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

Lizzy ARP

2 years old

They say some dogs can just give you a look and its love a first sight, well those eyes will certainly capture the hearts of a fair few we think! This pretty girl is Lizzy, she is a social butterfly with lovely manners and is very calm and polite (there is a little bit of puppy in there somewhere though for special occasions!). We think she may suit households with children 5 and over or maybe even a person looking for a friend to spend their golden years with. She may even suit living in an apartment type setting as she is more on the chill side. If she lives with a canine brother then something medium or larger may be suited to her.

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. This means that should you be interested in adopting this dog, we are bringing the dog into GAP on the understanding that you will be adopting this particular dog, and not other dogs currently in our care.

Tee Tee ARP

2 years old

Tee Tee will have you “Hee Hee-ing” with her attics. Tee Tee is a stunning girl that can be a little upright when greeting and mingling with new dogs, so an owner that will understand her body language will be better for her whilst she learns about the exciting new world. Due to her funny way of socialising, we think she may be better off with a robust dog of any size that can show her how to ‘dog’. Tee Tee is still only a young girl so we think that children 10and over and a place with a yard would be more her style whilst she grows up.

Ella ARP

6 years old

How cute is this sweetheart! She is such a dainty, polite, gentle little soul that is very much looking forward to a home of her very own. She may suit living with another male dog of any size that is respectful of her personal space whilst she settles in and children 5 and over. She also may be suitable for someone that is retired and looking for a companion as she is lovely to walk and quiet. She does loves pending some time outside though whether it just be for a morning sunbake or spend the whole day relaxing, so we think anywhere with some sort of outside area she can bask in would be great.

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.
