Steph & Shiraz
Shiraz entered GAP back in May of 2023. When she entered, I fell in love with her immediately!
Unfortunately I was just about to go away on a 4.5-week trip overseas, so I told myself, if she was there when I get back, it was a sign.
When I got back, she was still there! My partner and I had just gotten a puppy 1 year prior and weren’t ready to get another dog so quickly. So, when I found out she needed to go through our Behaviour Rehabilitation Program (BRP), I told myself again – If she aced the program and passed on the other side, it’s a sign. Well! She smashed through BRP with flying colours, and the universe was once again telling me, she was meant for us.
Once she had passed, she got stuck in vet status for a while due to an autoimmune disease. I took this as my shot to take her home for a medical foster and trial her with our whippet, Dorito. She fit in seamlessly! And from that first day of foster, I knew she had found her forever home with us.
We’re approaching almost two years with our Shirazzle Dazzle and she’s still finding new ways to enrich our lives. She loves nothing more than an afternoon long roach on the couch, especially nowadays where she also expects a belly rub. Her favourite toy is a green shark that she loves to throw around followed by tornadoes in the living room. She’s almost 8 now and has no signs of slowing down!
Since being adopted, we’ve put in a lot of additional behaviour work with her to the point where she now has a part time job with GAP. She comes along to public events, workplace visits, and even helps train our new class of helper dogs to gain confidence around a nice, quiet greyhound. A full circle moment as it was the helper dogs who helped train her during her BRP days.
Everyone we meet falls madly in love with her and usually requests that if we ‘find another Shiraz’, to hold it for them.
Adopting her was one of the best decisions of my life and I can’t imagine our little family without her.
Love Stephanie

Lee
How handsome is this young chap! Mr Lee here is a stunning, sleek, shiny boy that is just as sweet as he is handsome. Lee is still a young one getting to know the ropes so he can be a bit silly and on the go but he does sometimes step back and take it all in. He can be a little shy in new situations but soon forgets what he was worried about and is back to his usual playful self. We think Lee may suit living with children 10+ and maybe another medium or larger companion. He has requested a backyard though please as he wants to show you his epic zoomies and play till its nap time!
