Xavier, Jacqueline & Cardi

Cardi came into our lives in January 2024. We arrived at GAP having recently lost our rescue dog Kimchi a month earlier.

Cardi was the first greyhound we met and we didn’t look back. The first few days at home she spent curled up in a bed, adjusting to her surroundings. She didn’t even go to the toilet for a couple of days.

At some point she warmed up and in less than a week she was playfully roaching on her back, claiming the sofa for herself and gaining confidence. If there’s something that continues to impress us it’s her adaptability and openness.

Since those early steps we’ve gone on to have lots of adventures from road trips to go hiking in the Blue Mountains to snow fights in the Alpine mountains in Victoria. We love her so much!

You can find her on Instagram: @Cardi_hound

Love Xavier & Jacqueline

Jess

4 years old

She gives off “Elle Wood” – Legally Blonde vibes and she is totally okay with it! This fun, flirty, sweet girl is beauty and brains rolled into one and we know she is going to make a great family addition. We think she may suit children 10 and over and may also suit living with her own Bruiser– just as long as they are a little robust and happy to play. Her race name suggests ‘Nobody’s Perfect’ but Jess would probably tell you otherwise!

Bubbles

3 years old

She is sweet, she is bashful and she is a bundle full of joy, but she finds new people and places quite overwhelming. Bubbles has come such a long way at GAP and she is certainly the top of everyone's favourite list (shhh we dont tell the other doggos this!). Whilst she doesn't show her true colors straight away we can tell you her personality is just waiting to come out and fill you with laughter and a goofy smile. When she is her true self she is bouncy like a puppy, super affectionate and enthusiastic. She has done lots of socializing here with other breeds of dogs and she feels much more herself when she is around them, so a home with another confident male canine is a must. She may even suit living with a cat! Due to her nature we feel its best her new forever home is a quiet one that doesn't have children as they are scary! A yard to do zoomies and relax in would be very beneficial and patient owners that understand she needs time to adjust. Bubbles does come with medication to help her transition to being the best version of herself in her new life.

Conrad

Meet the handsome Conrad! He is very friendly and thinks he is a big puppy at times. He is very affectionate and if he could he would climb on to your lap for cuddles.

Lucy Loo

1 years old

Meet Lucy Loo, the adorable and affectionate greyhound who's looking for a forever home. This sweet girl has a puppyish personality and a strong desire to please, making her a delight to be around.

Lucy Loo might be suited to a home with kids aged 10+ and active adults who will appreciate her playful and loving nature. She's looking for a household where she's the only dog or with a compatible canine companion. Due to her energy levels and needs, Lucy Loo requires a home with a secure yard and no apartments, please. Additionally, she's looking for a home that can accommodate her vision issues. Lucy has an eye disorder called optic nerve hypoplasia, as well as a heart murmur, which both require no medication or treatment at this stage. If you're an active and loving family who can provide the right environment, Lucy Loo might be the perfect fit!

Amigo

4 years old

Just like his name suggests, this boy is excited to be your best friend! Amigo is a sweet and gentle boy; he just requires his daily quota of greyhound leans and cuddles to be his happiest self. Amigo does need a home with another medium/large canine friend to help him settle into his home. This boy loves to entertain you with zoomies so he does need a home with a backyard to get out his energy. He can be shy at first and does need reassurance at times, due to this he may suit a home with children 10+ who understand his needs. Are you ready to welcome your new best Amigo? Amigo has a thickened right hock with mild arthritis, as well as a low grade heart murmur, which doesn't require treating at this present time.
