Rod & Tuppy

We thought we were not ready to adopt following our recent loss (at the time) of our dear GAP boy Mushu so we decided just to participate in the GAP Christmas Foster program.

In all honesty at the time, we had decided it was foster “only” and had prepared ourselves that the foster was going back at the end of the foster period..

There was no special request for any particular GAP grey that was going out for foster.

Out of complete random luck we were given Tuppence (Tuppy) to look after over the 3-week Christmas break.

Tuppy is a beautiful gentle natured girl who loves her walks, her shell pool (in Summer) and playing with her squeaky toys that she carries and regularly runs around the house with.

Tuppy is also a professional roacher demonstrating this fine greyhound art to us in only the first few days at our home.

In the first week we knew (& Tuppy knew) she had found her forever home as she had such an incredibly good nature and had settled in so well.

We knew there was no way Tuppy was going back!

Nearly six months only Tuppy is doing so well it is like she has been with us for a number of years.

For a quite girl (& a grey) Tuppy can be quite vocal (barking) when she gets excited or wants something (to come in or out of the house). She is a great communicator.

Very occasionally, when we ignore her she can find ways to get our attention including taking a (very) gentle nibble of our coffee table or just checking up where we are (irrespective of what room we are in!). All very cute – we love our Tuppy very much.

Love Rod

Megan & Romeo

Romeo came into our lives at the end of January after things hadn’t quite worked out in a previous home. We were told he just needed a chance, and a bit of time, and those words couldn’t have been more true.

Bobby is a lovely young man, just look at his beautiful light-coloured eyes, they seem to stare into your soul. Bobby is a social, friendly and affectionate boy who is keen to move into his furever home. He may suit living with or without a canine pal of similar size and children aged 10years and older.

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. She's looking for a household where she's the only dog or with a medium to large dog that's compatible with her personality. If you're a patient and loving family who can help Blossom feel safe and secure, she'll reward you with affection and loyalty. Blossom might be the perfect fit for you!

Latte

1 years old

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

3 years old

Meet Boston, the greyhound who's ready to take your heart by storm! This sweet and puppyish girl is an impulsive and extroverted ball of energy, always looking for her next adventure. Boston loves to play, snuggle, and get into all sorts of mischief - just like a true Bostonian, she's a force to be reckoned with! 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

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.
