Foster homes needed for 6 newly retired greyhounds arriving in September - 4 from Australia and 2 from New Zealand. Thinking of adopting a greyhound, but not completely sure? Consider fostering with intent.

What does this mean? It means that you agree to foster one of our greyhounds upon arrival. While fostering, should you decide that you want to adopt, you may adopt your foster dog. If you feel it is not the right match, we will match the greyhound with potential adopters. We offer a reduced adoption fee for fostering with intent. Please click on the link below to learn all about it.

Read this, then read it again:
"The Greyhound is an intelligent dog that can sometimes come off as stubborn if the training style is against their sighthound instincts, which favor independent thought."
