Overview

If you indulge in a little dog-spotting when wandering the streets, it won't be long until a greyhound, aka the longest of long boys, crosses your gaze. That's in no small part due to the Greyhound Adoption Program's enduring work, with the organisation now gearing up to celebrate its 30th birthday.

Taking over the Abbotsford Convent from 8am on Monday, March 16, this major milestone honours all those who have adopted, fostered, volunteered or just followed the organisation over the years.

For those heading along to this free event, expect meet-and-greets with GAP greyhounds and the chance to mingle with fellow long boy lovers. Meanwhile, Nova 100's Street Team will be elevating the moment with live music and giveaways.

Alongside coffee, treats and activities for the whole family, there's one more happening worth sticking around for. That'd be a much-loved Aussie TV personality adopting GAP's 20,000th greyhound — a fitting landmark as you navigate the many long noses and wagging tails in attendance.
