FRIENDS OF THE HOUND NEEDS YOUR HELP. WE NEED FOSTER CARERS TO PROVIDE A TEMPORARY HOME SO THE GREYHOUNDS WE HAVE WAITING TO COME IN TO OUR PROGRAM HAVE A CHANCE TO LIVE AND GO ON TO HAVE A HAPPY FUTURE AS FAMILY PETS & COMPANIONS. THE REALITY IS THAT THESE LOVELY REHOMABLE DOGS - SOME OF WHICH ARE VERY YOUNG, WILL BE DESTROYED BECAUSE THERE IS NO WHERE FOR THEM TO GO. We are looking for foster carers in BRISBANE, SUNSHINE COAST & GOLD COAST/TWEED.
Foster carers are such an important part of our rescue & rehoming process, so if you have some time, love, & a secure yard to provide a temporary home for one of our Greyhounds - please contact us now. We will provide food and all medications for your foster greyhound. All we ask is if you could provide a bed, a bowl and a loving environment. Friends of the Hound also require help with transportation, promotional events, & fundraising. As a small, not-for-profit group with limited resources & finances, we rely heavily on the kindness & generosity of the community & DONATIONS to continue our successful rescue & rehoming program. Please consider becoming a MEMBER & support the greyhound cause. Friends of the Hound also has merchandise available that you can purchase. It all helps. Please help us to help these dogs. |

However, through the assistance of wonderful carers and supporters from further afield we generally have available Greyhounds located in other areas throughout South-East Queensland and New South Wales (eg. Sunshine Coast QLD, Sydney, Newcastle, Central Coast, South Coast NSW & ACT). |
