I FIND THESE QUESTIONS RELEVENT TO ALL OWNERS THAT HAVE NOT THOUGHT OFF WHAT TO DO WITH THERE DOGS AFTER RACING...
UNFORTUNATLY WE CAN NOT ADDOPT EVERY DOG THAT COMES OUR WAY AND AT TIMES FELL UP SET THAT OWNERS HAVNT EVEN BOTHERED TO TRY AND ACCOMADATE THERE BUDDIES AT THE END OF THERE CAREER.

THESE SHOULD HELP OUT ANY 1 LOOKING FOR THIS TYPE OF ADVISE..

Answers from the GAP Desk

How do I place my greyhound into the GAP Adoption Program?
Please fill out an application form and post or drop it into the Cannington office or phone GAP on (08) 9458 4600 so that your
greyhound may be placed onto the waiting list.

How long is the waiting time once my greyhound goes onto the waiting list?

This will vary depending on the availability of foster homes and the number of dogs being adopted into forever homes. We always
have more greyhounds available to us than foster homes or permanent forever homes. We can only take a limited number of dogs
into foster care at any one time and are unable to take dogs in at short notice. Greyhounds can often get into GAP more quickly

if they are cat friendly.
When is the best time to put my dog onto the GAP waiting list?

Because of the unavoidable time delay, we encourage owners/trainers to put their greyhound onto the waiting list well before
the dog retires from the track. It is generally a good idea to place your dog onto the waitlist at least six months before your dog
finishes racing.

What if my greyhound is on the GAP waiting list and I change my mind?

No problems! If you find an alternative home for the dog before GAP can take it in, or if you decide to keep the dog for breeding
etc, we would appreciate a call to let us know that this greyhound is no longer available so that we can then take it off our list.
If we call you to advise that we are up to your spot, and you are not yet ready for the dog to go, that’s fine too. Your dog will simply
remain at the top of the waiting list. When you call to advise that the dog is now ready to enter GAP, we can take the dog when
we have an available foster home.

We have my first greyhound home with us now as you know.....couldn't ask for a better pet, and if anyone is looking I thoroughly recommend a greyhound.

I can highly recommend to anyone that is considering a pet greyhound, that they are the most relaxed, friendly dogs around.

They play well with kids and other dogs and enjoy a good relaxation for the most part of the day!

Will post some pics and videos of Timmy in the next few weeks!
