Steph & Shiraz
Shiraz entered GAP back in May of 2023. When she entered, I fell in love with her immediately!
Unfortunately I was just about to go away on a 4.5-week trip overseas, so I told myself, if she was there when I get back, it was a sign.
When I got back, she was still there! My partner and I had just gotten a puppy 1 year prior and weren’t ready to get another dog so quickly. So, when I found out she needed to go through our Behaviour Rehabilitation Program (BRP), I told myself again – If she aced the program and passed on the other side, it’s a sign. Well! She smashed through BRP with flying colours, and the universe was once again telling me, she was meant for us.
Once she had passed, she got stuck in vet status for a while due to an autoimmune disease. I took this as my shot to take her home for a medical foster and trial her with our whippet, Dorito. She fit in seamlessly! And from that first day of foster, I knew she had found her forever home with us.
We’re approaching almost two years with our Shirazzle Dazzle and she’s still finding new ways to enrich our lives. She loves nothing more than an afternoon long roach on the couch, especially nowadays where she also expects a belly rub. Her favourite toy is a green shark that she loves to throw around followed by tornadoes in the living room. She’s almost 8 now and has no signs of slowing down!
Since being adopted, we’ve put in a lot of additional behaviour work with her to the point where she now has a part time job with GAP. She comes along to public events, workplace visits, and even helps train our new class of helper dogs to gain confidence around a nice, quiet greyhound. A full circle moment as it was the helper dogs who helped train her during her BRP days.
Everyone we meet falls madly in love with her and usually requests that if we ‘find another Shiraz’, to hold it for them.
Adopting her was one of the best decisions of my life and I can’t imagine our little family without her.
Love Stephanie

Harris
Talk about a big softie! This lovely boy is such a sweetheart, he leans into you pats and looks up to you with his big eyes. He can be a little shy in new environments but soon bounces back to his joyful self! We think he may suit many households as long as there is a nice yard for him to relax and explore in.
Bobby
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.

Shiny
Meet Shiny, the sparkling gem of a greyhound who's sure to brighten up your life! This quiet and gentle soul is a sweet and affectionate girl who loves people and adores treats. Shiny's a laid-back companion who'll fit right into your daily routine, bringing joy and calm to your home. Shiny may be suited to a household with kids aged 5+ and for a home with either no other dogs or a male canine companion that gets along with her gentle nature. She also might be a great fit for elderly owners or apartment living,as she's low-maintenance and doesn't require a lot of space. And, surprisingly, Shiny might even live harmoniously with a cat! If you're ready for a loving and gentle companion, Shiny might be the perfect fit for your family.
Trixie
Trixie is full of tricks! Well not yet but we know she is a smart cookie that will pick up on things very quickly, maybe even get up to some mischief if she catches you napping on the job of Greyhound Servant! We think this beautiful, affectionate and sweet little girl may be ok for families with children 10 and over and another male canine companion of any size, she may even suit living with a feline friend! Go Trixie!
Ravioli
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.
Shell
This sweet little girl is Shell, and she is one that will need to come out of her “shell” a little when she goes into her forever home. But she will blossom as a sweet, puppyish girl that is excitable and bubbly when she is comfortable. We think she may suit living as an only dog or with another medium to large male canine companion and somewhere
