Fostering                                                                                          

• Do you currently have a greyhound and can't have another, but your greyhound enjoys the company of other greyhounds?
• Did you recently lose a greyhound or other breed of dog and are not ready to adopt again yet?
• Are you busy and travel a lot (and don't have time to have a dog permanently) but enjoy the company of dogs?
• Are you retired and have time to devote to volunteering for a good cause?

If you foster several greyhounds a year, think of how much that will mean to the lives of those greyhounds! You may worry that you would not be able to give up a greyhound easily but your initial bout of sadness and loss will soon turn to joy and satisfaction once you see your foster greyhound in a loving home and the happy adopters thank you for doing such a good job of getting him/her ready for a new life! You will understand the true meaning of selfless giving!

Since we do not have a kennel we must foster greyhounds from the time that they come from the track until they go into their forever homes. Foster families are the backbone of most greyhound adoption and rescue groups; therefore, your willingness to foster is a most important part of our work!! If this seems like something you may want to get involved in please contact us at adoption@afterthetrack.ca or complete a Foster Home Application.
