Keziah & Buzz

I asked GAP if I may have a greyhound at my house, they invited me to come and look at Buzz and I brought him home.

After a few days I feel like to mother to Buzz and Buzz loves me.  I did the paperwork with GAP and now he is all mine. I have been to the dog registration office (Ballarat City Council) to officially register him and we put his middle name, Lightyear, in as well. We got him a tag with a number on it.

He is so cheeky. He thinks he will go up to the kitchen bench and he will take our tea when he has already had his tea. And in the mornings as well. When we have visitors come around and there is food on the table, he thinks it is his food, But we say “No, stay” “No way, Buzz” and he listens to that.

He has a close feeling of love with me. It is like he is my son and I am his mother.  He loves to put his head on my shoulder and knees.

He is very good walking with me and with my mum and with Maureen. Sometimes we all walk together. He makes friends when we walk around my hometown Ballarat. When we get home from our walk he loves to sleep lots.  He is loving Ballarat and he fits in really well. He likes my dad. Sometimes my dad treats dogs.

Buzz has made looks of friends with my support workers, I have Down Syndrome. Some of the support workers know a lot about greyhounds.

Buzz met my brother, Tim and his wife, Emma, from Sydney. They love him. My other brother and sister who live in Sydney are really excited about meeting Buzz when they come home with their families.

My aunty Margaret from Bacchus Marsh loves Buzz too. One day he might have a holiday with her.

Thank you GAP,

Love Keziah Glenane

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.

Willow ARP

2 years old

We promise she has ears! Willow is a sweet little girl that can be a little unsure in new environments and will need a quiet and understanding new home to let her settle in. Once she is comfortable, we are sure a cheeky and playful little pup will emerge. Due to this, a home with a backyard and older children if any may be a better fit for her. She may even like the company of another male canine companion to help show her the world, as long as they are calm and respectful whilst she is adjusting. We think the best is yet to come with dear Willow and will make someone super pleased to have her in their life.
