People use many words to describe their pet greyhounds; lazy, silly, gentle, loyal; but we’re adding another to the list: ‘regal’.

The greyhound is, without doubt, the breed of dog that most certainly deserves the title of ‘the noble breed’.

The greyhound is the only dog mentioned in the Bible. Got a serious mention in The Odyssey and Canterbury Tales. Even Shakespeare gave greyhounds a run in Henry V and Macbeth. They were lauded by royalty for centuries.

And now it’s your turn…

You can add some grand class to your home this weekend when GAP Seymour hosts the next greyhound adoption day.

Adoption days are the easiest way you can meet, and potentially take home, a former racing greyhound looking for retirement. There will be 70 dogs available, so you’re destined to find the right mate.

Even if you’re just wondering about adoption at the moment, you’re welcome to come along to meet the dogs and ask the GAP experts any questions you like.

There’s another bonus this weekend; GAP is waiving the adoption fee for all greyhounds.

The Greyhound Adoption day this Saturday, November 16 from 10am until 3pm.

GAP Seymour is a bit over an hour north of Melbourne. Take the Hume Highway and take the Goulburn Valley Highway exit towards Seymour.

Follow the form below to register for the event.

For any further information required, please don’t hesitate to contact GAP on 5799 0166.

  I adopted a 7.5 year old border collie 4 years ago.. he is lovely, kind and smart. It's hard to believe that the previous owner left him in a small backyard to die from neglect. The industry needs to be better regulated and maybe a basic empathy test for potential dog owners.

    Anyone can appear nice for a day to get a dog. I question why people who neglect dogs get one in the first place, but that's a different story.

      Tis the season where people get the grand idea that instead of spending any money, they can simply gift an animal they obtain for free.

      I'm glad they put checks and delays in place to weed out those looking for a cheap "gift" instead of looking to adopt a companion and accepting the responsibility that comes with it.

  Kudos to everyone who adopts an adult pet vs. buying a kitten/puppy. There are too many unwanted :( sweet animals out there already.

  While I realise everyone loves a bargain, I sure hope some of the adopters donate to their adoption group. Even a bag of kibble helps.
