Foster homes are the
framework of our adoption group and more are always needed for us to
build and grow. Foster "parents" provide temporary, loving care for
Greyhounds on their way to new lives. The effort isn’t all that taxing,
but the rewards and gratification of fostering a Greyhound cannot be
adequately explained in words. When you foster, you actually help two
Greyhounds - the one you are fostering, and another waiting to come into
our program.
Fostering is also a key part of the “right dog/right family” focus. The
care for your foster, its chance to be introduced to ‘pet life’, and
insights and knowledge of the individual dog gained while fostering
allow more ideal matching with prospective adopters – the end result is
more and better adoptions.
If you live in our GPA/EC area and would like to foster, please consider
fostering at least once a year to help a deserving greyhound on its
journey to a permanent, loving home. To find out how the program works, contact our
Foster Home Coordinator for information.
