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

Mandy & Elley

She fit in very quickly in the family. For the first week or so, she was a little unsure, and it took about that long for her personality to start shining through.

Winx ARP

3 years old

Meet Winx, a beautiful female greyhound with a calm, polite nature and a heart full of sweetness. She is gentle and personable, taking her cues from the people around her and doing her very best to please. Winx can be a little anxious in new situations, but reassurance and kind guidance go a long way—once she settles, her affectionate and thoughtful personality truly shines. She enjoys quiet companionship and will happily be by your side, soaking up the comfort of a predictable routine.
Winx would do well in a home with adults, elderly adopters, or families with children aged 10 and over who can respect her sensitive side. She would be happiest as an only dog, or with a compatible medium to large canine companion who matches her calm energy. With patience, love, and a peaceful home, Winx will reward her people with loyalty, grace, and a gentle presence that makes every day a little brighter.

‍

This dog is part of our Assisted Rehoming Program (ARP). ARP dogs are kept 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 them. As such, you will not be able to meet any other dogs, as you otherwise would be able to.

Jett

5 years old

Meet Jett, if you’re looking for a big, fun-loving personality to bring energy into your life — Jett might just be your perfect match. Jett is a handsome, social boy who absolutely loves being around people. He’s friendly, outgoing and full of confidence, with a playful, puppyish nature that shines through in everything he does. Whether it’s chasing toys, enjoying treats, or bouncing around with excitement, Jett lives life at full speed and brings a lot of joy (and laughs) with him. He’s an eager boy who wants to please and thrives on interaction, but he can be boisterous and a little rough at times. Because of this, Jett will need an experienced handler who is comfortable with larger, excitable dogs and can continue to guide him with consistent training and structure. Jett may suit living with a robust medium or large dog who can match his playful energy. He could also be suitable for a home with kids 10+, provided they are confident and experienced around big, lively dogs. A secure backyard is a must for Jett, giving him the space he needs to burn off energy and enjoy his playful zoomies. Jett is a big character with an even bigger heart — and in the right home, he’s going to be an incredibly fun and rewarding companion.
