Most of our greyhounds start their new life at our founder’s property west of Rockhampton — but we can only hold 6 hounds at a time. That’s why fostering is absolutely vital. Every time a greyhound moves into a foster home, it frees up space for another hound to leave the racing system and start their journey to a forever family.

Right now, we have over 40 greyhounds waiting for their chance to come in. By fostering, you’re not just helping one dog — you’re opening the door for the next one, too.

We’re looking for foster carers right across South East Queensland — from the Sunshine Coast to the Gold Coast and Rockhampton and surrounding areas. This gives our greyhounds the very best chance at finding their forever homes, meeting potential adopters, and learning all the joys of pet life.

Fostering truly changes everything for these dogs — and for the next greyhound waiting to come through our gates.

Rigo our longest boy in care

Date of Birth: 08/08/2018
Sex: Male
Colour: Blue
Location: Rockhampton

This handsome noodle is a calm, easygoing soul who truly shines in a quiet, adult-only home. He’s a dream on the lead, strolling politely and soaking up the world at his own relaxed pace. While kids aren’t his cup of tea, he absolutely adores being the centre of attention and would love nothing more than being your one and only, where life is peaceful, predictable, and all the love is just for him.

Why Open Your Home to Foster?

  • Gives a greyhound a second chance to enjoy life as a loved pet after their racing days.
  • A great option if you can’t adopt but still want to help.
  • You’ll see them blossom and enjoy the companionship that comes with fostering.
  • Helps you learn if a greyhound is the right fit for your family.
  • An incredibly rewarding experience — for you and for the hound you help.

Your Role as a Foster Carer

  • Foster carers are a vital part of our rehoming process, giving a greyhound a safe, temporary home while they transition from race dog to family pet.
  • Help them experience life in a house — from learning to walk on a lead to socialising with people and other pets.
  • Teach them the basics of pet life and prepare them for their forever home.
  • Occasionally assist with transporting your foster to events or vet appointments.
  • Provide secure fencing (at least 5ft) and shelter from the weather.
  • Most importantly, offer love, patience and kindness as they find their paws.
