Kobi'sDaisy Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Hello, We are moving to Canberra in the new year and I was looking at trying to start fostering Greyhounds. Doing a Google search there really doesn't seem to be any around that service the ACT or the surrounds. I was wondering if anyone in here knew of any? We are happy to drive to pick up if needed as Sydney is really not that far. Any help would be appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raelene Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Hi Kobi'sDaisy We hope you enjoy your move to Canberra :) There is no specific greyhound rescue around here, however there are all breed rescues who take Greyhounds. I foster with ARF (www.fosterdogs.org) and we currently have two greyhounds available for adoption. I was minding Hudson for a bit and he is LOVELY. Hope that helps?

Brandiandwe Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 GAP (Greyhounds As Pets) certainly adopts to Canberra and may consider fostering there. Not sure about the other GAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Her Majesty Dogmad Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Might be worth contacting Greyhound Rescue in Sydney run by Peter and Janet - I'm sure they'd be pleased to have a new foster carer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkySoaringMagpie Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Is there a particular reason you are interested in greyhounds? Soul Companions Sighthound Rescue is looking for foster carers at the moment but that would involve being prepared to foster Afghans and Salukis, which are (usually) a little more challenging than greys.

Alyosha Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Might be worth contacting Greyhound Rescue in Sydney run by Peter and Janet - I'm sure they'd be pleased to have a new foster carer! I have fostered for Janet and Peter while living in the Canberra area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobi'sDaisy Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 Thanks for the ideas everyone, I have contacted a few and looks like it definitely is possible, both from rescue's in the ACT and NSW! SkySoaringMagpie: I have had the opportunity to meet a number (sadly) coming through the AWL over the last 3-4 months and have really enjoyed each and every one of them. I never really thought of a sighthound rescue, so thanks! I don't know a lot about them, other than a few breeds but would love to know more. Thanks again everyone, just need to sort out a house that will accommodate my hopes for 2014! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
