Why foster?

What's involved/required?

Fostering gives a greyhound a second chance to live out their natural lives as pets after their athletic career is finished.
Fostering is a great alternative if you can't adopt.
Not only does the greyhound benefit from your decision of becoming a foster carer, you will benefit from the companionship and satisfaction of seeing these beautiful dogs blossom.
Fostering gives you the chance to decide if a greyhound is the right
breed for your family.
Fostering is an extremely rewarding experience.
