Ever thought about fostering a greyhound?

School holidays begin on Good Friday, April 7, and for families not planning to go away, a greyhound could add a bundle of joy to your home during that period.

Fostering can be extremely rewarding as it is a vital step in helping former race dogs make the transition into family pets.

For many of the dogs it is the first time they will be introduced to things like stairs, slippery floors and noisy household appliances, while the socialising aspect is also a big part of the process, be it with people or other dogs.

GAP is always looking to increase its pool of foster carers, because the more dogs that are fostered, the more that go on to be adopted into loving homes.

And some would say fostering is even more fun than eating chocolate!

To express your interest in fostering over the Easter holiday period please email us at  fostercare@grv.org.au
