Adoption
In addition to the dogs listed below there are another 110 greyhounds waiting to enter the program.
UPDATED 20 July 2008

As a general rule people seem to prefer adopting female greyhounds. Why? We have no idea! Please consider the gorgeous boys on the list as they're just as affectionate, cuddly and lovable and also make wonderful pets.

Boris
| Race Name: Kakadu Allen |
Colour: Black |
| DOB: 14 January 2004 |
Sex: M |
Boris has been itching to get into foster care because he just loves being with people! Boris went to Million Paws Walk and was so excited that he keep his lead tight for the whole 5kms! We were stunned at his stamina! But he's slowed down since then and was chilling out in foster care as an only dog. Now Boris has moved in with another greyhound and he marked his entrance wth a big game of chasey and a swim in the dam! Boris is really affectionate, and would love a home where he'll get endless cuddles!

Ali
| Race Name: Crossfire Lady |
Colour: Brindle |
| DOB: 8 June 2006 |
Sex: F |
Why this little girl was ever even named to race we don't know as she's just a playful pup who's not interested in chasing anything unless its the cats and small dog she lives with in their favourite game of chasey!! Everyone loves Ali and all of the animals in all of her foster homes (and of course the people) have taken to her instantly! She is a real "puppy" in looks and has that playful puppy behaviour, but still sleeps the best part of the day like most greyhounds! She's also really food motivated so she should be good fun to train! She's also expressed an interest in pursuing a music career given her short lived racing career potential.

Rufus is such a gentle old boy. He has been in a home for the last 6 months but due to a change in circumstances Rufus is on the look out for a much better second home! He's a very laid back fellow, but loves a good play like most boys his age. He is very calm, and prefers to have a mate for company for those few moments where he relives his childhood!

Crystal
| Race Name: Petite Gem |
Colour: Blue Fawn |
| DOB: 18 March 2005 |
Sex: F |
As this is being written; I feel the foster carer curse setting in! Crystal is such a beautiful little girl that before her foster carer had even laid a hand on her she declared that she would probably keep her so she could spoil her rotten! Just like her race name - this little girl is so petite! She is so small its a wonder she ever made the track! She is currently in foster care with a lurcher and if all goes well - they'll be together for the rest of their lives! |
|
Paddy
| Race Name: Parto's Pad |
Colour: Black |
| DOB: 20 October 2005 |
Sex: M |
Paddy is a real gentleman! He spent some time at Swan TAFE teaching the vet nurse students that greyhounds are the best dogs in the world! The students didn't want Paddy to leave because of his lovely nature! But now he's in foster care as an only dog after spending a few weeks on holiday at Pampered Pooch where he got on famously with the other dogs! |

Missy

Colour: White and Fawn |
| DOB: 10 Feb 2004 |
Sex: F |
Missy spent her first day in foster care at the 2008 Million Paws Walk and what a well behaved girl she was! Missy loves kids, and is currently in foster care as an only dog. She was delighted to see that her new backyard has a big straight patch of grass for her to run up and down on and re-live the days that she spent playing around instead of racing! Missy is social with other dogs, and would make a lovely family pet. |
|
Harry
| Race Name: Harry Reltub |
Colour: Red Brindle |
| DOB: 16 September 2003 |
Sex: M |
Harry is a lovely tall, lean dog who just loves a big cuddle. He has spent time in foster care with another greyhound and two small children; but now he's an only dog. His first night with his new foster family saw Harry spending the night with a border collie, a cat and a baby - and of course, Harry was a perfect gentleman! Prior to entering foster care Harry visited the beach with his trainers Italian Greyhounds and he had such a good time that he decided to pull the pin on racing and head into full retirement so he could enjoy more fun time!

Billy
| Race Name: Brindle Bliss |
Colour: Brindle |
| DOB: 2 October 2003 |
Sex: M |
Billy's family has had a change of circumstance, so Billy needs to find a new home. Billy is in foster care with two cats and another greyhound, and he's feeling right at home so we need to move him so we don't lose another foster carer! He is a large dog and he can get boisterous when he's excited so he's better suited to a family with older kids. Billy would also prefer a home where he has a friend to share his days with and he just loves kids! |

Charlie - ADOPTION PENDING
| Race Name: Silver Brumby |
Colour: Light Brindle |
| DOB: 21 April 2005 |
Sex: M |
Charlie is really cool, calm and collected! He has a very gentle laid back attitude so much so that his first night in foster care saw him lean on the lounge until he had pushed it a metre away and then promptly laid where the couch had been! He shared his first foster home with a chihuhua cross (who didn't like him very much because he's so tall!); but he wasn't too bothered with her. Charlie is now in foster care as an only dog and is looking like becoming a patron of an aged home after he visited the other day and impressed everyone with his gentle attitude. |

Harley - ADOPTION PENDING
| Race Name: Bundy's Me Dad |
Colour: Red Brindle |
| DOB: 21 May 2004 |
Sex: M |
Harley's sister Rosie got a head start in the pet world, but Harley is catching up pretty quickly! He has met lots of other dogs, and is currently sharing his foster home with another greyhound. Harley is a real water baby! He was into every bucket at the Million Paws Walk and on arrival to his new foster home he promptly jumped in the dam and started swimming! Harley is really friendly with other dogs and spent many a play day with his Jack Russell buddy, but he thinks cats are still fair game. |

| DOB: 9 April 2007 |
Sex: F |
Kira is currently in foster care with a greyhound and another dog and is getting along famously with them. She is full of energy outside, but once indoors, she's the most placid pup you'll come across. She's totally uninterested in cats, and finds cuddles to be the only thing worth trying to get! Kira would prefer another dog for company and would love to live with a cat. |
|
Sparky - ADOPTION PENDING

Colour: Blue Brindle |
| DOB: 16 February 2005 |
Sex: M |
Sparky got himself a new home earlier in the year but a change in family circumstances has seen him back at GAP.

|
Walter - ADOPTION PENDING
| Race Name: Zedakya |
Colour: Black |
| DOB: 11 March 2000 |
Sex: M |
Walter has been a pet for a few years but changing circumstance has resulted in him requiring a new home.

Colour: Brindle |

Marshall - ADOPTION PENDING
| Race Name: Satin Phoenix |
Colour: Black |
| DOB: 11 February 2002 |
Sex: M |
Marshall's a lovely laid back old boy on the surface, but don't be fooled by that calm demeanour - underneath that grey muzzle is a puppy waiting to escape! Marshall's been living with another greyhound for the past year, but with a bub on the way for Mum, there's no more room for Marshall. His playmates for the past year have been a dobermann and a border collie, and he'd be keen to get himself a mate that just wants to hang out and have fun during the day. But Marshall certainly wouldn't refuse a warm, cosy bed to spend most of the day on if the option was available! |

Regie - ADOPTION PENDING
| Race Name: Lovely Awesome |
Colour: Red Fawn |
| DOB: 7 October 2005 |
Sex: F |
Regie is a real little pocket rocket! Her sister, Walker, recently found a home and now its Regie's turn. She spent time in foster care with another greyhound and a heeler X, and has proven to be very playful! However, just like Walker, she is very quickly slipping into the pet lifestyle of lazing around all day! Regie would suit a family that has another playful dog for company. She spent time living with cats, but the cats decided she should look for a retirement home without cats present! Regie has also spent time in foster care with a shih tzu X and another greyhound. She is currently doing some alone time, and is in foster care as an only dog. |
