🐾 OLDER GREYHOUND SPOTLIGHT — MEET DAVEY! 🐾

We’ve been working our way through some of the older greyhounds looking for homes, and a new face has appeared who jumps straight to the top of our list. ❤️

At 9 years old, Davey is now the eldest greyhound we’ve come across currently available through GAP SA — and this beautiful gentleman deserves some extra attention.

Davey has spent the past few months enjoying life in foster care, where he’s shown himself to be a calm, gentle and wonderfully loving boy. He adores cuddles and affection and even has the sweetest habit of nudging his favourite person’s hand when he decides it’s time for more pats. 🥹

Don’t let 9 fool you either! Davey still enjoys playing with his toys before settling down for one of those all-important greyhound naps. And apparently the way to his heart may just be through his stomach — boiled chicken is VERY high on his list of favourite things! 😂🍗

🏡 Davey’s ideal home:
• He’d like a medium-to-large canine companion
• He can manage part-time hours at home with his doggy friend
• A quieter household would suit him best
• Best suited with older teenage children
• Not suitable with cats
• Davey has an easily treatable medical condition — GAP staff can provide further information

At nine years old, Davey isn’t asking for much. A peaceful home, a comfy bed, a doggy mate, plenty of cuddles and perhaps the occasional bit of boiled chicken. ❤️

Older greyhounds can so easily be overlooked for the younger faces, which is exactly why we started these posts.

Let’s make sure Davey isn’t overlooked.

Please share Davey far and wide and help this beautiful older gentleman find the loving home where he can spend his next chapter thoroughly spoilt. 🏡🐾💚

🐾 OLDER GREYHOUND SPOTLIGHT — MEET IKE! 🐾

Today we’re continuing our mission to shine a light on some of the older greyhounds currently waiting at GAP — and today it’s Irresistible Ike’s turn! 🖤

At 6 years old, Ike (who raced as Galactic Anubis) is a super friendly, confident boy who absolutely loves people. He’s chilled, happy, cuddly and always ready for a pat or snuggle. 🥰

He also loves getting out to explore the neighbourhood, and while treats are definitely appreciated, toys are his absolute favourite and bring out his playful side! 🧸

🏡 Ike’s ideal home:
• As an only dog OR with a medium-to-large female friend
• Can happily stay home alone during full-time work hours
• Children over 8
• Not suitable with cats, poultry or pocket pets

At 6, Ike still has plenty of zest for life, but he’s also got that lovely mature-greyhound side to him. He sounds like a pretty fantastic combination — adventure when you want it, cuddles when you don’t. ❤️

Let’s get this handsome boy seen! Every share gives Ike another chance of landing on the screen of the person who’s been waiting for him. 🏡🐾

🐾 SENIOR SPOTLIGHT — MEET ELSIE 🐾

Today our older-greyhound spotlight turns to Elsie, and don’t let the grey around this girl’s face fool you — apparently nobody has told Elsie she’s meant to be an older lady! 😂🖤

Elsie, who raced as Spring Elsie, was born 11/03/2020 and is now 6 years old. She’s a petite 27kg girl who GAP describes as sweet, confident, curious and energetic — with the energy of a pup!

Unlike some of the dogs we’ve shared so far, Elsie is currently looking for a FOSTER home, where she can continue learning more about life outside racing and experience more of the big wide world. 🏡

She loves getting out and about, loves to play and, importantly, takes her role as household treat taste-tester VERY seriously. 😂🍖

🏡 Elsie’s ideal foster home:
• She can be an only dog, or live with a medium-to-large tolerant/playful male dog
• She can manage full-time hours at home, with or without another dog
• Best suited to children 12+ because of her strength and energy
• Would suit a more active household
• Not suitable with cats, poultry or pocket pets

Elsie might have a little silver on her face, but there is clearly plenty of life, fun and mischief left in this girl yet. ❤️

And this is exactly why we started sharing these older dogs. They can so easily be overlooked when people see an age first — but behind that number is an individual dog with their own personality and so much still to offer.

For Elsie, the next step isn’t even forever just yet.

She simply needs someone willing to give her a foster home and help her take that next step.

Could that be you? 🖤🐾

Please SHARE ELSIE — even if you can’t foster her yourself, somebody on your friends list might be exactly who she’s waiting for.

🐾 SENIOR SPOTLIGHT — MEET DENZELL 🐾

Day 4 of sharing some of the older greyhounds currently looking for their forever homes through GAP SA — and today we have an 8-year-old gentleman with a very big heart. 🖤

Meet Denzell, affectionately described by his family as a big teddy bear. 🧸

Denzell raced as Denzell Bale, but these days he’s well and truly embraced retirement life. His idea of a good day? Snoozing on his bed, curling up behind your work chair like your own personal shadow, getting plenty of pats… and making sure you don’t forget when it’s time for his walk! 😂

This beautiful boy loves his people. Apparently every visitor who comes through the door is immediately assumed to have arrived specifically to give Denzell pats — and really, who are we to tell him otherwise? ❤️

He loves his walks, loves his food and might even perform a trick if there’s something tasty in it for him!

