gapvic Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Hi all, Chris Brown and the 7pm Project producers were up at GAP filming the story last week for airing tonight on the show. Our adoptions are pretty slow at present so we're keeping fingers and toes crossed that this will help move them along a bit :-)! Larissa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mita Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Hi all, Chris Brown and the 7pm Project producers were up at GAP filming the story last week for airing tonight on the show. Our adoptions are pretty slow at present so we're keeping fingers and toes crossed that this will help move them along a bit :-)! Larissa They should also interview people who are neighbours to people who've adopted ex-racing greyhounds...like us. Greys not only make wonderful pets but they are the loveliest dogs to have living next door. Affectionate, not rabble rousers, cruisy & calm (they only go all out, when they have a sprint)....with the most beautiful eyes!!!! I'd like to see greys used more for pet therapy in nursing homes (their height & calm make them perfect). Also, if someone will look to the daily walks & bathing, mature aged greys are wonderful pets for the elderly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faytiges Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Cant wait to see the show, as a Greyt owner (my 2nd) they are THE BEST pets. Having had Setters previously (show dogs) which I totally adored, these dogs are just so misunderstood by the general public. So quiet, and just real couch potatoes!!! Hope the show gets lots of enquiries for adoption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Mita.I have two rescue greys and all my neighbours love them especially my 90 year old neighbours who tell me daily what they get up to.For instance today they picked the the chokoes off their vine and ran around the backyard throwing them at each other!

Katdogs Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 19000 - 450 = Good story, a bit rushed at the end when they were all chatting but I don't usually watch the show so maybe that's normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wednesday Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Watched it as well. A great segment. Fingers crossed it helps home some of these lovely dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very sad numbers I agree. Prior to GAP I wouldn't like to imagine what it would have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shapeshifter Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) Is there a GAP NSW? LOL don't worry found it http://www.gapnsw.org.au/ for everyone else. Edited May 26, 2011 by halo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Age Outlaw Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 19000 - 450 = Unfortunate, thought the 19000 was Australia wide and the 450 was Victoria only (I think), but still, it can be improved, which is something all the GAPs around Australia have been working on. The story was good...should create more interest from adopters! Stumpy looks like a cutie!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedazzledx2 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 When I retire and can no longer do dog sports I'm gunna get me a couple of greys I've met quite a few ex racers and they are the most gorgeous dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KitKat Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Does the QLD site still have the pics of Grey's they have waiting for adoption? Have a friend at work who might be interested...but i looked on the site but can't find pics of those available...just to start them looking...
