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

Socks

2 years old

Socks is one of the loveliest little girls you will ever meet! She is super sweet, personable, affectionate, and loves everyone she meets! She has had her leg amputated whilst at GAP and she has dealt with it like a champion! The only thing that really slows her down is stairs (but that's completely understandable!) Socks will be looking for a home with or without another canine companion of any size and children aged 5 years and over. She would prefer a home with a backyard, but may suit an older owner. If you have a 3 legged-shaped hole in your heart, please consider taking this absolutely adorable girl!

Mr D ARP

6 years old

Hi! I’m Mr D! What’s that you say!? I’m handsome? Well, there is so much more to love about me than my handsome looks but ill point out my shiny coat, awesome pointy ears and a tail that winds up like a helicopter but most importantly I am a real sweet, friendly and fun boy that is always up for an adventure. I think I might be ok to live with children 10 and over or maybe even another medium or larger play buddy!

Gus (Bonded with Oran)

6 years old

This is Gus (green collar). He is Oran's emotional support boyfriend who she absolutely adores. Gus is a super outgoing boy who is always smiling and happy to see you! He is the first to meet you in the morning and loves cuddles. Unlike Oran who is an introvert, Gus is a massive extrovert! He has spent some time in an adoptive home and a foster home and he has done really well. Both Gus and Oran have been waiting a long time for their forever home and they would absolutely love to find a couch for Christmas. Have you got a Gus and Oran sized hole in your heart that needs filling? Gus and Oran will be looking for a quiet home with no children, but may be ok for full time workers. Gus is not cat tolerant.

Oran (bonded with Gus)

3 years old

Oran (pink collar) is a super sweet but shy girl who has come along way since entering GAP. She has been out to foster care a couple of times so has some experience living in a home. She has bonded to Gus who is her emotional support friend, so they will be both looking for a home together. Oran is toilet trained, walks perfectly on the lead, and is super quiet. She knows how to walk up and down stairs well and travels nicely in the car. She does get worried in new situations and will be looking for a quiet home with no children as she finds them a bit scary! During her foster period, Oran has developed a liking for watching TV, so she hopes her forever home will have a double seater couch that she and her boyfriend Gus can sleep on and live her life in luxury. She may be happy to live with full time workers. Are you ready to fill that massive Gus and Oran sized hole in your heart? Oran is not cat tolerant.