🏡 Denzell’s ideal home:
• Best suited as an only dog
• A home where his people work part-time hours
• Suitable with children 8+
• Not suitable with cats, poultry or pocket pets
• Already has plenty of experience living in a home
• Gentle, affectionate and happiest being close to his humans

He’s even lived with an 8-year-old child, so this old boy already knows plenty about family life.

At 8 years old, Denzell shouldn’t be overlooked because of the number beside his name. For the right person, all that age means is eight years of becoming the beautiful, settled, affectionate character he is today.

He’s done the racing. He’s learnt the home life.

Now he just needs the forever part. 🏡🖤

Please give Denzell a share — his person could be sitting somewhere scrolling Facebook right now.

🐾 SENIOR SPOTLIGHT — MEET PERSO 🐾

Next up in our mission to help some of GAP SA’s older greyhounds find their forever homes is beautiful Perso. 🖤

At 8 years young, Perso certainly hasn’t forgotten how to have fun! Her race name was Perseverance, and this gorgeous girl is described as playful, outgoing and affectionate, with a love for pats and a good set of zoomies. 😂💨

Perso can be a little bouncy when she first gets excited, but she soon settles down. She’d enjoy having a yard to stretch those legs in, but GAP says she could also happily adapt to any size home.

🏡 Her perfect home:
• She can be an only dog OR live with another dog of any size
• Suitable for children 5+
• Can happily be left alone for full-time work hours
• Loves people, pats and affection ❤️
• Not suitable to live with cats or pocket pets
• GAP notes she has seen chickens in the home and has been good around them

At eight years old, Perso deserves to spend her retirement being someone’s much-loved family member. And for someone looking for an older greyhound who still has some get-up-and-go, she might just be the girl. 🥰

Older greyhounds have so much love left to give. Let’s get Perso’s face out there and see if we can find her person.

👉 Share, tag someone who might be looking, or contact Greyhounds As Pets SA to enquire about Perso.

🐾 OUR OLDER GREYHOUNDS — MEET STRIPE 🐾

Next up in our daily spotlight on the older greyhounds currently waiting for homes through GAP SA is Sweetheart Stripe. 💙

At 8 years young, Stripe is a big 33kg ball of love and affection who enjoys the good things in life — playtime, running around, relaxing in the sunshine and, perhaps most importantly, his snacks! 😂☀️

His favourites apparently include Arrowroot biscuits and the occasional McDonald’s soft serve — so this boy clearly knows how retirement should be done! 🍦

🏡 Stripe’s ideal home:
• As an only dog or with a medium-to-large female companion
• He can happily stay home by himself for full-time work hours
• Suitable for children aged 5+
• No cats, poultry or pocket pets
• Plenty of cuddles are apparently compulsory ❤️

GAP describes Stripe as a boy who loves everyone, is sweet and affectionate, loves a play and run around but is equally happy spending the day lying in the sun.

At 8 years old, this snuggly older gentleman is simply looking for the right person to give him his forever home and the retirement he deserves. 🏡

Please SHARE Stripe far and wide. Someone out there could be looking for exactly this big, cuddly boy — they just need to see him. 💙🐾

💚 Stripe is currently available for adoption through Greyhounds As Pets SA.

🐾 OUR OLDER GREYHOUNDS — MEET TEEBY 🐾

We’re kicking off our daily spotlight on some of the older greyhounds currently waiting for homes through GAP SA, and first up is Terrific Teeby! 💙

At 8 years young, Teeby raced under the name Hatters Lane and is described as a super-friendly, confident and loving boy who absolutely loves people. He can still get a little excited, but he’s also more than happy to settle in for a good old-fashioned snooze. 🛋️

🏡 Teeby’s ideal home:
• He can be an only dog or live with a medium-to-large female dog
• He’s comfortable being home alone for full-time work hours
• No cats, poultry or pocket pets
• GAP lists him for a home with older children
• He’s a solid boy at around 30kg

At eight years old, Teeby deserves the chance to spend his retirement being somebody’s much-loved companion.

Maybe his person simply hasn’t seen him yet. That’s where all of us can help. ❤️

Please SHARE Teeby far and wide. You never know whose newsfeed he might land on — and one share could be the one that finds this gorgeous older boy his home. 🏡🐾

💚 Teeby is currently available for adoption through Greyhounds As Pets SA.

Next up tomorrow, we’ll introduce another of the eldest greyhounds currently waiting.

🐾 LET’S HELP OUR OLDER GREYHOUNDS FIND THEIR HOMES 🏡💙

We’ve been having a look through the greyhounds currently listed with GAP SA and noticed there are quite a few older dogs still waiting for their chance at a home.

So we thought — let’s give them a little extra help getting seen! ❤️

Starting TODAY, we’re going to feature one of the older GAP greyhounds each day, beginning with the eldest currently listed and working our way down.

We’ll share their profile, photos and information and hopefully, with a few extra sets of eyes and plenty of shares, we can help connect some of these beautiful dogs with the right person or family.

Older greyhounds have so much love to give, and we’d love nothing more than to see them enjoying life where they belong — on a couch, in a home and with a family of their own. 🛋️🐾

You can help even if you’re not looking to adopt — share their posts, tag your friends and help us get these beautiful older greyhounds seen.

💙 Our first senior will be featured TODAY — starting with one of the eldest currently waiting.

Let’s see how many we can help find their forever homes! 🏡🐾
