Want to skip the waitlist? Ask us about our Trainer/Owner Assisted Adoption Program
Essentially this program provides all the benefits of rehoming a greyhound through GAP without the wait.
After a passed pre-assessment, if you have found someone interested in adopting your greyhound they will skip the waitlist.
You get the benefit of freeing your kennel up quicker and the new owner gets access to all the resources a GAP dog is entitled to including; sterilization, a Green Collar assessment, food, bed, muzzle, lead and support from our Animal Behaviourist.
Get in contact with GAP to see how the Trainer/Owner Assisted Adoption Program can work for you – 9445 5399.
