It is our mission to:
- Find suitable, loving, homes for retired racing greyhounds. Encourage a more positive image of the greyhound and to stimulate the public’s desire to own a greyhound as a family pet.
- Assess greyhounds and prepare them for life as family pets.
- Provide ongoing advice and support to the greyhound and its new owners.
- We at the GAP know that greyhounds can make fantastic pets. As with any breed of dog, they are individuals. Some are high energy and rough and tumble, others are lazy and laid back. However, in general they are best described as quiet and gentle dogs that thrive in a family home environment.
The great thing about greyhounds is that there is a dog to suit almost every situation. If you prefer a more outgoing dog, perhaps one that enjoys obedience training or playing fetch with the kids for example, then we can help find the right dog for you! If you want a calm and sensitive companion, we have those too!
The staff at the GAP pride themselves on their ability to successfully and consistently place the right greyhound into the right home environment. We do this by taking the time to get to know each greyhound individually and through comprehensive and ongoing behavioural assessments.
