Xavier, Jacqueline & Cardi

Cardi came into our lives in January 2024. We arrived at GAP having recently lost our rescue dog Kimchi a month earlier.

Cardi was the first greyhound we met and we didn’t look back. The first few days at home she spent curled up in a bed, adjusting to her surroundings. She didn’t even go to the toilet for a couple of days.

At some point she warmed up and in less than a week she was playfully roaching on her back, claiming the sofa for herself and gaining confidence. If there’s something that continues to impress us it’s her adaptability and openness.

Since those early steps we’ve gone on to have lots of adventures from road trips to go hiking in the Blue Mountains to snow fights in the Alpine mountains in Victoria. We love her so much!

You can find her on Instagram: @Cardi_hound

Love Xavier & Jacqueline

Lee

2 years old

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!

Meet Pickles with his big floppy ears that makes him look like a cross breed! In new situations and environments, he can be a little unsure but doesn't take him long for his true colours to shine through and is super friendly and affectionate and if you're lucky he may even jump up for a cuddle! Pickles may suit living with or without a canine pal of similar size and children aged 10 years and older. This big playful boy will likely do best in a home with a backyard.

Chonk ARP

2 years old

Don’t be fooled by his name, he isn’t a “Chonky Boy” but we think the name still suits him. Mr Chonk does however love a little treat or two so this should make training a breeze, as long as he doesn’t give you those puppy dog eyes for too many! Chonk is a confident and enthusiastic boy and we think that he may suit homes with children 10 and over and possibly another dog of any size.

Kara

7 years old

Doesn't Kara have the cutest face? She is a friendly girl with a puppyish and playful nature. Kara has been living as a pet for a few years now and returned due to no fault of her own. She has previously lived with greyhounds but we think she may be ok with another medium or larger breed as well. She can jump up, so no small children or frail owners for this girl. Kara is lovely to walk on lead and still very much an active girly. We also think she may be ok with children 10 years an over.
