OUR MISSION
The Greyhound Adoption Program, most commonly referred to as
G.A.P. is a non profit program run by volunteers and a project of
The Greyhound Racing Authority of Queensland.

It is our mission to...............

Find suitable, loving, long term homes for racing greyhounds whose careers have come to an end.
Educate the public of the true Greyhound personality, remove misconceptions and mistaken views that many people have of this wonderful, gentle, majestic animal.
Encourage a more positive image of the greyhound and to stimulate the public's desire to own a Greyhound as a family pet.
Prepare and assess the greyhounds suitability as a loving and loyal family pet.
Give on going, long term support to the Greyhound and its new owners.

WANT TO BECOME A FOSTER CARER ?
The Greyhound Adoption Program is always looking for Foster Carers.

"NO SPECIAL QUALIFICATIONS NEEDED."

Just a little love, a lot of patience and a fenced yard.  Fostering means taking a greyhound for a period of about 4-6 weeks.  During thins time GAP will provide all the food and equipment needed for the greyhound.
Foster Carers help the greyhound adjust to life as a "pet."  Assessment of the greyhound is an important part of helping GAP make sure that the right dog goes to the right home.
Foster Carers introduce their new greyhound to such things as vacuum cleaners, glass doors, stairs etc.  Most greyhounds have never learned to play, as their lives have all been business.  Giving them time to learn how to play is a vital part of adapting the greyhound to life as a pet.

become a loving family pet
