Greyhounds As Pets SA, also known as the Greyhound Adoption Program SA (GAP SA), is a not-for-profit initiative of Greyhound Racing SA dedicated to finding homes for retired and non-racing greyhounds. Established in 1997, GAP SA aims to educate the public about the gentle nature of greyhounds and promote their adoption as loving pets. Supported by Fresh Pet Food Co, GAP SA works tirelessly to rehome greyhounds and improve the image of these sleek, athletic dogs.
Greyhounds are truly beautiful, affectionate, and gentle animals who thrive on companionship. Retired greyhounds are known for their loving and affectionate nature, making them fantastic pets for individuals and families alike. Despite their athletic build, greyhounds prefer lounging around the house and are content with smaller urban spaces. With their superior health and preference for human companionship, greyhounds bring happiness to both owners and pets.
GAP SA collaborates with dedicated sponsors and volunteers to drive the success of Greyhounds As Pets. Through increased public awareness and education, GAP SA aims to ensure that all unraced and retired greyhounds find permanent, loving homes. If you are interested in fostering or adopting a greyhound, the process is simple and rewarding, offering you the opportunity to welcome a greyhound into your home and experience their love and loyalty firsthand.
