Greyhounds As Pets

Greyhounds As Pets Greyhounds As Pets (GAP) is a not for profit initiative coordinated by Greyhound Racing NSW They don't need a big yard (or a yard at all).

Greyhounds make fantastic pets for families, working people and the elderly. Greyhounds are: Gentle, Affectionate, Clean, Quiet, Good with other dogs (some also love cats), LOW maintenance and Long lived. They will walk well on a lead and require only 15-20 minutes exercise 1-2 times daily (just like a normal pooch). They rarely shed and have a short coat.

Happy Adopter Tails | Megan & Geoffrey ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿพ

Not even the floods could keep this greyhound from finding his way home to Megan ๐Ÿฅน

When Northern Rivers local Megan first met a red fawn greyhound named Geoffrey, she knew he was meant to be hers.

Like many adopters, it was greyhound love at first sight.

After preparing everything for Geoffrey's arrival, disaster struck when devastating floods swept through the Northern Rivers, forcing Megan to put her adoption plans on hold while her home underwent extensive repairs.

Although Geoffrey eventually had to be returned to the adoption program, he never left Megan's thoughts.

Then months later, Megan spotted Geoffrey's profile on the GAP website and immediately called GAP Northern Rivers Regional Coordinator Louise.

To her amazement, Geoffrey was still waiting for a home!

While repairs continued, Megan and her mum travelled regularly to visit Geoffrey, building on the special bond they had formed from their very first meeting.

Today, Geoffrey is a much-loved member of the family and known for his cheeky personality.

โ€œHe will always make new friends. In fact, he wonโ€™t move until people give him some love! He also gives the best side-eye youโ€™ll ever see.โ€ laughs, Megan.

Looking back on the journey, Megan says every setback was worth it.

"He's my little battler." โค๏ธ๐Ÿพ

Cutest story you'll read today ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿพ

Fawn boy Noel had a little admirer at our Byron Bay Adoption Day last Saturday.

One young visitor loved Noel so much that he brought him a toy to keep him company until he can come back and see him again. ๐Ÿฅน

Moments like these remind us just how special greyhounds are, especially for kids. โœจ

At this stage, Noel is still searching for a home. If you're looking for a sociable, affectionate and entertaining companion for the family, Noel might just be your perfect match! ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿพ
