Fostering a greyhound over the holidays can create lasting memories for your family. The experience of providing care, love, and support to a dog in need is a heartwarming and meaningful way to celebrate the season.

The holidays can be lonely for both people and animals. Fostering a greyhound helps the dog and provides companionship and a sense of fulfilment for foster families during the festive season.

The Greyhounds As Pets Team will help match you with a dog that fits your home and lifestyle well.

Here are 7 reasons why fostering during this festive season is a great idea!
Give a Home for the Holidays: Provides a temporary home for a dog that would otherwise be in a kennel.
  1. Spread Cheer: The holiday season is about spreading joy and goodwill. Fostering a greyhound allows you to contribute to the well-being of a dog and bring happiness to your home.
  2. Temporary Commitment: Fostering is temporary, making it an ideal option for those who may not be ready for a long-term commitment but still want to help a greyhound.
  3. Socialication Opportunities: Fostering provides an excellent opportunity for socialisation for the greyhound. Exposure to different people, environments, and experiences helps them become more adaptable and increases their chances of finding a permanent home faster.
  4. Learn About the Breed: Fostering lets you learn about the greyhound breed firsthand. Understanding their unique characteristics can help you provide valuable information to potential adopters, increasing the likelihood of successful placements.
  5. Contribute to Adoption Success: Provides a chance to assess the greyhound's behaviour, habits, and compatibility with different living situations. This information is invaluable for potential adopters and contributes to successful permanent placements.
  6. Educate Others: Fostering allows you to share your experiences with friends and family, raising awareness about greyhounds as pets and the importance of fostering and adoption.

Greyhound Adoption Days

The best chance to get to know your new best friend. Our dog adoption days let you meet all types of greyhounds with unique personalities. We promise that you’ll fall in love with at least one special friend following a session of patting, cuddling and scratching at a pet adoption day. Learn everything that you need to know about the adoption journey and get a feel for which pet might be the best fit for your family.

We place greyhounds in homes based on their personality so everyone gets a perfect match. Feel free to ask away and our friendly team will answer all of your questions. A dog adoption day with Greyhounds As Pets is the first step towards bringing a four-legged friend into your life.

Pre-Assessment Days

We hold pre-assessment days that will determine whether your greyhounds are suitable for life as a pet and entry into the GAP program . To be eligible, we’ll ask for proof of C5 vaccinations and at least a 4 week let down period after their last race/trial. A general details form will also need to be completed and returned to us before confirming any future appointments.

Please contact our team for further information on booking a pre-assessing session.
