Matches aplenty at Geelong adoption day

Matches aplenty at Geelong adoption day

Fourteen greyhounds found their forever homes at a GAP Adoption Day in Geelong on Saturday.

A total of 18 greyhounds were available for adoption on the day, with around 70 prospective adopters in attendance.

“It was certainly a well-attended event,” said GAP Manager Larissa Hubbard.

“There were only four greyhounds that missed out on being adopted on the day, one of which (Kyle) is being adopted today.

Rubino, Teejay and Taylor were the others not to be adopted, with the trio returning to GAP until they find their forever homes.

A surprising element from the event was the distances some people travelled to get there, with one couple from Pearcedale and another from Warrnambool.

GAP’s Tullamarine facility is open Mondays to Saturdays from 9am-2pm – no appointment necessary.

Duffman

2 years old

Oh yeah! It's the man himself - Duffman! This playful, funny, bouncy boy is very much still a puppy and can be very enthusiastic about life. He will need a family that will understand he needs to burn some of that puppy energy and include him in family play time (but also teach him how to play nicely) and adventures. Duffman can also be super sweet, affectionate and loves a good pat and scratch. We think he may suit living with older teens just due to his sheer enthusiasm and blissful unawareness of his size when it comes to playing around. He may also suit another dog in the home as long as they are not old or frail. A backyard is a must for this spritely young man!

Mustang

7 years old

She may have a wild and adventurous name but this little girl is a bit of a softy. She can be a little shy with new people and environments but with time we know she will grow and flourish into something you would see running free on the plains of the Cimarron with the wind in her hair! She has requested a quieter home with someone who will let her come out of her shell at her pace. We think she may also suit living with another calm, respectful male dog for companionship and show her that the world isn't as scary as she thinks it is. This sweet girl has a lot of love to give and waiting for someone to give her a chance!

Blossom

2 years old

Meet Blossom, the sweet and personable greyhound who's looking for a forever home. This gentle girl is a little timid and can get anxious in new situations, but she's eager to please and loves to make her people happy. With patience, love, and gentle guidance, Blossom will blossom into a confident and loving companion. Blossom may be suited to a home with kids aged 10+ who will appreciate her gentle nature and provide a calm environment.

Latte

Attention coffee lovers, Latte may be the dog for you! Latte may be an addiction to her new owner as she is so fun, she will have them in fits of endless laughter with her antics. She is only a young girl being not even 2 years old. She is very bouncy girl and doesn't realise her own size at times. With her young and active nature will likely do best in a home with a backyard to run and play in. She may also do best in a home with children aged 10 years and older and may be OK to live with or without a playful dog of any size.

Buddy

7 years old

If you're looking for your new Buddy, then we've got your guy! Buddy is a nice quiet, sweet, and personable boy who loves a cuddle once he warms up to you. He does have a little timidness when it comes to smaller dogs and while he is fine living with full time workers, he would also be ok to live with a quieter, more placid poochy sibling of any size. He's looking for a child free home.

Soba

5 years old

Loving this girl is something no one needs to noodle-over! Beautiful Soba is a super sweet energetic girl with a heart of gold. With her striking good looks and affectionate nature, Soba would potentially suit a home with another medium or large canine friend, but her playful ways mean she would not suit a home with a small dog or a cat. She may do well in a home with children 5+ to play with.

Bertha

8 years old

Dont worry - Bertha does have two ears! She just has selective hearing like most Greyhounds we know. Bertha may be 8yrs old but she is still a puppy at heart. She loves to do zoomies, play and actively watches all the things happening at GAP - some would say she is a bit of a sticky-beak but we think she just wants to make sure she gets her share of attention for the day. Bertha is such a sweet, gentle and affectionate lady and she will shower her new family in love and have them laughing at her silly antics all day. We think she may suit living with another male dog of any size and children 5+.

Boston may be suited to a home with kids aged 10+ who can keep up with her energetic antics and appreciate her fun-loving personality. She's looking for a household where she's the only dog or with a canine companion that's compatible with her lively vibe. Due to her high energy levels, Boston requires a home with a backyard where she can run around and play to her heart's content. No old or frail dogs or people, please - this girl's got a marathon of playtime ahead of her! If you're ready to adopt a little piece of Beantown charm, Boston might be the perfect fit!

Ravioli

2 years old

No items found.

This delicious girl has her eyeliner on and is ready to hit the streets and show off her glamourous looks! Maybe even stopping for a bite to eat at your favourite Italian spot! Miss Ravioli is not only beautiful, she is sweet, kind and affectionate. She can be a little reserved at first but soon warms up and leans in for a cuddle. We think she may suit living with children10 and over and maybe even another medium or larger male canine for company. We also think she would be best off in a home that has a yard as she is still only young and can take her time to adjust to new environments.
