Racing name: Professor Microchip: 956000008688990 Whelped: Sept 2013 Sex: male Colour: black Weight: ~ 28kg Cat tolerant: not tested Available: mid September Sammy is an easy going boy who loves rolling around in the grass, having a tummy tickle and fetching his ball - although we are still working on the bit where he brings it back to you. He of course, loves his walks, is well behaved on a lead and shows very little interest in other dogs, even if they come up to give him a friendly sniff. He currently lives with an older labrador and the two of them are happy to be walked together. Sammy enjoys his food - as he is a little on the skinny side, he eats whatever is put in front of him, but is particularly partial to sardines and chicken. He is working on gaining a little bit of weight. Sammy is equally happy inside or outside the house, and can amuse himself quite well with his balls and toys, although he is always happy to see you and have a cuddle. Inside the house he likes to find a comfortable spot on the rug and rest. He is toilet trained and sleeps well through the night. Sammy has settled in well with his foster family where there are 3 older children and many other people coming in and out the house.

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.
