Angel
Date of Birth: 25th December 2019
Sex: Female
Colour: Brindle
Angel loves to roach, loves zoomies and rolling in the grass. She is a water girl so, a shell pool is a non negotiable. She’s is very sweet and gentle but does need her space at dinner time because she can get snarly if there are other dogs around. (Just protective of her food) She gets along with a female whippet and male greyhound (she’s been off lead with them) and has good recall with her name. She isn’t cat tested. She has been around chickens and does show interest.
FOSTER
Casey
Date of Birth: 5th October 2022
Sex: Female
Colour: Black
Casey loves to zoom at top speed and enjoy her bursts of energy. She’s a quiet girl who is fearful of children and may be best suited to a calm home with working adults.
FOSTER
Scooter
Date of Birth: 25th December 2019
Sex: Male

Scooter is very friendly with all dogs, loves a good zoom, and would enjoy having a playful dog buddy.
FOSTER
Evie

Evie is full of life. She can be a little shy at first, but once comfortable she gets the sillies and shows her playful side.
FOSTER
Rigo
Date of Birth: 8 August 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.
