Greyt Turnout at the Dunkley's Pet Expo in Hamilton

Hi everyone!

Dunkley's Pet Expo in Hamilton took place last weekend. We had loads of hounds and owners come to help out on the stand - including some we hadn't seen for ages, and some who stayed well beyond their shifts!

There's something magical about spending time talking to people who love dogs, and who love greyhounds in particular. We answered lots of questions, handed out stacks of brochures,   and the hounds soaked up masses of love. Less than 24 hours after the Expo ended, we already have 2 new adoption applications!

I'd like to especially acknowledge the 'regulars' who contribute to every possible GAP event; Maureen and Bree (Homebush Bree), Rosemary and Chelsea (Connie), Jackie and Blue (Blue Rage), Sandra and Roy (Big Rig Baz), Gary and Riley (Elite Impact), Stephanie and Jodi (Kirsten Deal), Peter and Sheila and Riley (unraced), Sheila and Tess (Whata Lady), Kathy and Sparky (Another Sparky) and Willow (Stumpy Kashkow), and of course Victoria and Lily (Praise)!. In addition, it was wonderful to welcome back Colin and Jody with Floyd (Kareem), Murray and Luckana with Rose (Jubilee Line), Miruna, Anka and Victor; Kirstine and Dev; Diniece and Rob with Bob (Yambla Bob); and Crystal with Moe (Tussy).

The raffle was won by a fellow stall holder from the Endurance Dog Association.

We appreciate every single one of you. We couldn't do it without you!!It was another hugely successful GAP promotion - we're looking forward to many more.
