to the welfare of all Greyhounds.
It is our mission to:

Assess the suitability as pets of Greyhounds accepted into the Program and to introduce and educate them to living in a family environment.
Find responsible, loving, long-term homes for as many Greyhounds as possible.
Give lifetime support to GAP Tas greyhounds and their owners.
Liaise with other organisations, in Australia and overseas, with similar goals.
Improve and promote the positive image of Greyhounds and to stimulate the public's desire to own one or more as pets.
Provide accurate advice about the Greyhound breed to other welfare agencies, vets, Government departments, the media and individuals.
Work towards the repealing of Greyhound muzzling laws across Australia.
Encourage improvements in welfare standards involving all Greyhounds, regardless of age or racing status.
Raise funds to acquire a permanent facility for housing, training and rehoming retired Greyhounds.
