Mattie and Marie's bespoke coats / GAP annual appeal fundraiser

I've teamed up with Mattie (Mattie Blueblood / currently available for adoption in the South Island) to raise funds for Greyhounds as Pets' Annual Appeal Week.

Appeal Week is GAP's biggest fundraising event of the year, and every little bit helps towards our mission of finding loving pet homes for Greyhounds leaving the industry.

To date, GAP have matched thousands of retired racing Greyhounds with their loving, forever homes - and your donation helps with things such as flea & worm treatments, behavioural and physiotherapy consultations, unexpected veterinary costs and collars, leads, beds and crates for foster care.

I'm a little bit crafty (in both senses) and have been working on a collection of bespoke wool coats and so everyone who sponsors us here will go in to a draw to win something really special for their hound, either something already made or something by collaboration.

If you do not have a Greyhound you can choose to send Mattie off to her new forever home with the first piece in her wardrobe.

A bit about Mattie:

Mattie is 7yrs old (heading off to pet life a little later than usual but she did have some babies post racing) - a sweet and affectionate girl who loves attention and being around people but she does have a cheeky playful side to her generally calm demeanor. She likes to be out and about and part of the action, and she will likely try to put the brakes on if she thinks she is being taken away from the fun. Social with other dogs, she will make a loyal pet, and train her new owner appropriately.

A bit about Marie:

Hi! I am Marie and I have been part of the amazing GAP team for nearly 5 years managing all the incoming adoption applications. Super rewarding job which I love!
