GAP NSW

The Greyhound Adoption Program (NSW), Inc. is a non-profit organisation which is dedicated to the welfare of Greyhounds. And they don't need a big back yard.

Our primary purpose is to find permanent loving homes for these beautiful hounds. The Greyhound Adoption Program of NSW Inc (GAP NSW) is a volunteer-run charity that has been in existence since 1998, working to educate the public on the benefits and care of Greyhounds, and their suitability as companions. We finance our activities from donations and membership, and are not connected to or receive

any money from racing bodies. Greyhounds are delightful dogs - they are clean, quiet, don't shed a lot, don't require a lot of exercise, and tend to sleep unless something exciting is happening. They are usually good with children, being very calm and tolerant (although children should not be left unsupervised with any dog). They are usually extremely healthy, having few inherited diseases compared to other breeds. Greyhounds coming into GAP NSW are tested for their suitability to live as a pet. Successful Greyhounds are then desexed, and spend time in a foster home learning all about strange things like stairs, vacuum cleaners, sliding glass doors, smooth floors and other normal domestic situations that are initially quite strange to them. Greyhounds are suited to a range of family situations. From young singles, young couples, families with children and retirees. Some of our Greys live in flats/units. Greyhounds are connoisseurs of comfort. They like nothing more than finding the comfiest spot in the house and curling up for a snooze. They are lounge lizards in a racing costume! (Mind you GAP does not condone Greyhounds using human furniture.) Like to know more? Perhaps you would like to become a foster carer? Or get up close and personal with a Greyhound?

NASH HAS SO MUCH TO OFFER!

Nash is a very handsome boy who much preferred pet life to being a racing dog. He has adapted very well to living in his foster home and has previously spent time living with a pair of Mini Foxies and other Greyhounds.

Nash loves
- all food
- car rides
-sleeping through the night
-getting out and about
-meeting new people
- pats and just laying by your feet

As Nash is a social boy he doesn't like to be left outside on his own for long periods and may bark. However, he is very well behaved inside so would thrive with an indoor lifestyle.

Nash would make a great companion for a single, couple or family (children 10 years plus) who are willing to include him into their daily activities.

Check out Nash's profile for more info on this special boy.

How else to spend Black Friday than attend another Dobermann Club Scent Work trial? Last night Miss Lucy passed both her Masters Vehicles & Masters Containers searches & attained her third element title (Scent Work Containers), pending DOGS NSW approval. Lucy has gained four titles this year - a mighty achievement for a little girl who was found in unsatisfactory living conditions & was very skinny & unkempt when rescued three years ago. Her next trial opportunity (chasing that elusive Masters Interiors pass) won't be until mid January.
Here's to Lucy RN SWE SWX SWV SWC!

It's been a few weeks since our last Scent Work trial but last night Lucy attended the Dobermann Club trial at Orchard Hills. While she didn't qualify in either the Masters Containers or Masters Interiors searches (there were only 1 & 4 qualifiers respectively from about 28 dogs in each of these), she did pass the Masters Vehicles search. This means she has now attained her Scent Work Vehicles Element title (SWV), having gained the required 11 vehicle search qualifications over Novice, Advanced, Excellent & Masters levels. Her official name will now be Lucy RN SWE SWX SWV (pending approval by DOGS NSW). This also means that Lucy is now eligible to compete in Ultimate searches (the highest level in Scent Work trials) but we're not planning on that until well into next year. Very proud of this little lady.

NASH!

Nash is a very handsome brindle boy who really wasn’t cut out to be a racer. He had 3 or 4 trainers who all gave up on him until his last trainer understood he really wanted to be a house dog more than anything.

Nash loves his walks & checking out all the new sights & smells in the neighbourhood. He sleeps right though the night, travels well in the car and enjoys getting out and about.

Nash previously spent a couple of months living inside with a pair of Mini Foxies.

He doesn't like to be left outside on his own for any length of time (will bark) so is best suited to an indoor lifestyle with someone home a fair bit – he will happily sit at your feet while you’re working or watching the TV, and push his nose under your arm for a pat.

Nash has a great appetite & will try all foods offered.

Nash would make a great companion for a single, couple or family (children 10 years plus) who are willing to include him into their daily activities.

After losing their longtime Burmese brother, Cino, a few months ago, Max & Tilly would like to introduce you to their new feline family member "Alfie". Alfie does not know quite how lucky he is. After appearing as a stray tomcat on a rural property suffering from tick paralysis only a few weeks ago, he has now well & truly landed on his paws & is living his best life on the North Shore. It's amazing how he has slotted in as if he's lived there all his life. Wishing you a long & happy life Alfie.

It was also big boy Hector's 2nd Gotcha Day a couple of weeks ago. We're told he loves his mum, chips, car rides & his fursister Hayley very much. What a happy chappy (and a lucky boy)
