FRIENDS OF THE HOUND URGENTLY NEED MORE FOSTER CARERS
Unfortunately the number of Greyhounds that need rescuing & rehoming is endless and heartbreaking. If you are willing to provide a temporary home for one of our lovely Greyhounds until a permanent, loving home can be found, or want further information about the fostering process,

please contact Lisa on

02 6677 9115 or

The satisfaction of helping to save a life is most rewarding.

 
     
     
 

Our Greyhounds are based mainly in the

Northern Rivers, Gold Coast and Greater Brisbane area, Australia.
