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

Toby

4 years old

Toby knows how to use his ear antenna's very well to listen out for any treat packets being opened! Toby is a quiet, gentle and sensitive boy that loves having his butt scratched and will show you by throwing his legs around in joy as you do it. Toby can be a little gusto on the lead at times but this will settle as he gets into a regular walking routine with his new family.

Moe

Everyone wants a LOVE BUDDY and we have just the dog for you! Meet Moe, the sweet, friendly, affectionate love bug that just wants to look into your eyes and wrap his paws around you - he may also use these eyes to beg for treats too! Moe has the most adorable floopy ears (his picture doesn't do them justice) and when they stick up you almost think he was a donkey. Moe is a laid back kind of guy that we think may be ok for an apartment and children 15 and over. He may be ok living with or without another cuddle buddy of any size too.

Hulk Smash

4 years old

Hulk is a smashing lad who is as soft on the inside as a marshmallow, we promise! The only thing he wants to crush, is your hesitation around welcoming him or one of his fellow hound heroes into your life! Hulk gets a little over exuberant at times, and needs to work on his lead skills, but this is an easy habit to overcome! If you are prepared to be patient and work with him, Hulk promises to protect and defend your heart until his last breath and beyond. He is friendly, puppyish, confident, and needs a yard to do his zoomies in and body slam those squeaky toys. He may suit living with children 10+, full time workers, and may do well on his own or with a medium or larger canine friend to take on the world with. He is a leaner, but is also independent, the perfect balance. So what are you waiting for? Come and meet him today, your love story might just be a knockout!

Sam Iam

4 years old

Sam Iam the super sweet and social boy that just wants to please you and give you all loving that he has to give. Sam is good to walk on the lead and we think he may suit households that love to get out and about. We think he would be better in a home with a yard and no elderly or frail family members (incl. other dogs). We also think they might suit living with children 10 and above or another medium or larger dog as company. Sam has some mild Osteoarthritis which does not affect his day-to-day life

Jeff Lebowski

3 years old

Jeff "The Dude" Lebowski is an adorable pooch, just look at that cute face! Jeff is a young boy who has lots to learn about life and even though he will be turning 4 this year, he still acts like a big puppy! He can find other breeds of dog (other than greyhounds) a little scary, but we feel with a patient owner who will help him by gradually introducing him to other breeds in the right way, he will realise that other breeds of dog are just as good as greyhounds (well almost ;) ). Jeff would like a home where all the love can be showered on him and he does not have to share with another dog. Jeff is fond of the loud noises younger children can make so a home with teenagers aged 15 years and older, we believe he will do best in a home with a backyard for him to run and play in.
