Greyhounds as Pets is a non-for-profit initiative rehoming retired Greyhounds.
What do GAP Volunteers do?
There are two types of volunteers who assist our GAP team in preparing greyhounds for their forever homes:
Enrichment volunteers: Enrichment volunteers work alongside our staff at our Western Sydney adoption centre to provide enrichment and socialisation opportunities to the greyhounds in our care. Experience in walking, handling and caring for dogs is desirable, however full training will be provided onsite.
Community engagement volunteers: Community engagement volunteers accompany us to various industry and community events throughout the year, helping to promote the work of the Greyhounds as Pets program. We attend numerous events regularly across the state. Volunteers will engage members of the public, help to promote our amazing Greyhounds and wonderful breed, and will assist in the process of adoptions. Volunteers attending these events should be confident speaking to a variety of different people. Full training and information will be provided prior to any events.
The team at Greyhounds as Pets appreciate the help and support of our wonderful volunteers. Without their support we wouldn’t be able to bring Joy & Happiness to every home and hound.
If you own a greyhound, love greyhounds or even just love dogs in general, please apply to volunteer with us today!
(Please note: Volunteers must be over 18 years of age)
