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

Lulu ARP
You will go 'lala' over Lulu! She is stunning, puppyish and a tad shy but oh so sweet. She will show you her puppyish side once she starts to settle in and you will just fall in love. We think this pretty girl may suit living with another medium or larger male companion and maybe children 10 and over. Anice yard to relax in will be great for Lulu as well.
This dog is part of our Assisted Rehoming Program (ARP). Wehave behavioural and health assessed this lovely dog, and they will remain withtheir racing owners until they find an adoptive home, at which point they arebrought back into GAP. This means that should you be interested in adoptingthis dog, we are bringing the dog into GAP on the understanding that you willbe adopting this particular dog, and not other dogs currently in ourcare.
Honeybee ARP
Could you ‘bee’ any sweeter than a Honeybee? Nope! Miss Honeybee is so hoping she will find her field of flowers to call home soon. She can be a bit reserved to start with but you will soon see that sweet side ooze out of her as she settles in. She will look at you for guidance and really loves being told she is a “good girl!” so someone that is willing to give her some time and reassurance as she becomes a pet would be great. We think she may suit homes that have another calm male dog of any size and older children that will give her space to adjust.

Ernie ARP
Are you looking for an Ernie to your Bert? A new bestie to go on adventures with? Well look no further because this handsome young man is ready to become your best mate. Ernie is a stunning, shiny boy that is super friendly, outgoing and affectionate. He likes to live an active lifestyle so someone that’s looking for a friend to join you exploring places look no further! Ernie may suit living with children 5 and over and with another medium or larger canine buddy, he would very much like a yard to play in as well.

Yvonne ARP
Yvonne is just the happiest girl who is full of personality! She will look at you with those stunning gooey caramel eyes and wag that tail till she gets more pats and loving. Check out her hilarious “mid shake” photo! We think she may suit children 5 and over and another medium or larger male companion. She may also suit living in an apartment type setting!

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. I think I might be ok to live with children 10 and over or maybe even another medium or larger play buddy!

Kim ARP
This stunning girl is a real leaner! She will lean on you for pats any opportunity she gets and we are all here for it. This cutie is a quiet and gentle girl that can sometimes be a little shy but she tries her hardest. We think she may thrive in a home that has a bit of a yard to play in and children 10 and over that will love to play with her but also happy to give her space when she wants to just chill. She may also be ok living with another male canine companion of any size.

Pershing ARP
If you are looking for a smallish male greyhound, well look no further than Pershing! Pershing can act like an excitable goofy puppy upon first meeting him but then settles down and is a friendly and affectionate boy. Pershing may suit living with or without a canine pal of similar size and children aged 10 years and older. Due to his puppyish nature, he wouldn’t be suited to live in an apartment or with elderly.
