Zoe, Joel & Pants

It's been just over a year since we adopted our silly guy Pants (formerly known as Shadow).

He's the silliest, sweetest dog who loves showing off and snoozing in the sunshine. He already has more sets of pyjamas than we do, and loves to snuggle up no matter the temperature. He loves looking at the ocean when we go for beach walks and has settled into our home and lives beautifully. We can't wait for all the love-filled years to come with our darling boy.

Love Zoe & Joel

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.

This gorgeous male greyhound is the total package—social, friendly, and full of confidence. Jakey is an outgoing sweetheart who genuinely enjoys being around people and makes fast friends wherever he goes. With his affectionate nature and warm personality, he’s the type of dog who seeks out eye contact, leans in for pats, and loves being part of the action.

Wicket

4 years old

Summers will be even better with this guy on your backyard cricket team! Now his race name suggests he has "No Manners" but we can assure you that he is a sweet, affectionate boy that loves cuddles and will do almost anything for a pat! We think that this Don Bradman wannabee may suit living with a squad of 10yrs and over and another batsman (doggie friend) of any size.

Paisley

6 years old

This is Paisley, yes, she may be 6 and a half years old but that doesn't stop this pretty girl from acting like a puppy! As soon as you meet her you are guaranteed to fall completely in love with her, she has a contagious happy demeanour that you can't help to smile back at her. She loves nothing more than hanging with her people and getting all the attention. She is quite an active girl and will likely require a home that has a back yard that she can run and play in. She will also likely need mental stimulation while her people aren't around. She may be OK to live with a dog tolerant cat.

Pogo

3 years old

Meet Pogo, a handsome male greyhound with a big personality to match his long legs. He’s friendly, outgoing and wonderfully quirky, always ready to greet you with enthusiasm and charm. Pogo is still learning his manners and can be a bit boisterous, so he’ll thrive with confident handlers who can continue his training and help him become his best self. Pogo is best suited to a household with teens 15+ or adults, and he’ll need a secure backyard where he can stretch out and play. He can live as an only dog or with a robust medium to large canine companion, but he’s not suitable for homes with cats, apartments, or elderly residents. With the right environment and guidance, Pogo will reward you with loyalty, laughs, and plenty of greyhound love. Pogo has had irritable bowel syndrome while in our care at GAP. We have had much improvement using a specialty diet, with "inside out" powder on his food. This should be continued into his new home.

We have behavioural and health assessed this lovely dog, and they will remain 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 this particular dog, and not other dogs currently in our care.
