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?

LET'S ALL SHARE THIS TO HELP NASH GET NASH HIS FOREVER HOME!
We can't believe that this lovely boy Nash has had no interest since coming into our care. At 3.5yo he has his whole life in front of him. He will need a home where he can be indoors & have human companionship much of the time, but can be left alone for 3-4 hours (so far with doggy company). He does like to get on furniture.....but he wouldn't be a typical Greyhound if he didn't!

MEET 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. Since coming into foster care, Nash has adapted quickly to pet life. He previously spent a couple of months living inside with a pair of Mini Foxies & is currently sharing a home with three other Greyhounds. He has been introduced briefly to a cat but has not been fully assessed. He doesn’t like being 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. He will try counter-surfing given half the opportunity – so be forewarned! Nash loves his walks & checking out all the new sights & smells in the neighbourhood. He sleeps right though the night & is enjoying his fleecy coat when he goes to bed now that the nights are getting cooler. He travels well in the car & enjoys outings to new places.

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.

No qualifications again in our two Masters searches at last night's Dobermann Club scent work trial at Orchard Hills. There were about 20 dogs entered in Masters - but no qualifiers in Masters Interiors & only two dogs passed Masters Exteriors. However, Lucy did come home with the judge's choice award for her Exteriors search - she really enjoyed herself despite the chilly night.

Orange is definitely Nash's colour, don't you think? He really loves his polar fleece coat which keeps him snug at night. Just doesn't like his photo being taken apparently....couldn't get him to smile for the camera for love nor money!! 😆
