News from foster sister Zoe

Zoe lives in Brisbane and has been a foster sister to hundreds of houndies.
We caught up with her to find out more!

Us: Hi Zoe. You’ve been a foster sister to many rescued Greyhounds. Can you tell us more about that?

Zoe: Hi, yes I’ve been helping my hoomans with fostering since 2015.

At my place we have houndies who stay with us for a short time.
This is so they can go to the vet and get well before they head off to their foster homes. 

We also have foster houndies who stay here a bit longer.
They live with me and my sister and hoomans until they find their forever home.  

Last year I helped 51 houndies start their new lives. It was a really busy year. 

Us: As a foster sister, what is your job?

Zoe: I welcome all of the new houndies into my home, I help them learn all about life as a pet.
I go on walks with them.
I share my toys and lounge chairs.
Mostly they haven’t lived in a house before so I help them feel safe and loved.

Us: What would you say to other houndies and hoomans who are thinking about fostering?

Zoe: I suggest you give it a go.
It’s so much fun and you get to meet  lots of lovely hounds… and hoomans too.
I see them change from being scared, sad and often really skinny into happy dogs who love life.
I make so many new friends.

Us: It sounds like fostering is very rewarding.
You are doing such a greyt job, thanks Zoe.
And a big thanks to Zoe’s humans, Eileen and John.

And to all the houndies and hoomans out there who are considering fostering, please contact us, we’d love to hear from you.
