Mission: Adoptable

Greyhounds can make great family pets and are renowned for their gentle nature and couch potato tendencies, despite their athletic abilities of reaching speeds of 64km/h.

The drive aimed to find new homes for 50 greyhounds.

However, Andrew Holmes from GRV said the drive exceeded expectations.

“We adopted out 70 greyhounds for the week, which was a really strong result,” he said.

Adoption fees were slashed to $50 and every dog adopted also came with a free 4kg bag of Royal Canin dog food.

While Mission: Adoptable has ended, there are plenty of pups who need a new home.
