Bridging the gap between animal welfare and data
Alpha Vet Tech and Greyhounds as Pets have collaborated on a research project to analyse and correlate a Greyhounds behaviour response as it transitions from being a racing dog to an adopted pet.
Prioritising advocacy and welfare of the greyhound, the research will focus on observational behaviour and correlating this data with the animals biological vital sign response collected simultaneously with WirelessZoo. The research project will be conducted over a 12 month period.
Many thanks to Aaron Smith, GAPNSW Behaviour Assistant from our Western Sydney Adoption Centre for featuring.

Congratulations to GAPNSW ambassador Jess Fox who has been honoured with an OAM for her gold performance at last year's Tokyo Olympics!
Jess, enjoy this special day and thank you from all of us at GAP for your support, which shines a bright spotlight on the many reasons people should choose to Adopt or Foster a Greyhound!
“Pink was our first time fostering a greyhound, and it has been challenging, rewarding and enjoyable, and Pink has brought so much quirky and loveable energy and personality into our life.
It's amazing to see the progress she has made and continues to make. It shows how important it is to foster and give these dogs love and patience. I can say we are now greyhound obsessed.”
