Going Grey Application

The greyhounds who come into our care that require foster care are racing greyhounds – they are used to highly regimented lifestyles, with few options or choices to make daily.

Learning how they behave in a domestic setting can be quite an adjustment, so there are some special requirements for greyhound foster homes. This is so they can conformably adjust to being part of a family and home environment.

Our greyhounds prefer not to share the spotlight, so they must be the only animal. They are a good fit for older, dog-savvy kids (8+ years) who know how to read a dog’s body language. Their favourite thing in the world is spending time with people, so you will need to be home more often than not – this means they make the perfect working-from-home companion! They will find certain things awkward because they would not have lived in a home environment before. For this reason, we ask that you live in a single-level property with minimal stairs.
