enough with the cheesy jokes. But seriously, this girl is a super sweet, personable, quiet, polite and a little sprinkle of puppy. She can be a little shy in new environments, but she soon relaxes and shows her charm. We think she may suit living in a home with children 10 and over and possibly with a play buddy of any size as long as they are willing to play with a greyhound. We also think she may suit living with full timeworkers.

This dog is part of our Assisted Rehoming Program (ARP). We have behavioural and health assessed this lovely dog, and they will remain with their racing owners until they find an adoptive home, at which point they are brought back into GAP.

Izzy ARP

3 years old

How pretty is this little girl! Izzy is a sweet and personable girl that can be a little unsure and shy in new environments. She may take sometime coming out of her shell in her new home but once she is apart of the family we think she will thrive. A home with children 10 and over and respectful of boundaries may be ok and another male dog of any size. A place with an outdoor area for her to relax in will be ideal for her as she comes out of her shell. This lovely dog is not suitable for a home with cats.

Reindeer ARP

5 years old

She may not be leading Santa’s sleigh like Rudolf but this quiet achiever is still just as important! She is a shy girl that we think will come out of her shell in a home that understands she just needs time to learn how to be a pet and patience to go at her pace. A quieter home with children 15 and over that are respectful of her boundaries maybe ok and somewhere with a nice yard that she can go and relax in. She may also benefit from a male friend that is medium or larger to help her transition into pet life. This lovely dog is not suitable for a home with cats.

Britney ARP is a super sweet little lady who can be a little shy when she first meets you but comes out of her shell quickly. She is super quiet and easy to be around and may suit living with children aged 10years and over. She may suit living in a home with or without another medium or large canine companion.

Owen

5 years old

No items found.
Owen is a big cuddly boy that loves attention and loves a good lean on you to make sure that you give him more pats. Owen can be a bit of a boof head and the fun-loving one in the kennels and we think he will make a lovely pet. He has recently completed his training in GAP's behaviour program and is ready for his forever home. Owen may suit living with another medium or larger dog as a companion, as long as they are respectful of his space when he is playing with his toys as Owen thinks toys are the BEST and doesn't like to share them. Owen has injured his hock in past, and we believe he may get arthritis in this joint as he ages. This doesn't bother him. This lovely dog is not suitable for a home with cats.

Bing ARP

3 years old

Bing is a lovely friendly, personable boy who can have a soft side at times. He tries his hardest to please, but sometimes he can get a little overwhelmed. He would benefit from a family who can build his confidence up and show him that the world isn't such a scary place. He would prefer to live in a quiet home in a quiet neighbourhood. He may be happy to live with a calm, polite dog of any size, though he may also be happy living as an only dog. Bing may be happy living with children aged 10 years and over. This lovely dog is not suitable for a home with cats.
