Greyhound Adoption Program

Greyhounds have been bred to be fast, intelligent, sociable and good tempered.  They spend most of their lives in the company of other dogs, their trainers and handlers.  They have all the advantages of breeding and training when it comes to being a good pet.  Their sociability makes them great with other pets (even cats).  Their temperament makes them wonderful around children and friends.  Their intelligence and breed make them perfect house pets - clean, quiet and a loving companion. 

 

GAP's primary aim is to find loving homes for retired greyhounds.  To achieve this each dog is assessed for its suitability for adoption by an experienced foster carer prior to adoption.  Before adoption each dog is fully vaccinated, flea treated, de-sexed and heartworm tested.  Each dog is supplied with a collar, lead, muzzle and rug.  GAP will provide information on feeding and other aspects of care.  When a dog is placed with you a 30 day trial period is undertaken to ensure that the dof and your family are happy with each other.
