Do you want a companion for your greyhound, but not sure if you want to adopt a second greyhound on a permanent basis? Is the time right to foster a greyhound now that your greyhound has settled in? Or, do you just want to help a greyhound find his forever couch. Or maybe you would like to foster a senior greyhound. Our foster families are very important to us. Fostering one greyhound a year will save lives.

Fostering 101

We frequently hear from potential foster families, "I am afraid that I will get too attached to a foster greyhound and not be able to give him or her up."  While it can be very difficult and an emotional time when the big adoption day arrives, remember that if you adopt, you can save one, but if you foster a greyhound(s), you can save many more.  Our foster families are the backbone of our group.  We can only take in as many greyhounds as we have foster homes.  Fostering a new greyhound has great rewards and is an unforgettable experience.  You will have truly made a difference to a deserving greyhound. 

We provide food, heartworm, flea preventative, and a crate if you do not have one. 

You provide love and attention, a few toys, and a soft bed. 

When you get your new foster, you will introduce him or her to glass sliding doors, windows, hardwood floors, household noise, car rides, and stairs.  The majority of greyhounds have never had to walk up or down stairs and some find them challenging and frightening.  Most of them are easily able to learn how to walk up and down carpeted stairs.

If you have an older greyhound and are hesitant to bring in a younger greyhound into your house, please consider fostering a senior greyhound.  There are many older greyhound waiting for adoption groups.  There are no adequate words to express the joys of fostering a senior greyhound.

If you would like to help prepare a greyhound for its new forever home, we would love to talk to you about the joys and greyt rewards of fostering!  If you can only foster one greyhound once a year, it would be a big difference.
