Can you help us by becoming a foster carer?

Our foster network is near full capacity.
We have a huge waiting list of Greyhounds to bring into our program.

Cat-free foster homes are urgently required.

If you have been considering fostering or adopting a dog, please have a think about doing it now.

You can help us to get as many dogs as possible out of this terrible industry and into loving homes.

About Foster Caring for Friends of the Hound

The foster carer’s role involves providing a temporary home while the Greyhound transitions from their old racing life to a family companion.

You will be exposing these Greyhounds to living in a house, the joy of walking for fun and socialising with other animals… the gorgeous Greyhounds get to live and learn about life as a companion, while being prepared for a future in a permanent home.

Not only does the Greyhound benefit from your decision of becoming a foster carer, you will benefit from the companionship, rewards and satisfaction, and the best part is that the Friends of the Hound will be able to save more greyhound lives!

It’s a WIN – WIN – WIN.
