.....Voting has now ended for the Paws and Claws Awards.... A BIG thank you to all those who voted for Friends of the Hound. The Paws & Claws Awards are dedicated to pay tribute and gratitude to the fantastic people within the Pet & Animal Industry that make a difference to our lives and the lives of our animals. Friends of the Hound Inc. were in the running for the "Biggest Heart" category. This category is for an organisation that spends their time helping animals in our community, through volunteering and other activities; and inspires us towards the welfare of animals. Now we wait..... the winners will be announced on Sunday 5th September at the Gold Coast Animal & Pet Expo at Varsity Lakes. Let's hope we score a win for Greyhounds. Again, many thanks to everyone who supported us. |

Turbo is an energetic, playful, happy boy. He is 3 years old but still thinks he is a puppy. He loves playing ball, running & playing with other dogs, & adores kids. This affectionate hound would ideally suit an active family with kids & a playful canine companion. To find out more please check out our Available Greyhound page |

WE NEED YOUR HELP ! Friends of the Hound need to transport our rescued and fostered greyhounds over considerable distances - from the North Coast of NSW to Gladstone QLD, and distances in-between (ie. Tweed - Gold Coast - Brisbane - Sunshine Coast - Bundaberg). We are in need of people travelling up and down the coast or between these regions who are willing to take a greyhound on their trip. Our Co-ordinators can meet at prominent points along the motorway or highway for easy pick-up and drop-off. If at any time you are travelling between any of these regions and are able to help with transporting one of our lovely greyhounds, please contact us on the numbers below or send us an email admin@friendsofthehound.org.au Leanne - 0413 696 665 (Brisbane) Lisa - 0416 194 864 (Gold Coast/Tweed) Katrina - 0423 840 448 (Sunshine Coast) This assistance will greatly benefit our rescue and rehoming efforts and be very much appreciated. Please note that Greyhounds are excellent car travellers and generally lay down for the trip. |
