Greyhound as Pets (GAP)
Greyhounds As Pets (GAP) is an independent charitable trust established by Greyhound Racing New Zealand to find pet homes for retired racing greyhounds.
Due to misconceptions about the breed, greyhounds are generally not considered when choosing a pet, and while many racing owners try to rehome their dogs, there is a definite lack of good homes. GAP aims to find loving homes for as many ex-racers as possible and is working to inform the public about the true and wonderful nature of greyhounds!
GAP rehomes greyhounds nationally through its kennel bases in Sanson, Manawatu in the North Island and Amberley in the South Island. You are very welcome to visit our kennels but we would appreciate if you could please make an appointment prior to your visit.
You can help by becoming a volunteer, a foster home or a steadfast friend.
For more information on this fantastic breed, or if you can assist us, please visit us at:
