Racing name: King Diesel Microchip: 956000004357613 Whelped: Sept 2015 Sex: male Colour: black Weight: ~32kg Cat tolerant: not tested Available: mid February Diesel is an inquisitive by well-mannered lad who is taking to pet life with ease. He has a soft personality (bit of a sooky boy) who enjoys playing with toys and see what goodies he can discover on the kitchen bench :). He is a lanky fellow who needs to put on a couple of kilos to reach his ideal weight, but he is working towards that goal with a solid appetite. Diesel has a classic roman nose which gives him a unique and distinguished appearance. He enjoys his car rides and daily walks. He would probably prefer a home with a moderate amount of human company. He is unlikely to be cat or chicken tolerant.

Racing name: Fear Nancy Microchip: 956000004093628 Whelped: January 2015 Sex: female Colour: blue Weight: 24.5kg Cat tolerant: not tested Available: mid February Ivory has only just come into foster care. She is a little shy with unfamiliar people at first but is settling into pet life well. She had no idea about stairs to begin with but is now mastering that art. Ivory is well-mannered on the lead and really enjoys her walks around the neighbourhood. She is currently learning the ropes from her two foster brother Greyhounds. Ivory is a litter sister to Ebony (Pink Geitz) who was adopted last October. Ivory is best-suited to a home with adults only, or one with calm older children 12 years +; she may benefit from the company of another relaxed dog. Ivory has not been tested with cats.

Racing name: Jessie Skeeta Whelped: Nov 2011 Sex: female Colour: black Weight: 31kg Cat tolerant: no Available: NOW Tessa became part of the GAP family just over 4 years ago, following a brief country racing career. After a few months couch surfing at various foster homes, she was finally adopted by one of her foster carers. Unfortunately family circumstances changed (through no fault of her own) and Tessa came back to us in February 2018. She has been desperately looking for a furever family since then. Tessa is in the prime of her life at 7 years old. Like most Greyhounds, she whiles away the hours snoozing, but as soon as she hears the lead or the car keys being picked up, or the dinner bowl being filled, Tessa turns into a Springbok! Tessa LOVES her food and will eat virtually anything offered (she's taken a fancy to blueberries lately!). She has even learned to sit on command (for the right treat). Tessa has been described as one of the easiest dogs to live with. As long as she is permitted to be an indoor dog she is as happy as Larry - she'll sunbake and roll in the grass while you're outside gardening, but expects to come inside when you do. Tessa puts herself to bed by mid-evening and does not stir all night. She is used to living with other dogs, both male and female, and gets on easily with them. She is currently sharing a home with other Greyhounds but did previously live with a Chihuahua. She is not cat tolerant. Tessa has been gentle and sweet with visiting grandchildren. While Tessa generally walks very well on the lead, she can be reactive and bark at dogs she does not know - but then will walk past others without batting an eyelid. This is her one and only flaw, but means she has been overlooked time and time again. If you have room in your heart and your home for a great dog and think you might have the lifestyle to suit, please consider giving Tessa a chance at a permanent abode.

Racing name: Doone Miss Whelped: March 2014 Sex: female Colour: black Weight: 31kg Microchip: 956000003661395 Cat tolerant: not tested Available: NOW Gina is a gorgeous girl who will make you feel like the most special person in the world. She is still very much the playful puppy who wants to snuggle in your lap, but with the maturity, toilet training, sleep habits, and obedience of an older dog. She knows and continues to learn commands such as "lie down, stay, wait, and come here". She is still learning that other dogs aren't scary, but once she gets to know them, she loves to play and cuddle and gets sad when her foster brother isn't around. Gina loves people, but doesn't know her own size; so she is not suited to a home with very young children. Her enthusiasm for life means that she needs daily exercise and loves to go out and explore on walks with her foster brother. What Gina really loves more than anything is food and after every meal does a joyful happy dance. Gina has a zest for living that is sure to light up your life and keep you in a good mood. Gina is sponsored in memory of Toni's Lois. All our foster dogs are protected from fleas & ticks with NexGard®, kindly donated by Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health.

Racing name: Swift Barney Microchip: 956000004008185 Whelped: Nov 2014 Sex: male Colour: white & brindle Weight: ~33kg Cat tolerant: not tested (unlikely) Available: NOW Barney is a happy & enthusiastic character who has been a house pet for the last 3 years. He is now in great health after coming to us extremely undernourished. Barney has put on more than 6kg in recent weeks and now has a sleek silky coat. Barney is used to being primarily an indoor dog - although he will tolerate short periods in the yard he is much more relaxed inside. He loves human company and would be best suited to a home where his people are around much of the time. He gets on well with larger dogs (he is currently in foster care with an older female Labrador). He would love a family (perhaps with kids 10 years plus) who will involve him in their daily activities. Barney already has Greenhounds status. He has not been tested with cats. Barney is sponsored by Allens Linklaters. All our foster dogs are protected from fleas & ticks with NexGard®, kindly donated by Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health.
