Rod & Tuppy

We thought we were not ready to adopt following our recent loss (at the time) of our dear GAP boy Mushu so we decided just to participate in the GAP Christmas Foster program.

In all honesty at the time, we had decided it was foster “only” and had prepared ourselves that the foster was going back at the end of the foster period..

There was no special request for any particular GAP grey that was going out for foster.

Out of complete random luck we were given Tuppence (Tuppy) to look after over the 3-week Christmas break.

Tuppy is a beautiful gentle natured girl who loves her walks, her shell pool (in Summer) and playing with her squeaky toys that she carries and regularly runs around the house with.

Tuppy is also a professional roacher demonstrating this fine greyhound art to us in only the first few days at our home.

In the first week we knew (& Tuppy knew) she had found her forever home as she had such an incredibly good nature and had settled in so well.

We knew there was no way Tuppy was going back!

Nearly six months only Tuppy is doing so well it is like she has been with us for a number of years.

For a quite girl (& a grey) Tuppy can be quite vocal (barking) when she gets excited or wants something (to come in or out of the house). She is a great communicator.

Very occasionally, when we ignore her she can find ways to get our attention including taking a (very) gentle nibble of our coffee table or just checking up where we are (irrespective of what room we are in!). All very cute – we love our Tuppy very much.

Love Rod

Talk about a big softie! This lovely boy is such a sweetheart, he leans into you pats and looks up to you with his big eyes. He can be a little shy in new environments but soon bounces back to his joyful self! We think he may suit many households as long as there is a nice yard for him to relax and explore in.

Bertha

8 years old

Dont worry - Bertha does have two ears! She just has selective hearing like most Greyhounds we know. Bertha may be 8yrs old but she is still a puppy at heart. She loves to do zoomies, play and actively watches all the things happening at GAP - some would say she is a bit of a sticky-beak but we think she just wants to make sure she gets her share of attention for the day. Bertha is such a sweet, gentle and affectionate lady and she will shower her new family in love and have them laughing at her silly antics all day. We think she may suit living with another male dog of any size and children 5+.

This delicious girl has her eyeliner on and is ready to hit the streets and show off her glamourous looks! Maybe even stopping for a bite to eat at your favourite Italian spot!
