Greyhound Safety Net's Winter Warmer - July 29th

We rescue greyhounds and help ​find them a forever home

Foster Carers URGENTLY NEEDED  Help us save the “All Blacks”!

Actually it is 5 black greyhounds and one brindle, mostly around 3 to 4 years of age who have all been small-dog tested by Julie. Due to a Trainer's licence suspension by GRV these 6 dogs (a mix of males and females) will all be put down unless we can find enough foster-carers to take them into their homes. Julie is already committed to taking in other greyhounds over the next month – so we just don’t have the foster-carers to take on these extra seven greyhounds.
Please help us find foster-carers so that we can save these dogs - talk to any of your friends or colleagues who might be prepared to take on fostering one of these greyhounds in the next few weeks.
Please note that we do not think any of these greyhounds are cat-friendly, so we are seeking foster homes without cats.

Grey of the Month

​​Gracie says: "I’m a playful girl and my favourite game is to carry my toys around the house. I find it such fun to play and wrestle toys with my foster-dog mate, and then we both collapse on the couch for a big snooze. I’m a very gentle and affectionate gal, so I’m always seeking cuddles from my foster mum.

My mum says I’m such a wonderful girl that I would suit most homes, but if it’s a family I would be better with older children. Can you give me lots of cuddles?"

​For more details about Gracie and our other wonderful greyhounds that are looking for their adoptive 'forever' homes, please go to our Greyhounds for Adoption page.
​
​GSN greyhounds live in foster homes up until the time you adopt them - as this provides you with a well socialised pet.

Foster or Sponsor a Greyhound

GSN are always in need of more Foster-carers as requests to rescue greyhounds are much greater than the available foster-homes  in our program. Our foster-carers are a vital link in the rescue chain, as GSN dogs are kept in foster-homes until adopted. Every greyhound taken into foster care is a dog saved, and every greyhound adopted makes room to save another. More details

Consider Sponsoring a Greyhound for $50
Not everyone can adopt or foster a greyhound, but in this way you can directly help one of our greyhounds find their new home. More details

Hannah's fundraising project

Hannah is a little girl with a very big heart, who loves dogs. She found out all about greyhounds from one of her many dog books, and decided, with the help of her friends, to raise some money to help with the rehoming of greyhounds.

Hannah, Mila, Louie, Kyah and Lenny decided to make a sign and put it out the front of her house to raise some money. Impressed with their enthusiasm, neighbours and passersby started donating.  Fueled by their success, the next weekend the group of children set up a home-made lemonade stand, which managed to attract both pedestrians and car drivers passing. In total, they managed to raise $230.45, a wonderful effort.

Hannah came along to a recent greyhound promotion to present her very heavy jar full of money.  Below are photos of the two fundraising efforts, and Hannah surrounded by a gaggle of greyhounds.  Well done Hannah, and many thanks from the greyhounds your generous donation will help find a forever home.
