Foster to Adopt

Thinking about bringing a new pet home can be met with mixed emotions, the excitement of finally having a greyhound to call your own, the worry of what it will be like when it finally happens. We get it!

That’s why Victoria’s Greyhound Adoption Program is excited to announce that our Foster to Adopt initiative is here to stay.

After the amazing success of our Christmas Foster Campaign where 30+ greyhounds were adopted by their foster families, we are extending it all year round.

Every interested adopter now has the option to foster for a 3-week trial period before deciding on whether or not to make it official.

3-weeks to win everyone in the family over. 3-weeks to make sure the breed is right for you. Now for the best part…If at the end of the foster period you can’t bear the thought of living life without your hound – you can adopt them!

If you are interested in trialing one of our gorgeous greyhounds, check out our available dogs here and give GAP a call to organise a meet and greet with what could be your new best friend.

Taurus

3 years old

Taurus says every day is tongue out Tuesday! How cute is he? He's a sweet boy with a puppyish and shy nature, but he tries very hard to please. He needs a quiet home who won't expect him to be a social butterfly - he's an introvert at heart. He would likely be ok with children aged 15 or older, and should be fine with full time workers.

Jeff Lebowski

3 years old

Jeff "The Dude" Lebowski is an adorable pooch, just look at that cute face! Jeff is a young boy who has lots to learn about life and even though he will be turning 4 this year, he still acts like a big puppy! He can find other breeds of dog (other than greyhounds) a little scary, but we feel with a patient owner who will help him by gradually introducing him to other breeds in the right way, he will realise that other breeds of dog are just as good as greyhounds (well almost ;) ). Jeff may suit living with or without another greyhound, children aged 10 years and older and we believe he will do best in a home with a backyard for him to run and play in.
