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

Little Ted

3 years old

Little Ted has the cutest ears that you have ever seen, they sometimes go like they do in the photo, other times they stand on top of his head like a party hat. Little Ted is not little; he is an average size male greyhound. Little Ted is quite the introvert and is anxious and submissive to new people and environments, but we feel with time and patience from the owner, Little Ted will blossom into his true self. Little Ted may suit living with or without calm/respectful canine companion of similar size. Little Ted would be best suited to a home with a backyard. Due to his timidity, we think Little Ted would thrive best in a home without children and in a quiet neighbourhood/home.

Fergus

2 years old

This lively, playful boy is full of energy and still very much a puppy at heart. He’s enthusiastic about life and loves to be involved in fun activities and adventures. Fergus will need a family who understands his need to burn off energy and can help guide him to play nicely. He’s also incredibly sweet and affectionate, always ready for a good pat and scratch. Due to his size and exuberance, Fergus is not suitable for a home with young children, but he may suit living with older teens who can handle his enthusiasm. He could also enjoy having another dog companion, provided they’re not old or frail. A backyard is a must for this spirited young man—he’ll thrive with space to run and play! This lovely dog is not suitable to live with a cat.
