The Greyhound Adoption Program is always looking for Foster Carers.
"NO SPECIAL QUALIFICATIONS NEEDED."
Just a little love, a lot of patience and a fenced yard. Fostering means taking a greyhound for a period of about 4-6 weeks. During thins time GAP will provide all the food and equipment needed for the greyhound.
Foster Carers help the greyhound adjust to life as a "pet." Assessment of the greyhound is an important part of helping GAP make sure that the right dog goes to the right home.
Foster Carers introduce their new greyhound to such things as vacuum cleaners, glass doors, stairs etc. Most greyhounds have never learned to play, as their lives have all been business. Giving them time to learn how to play is a vital part of adapting the greyhound to life as a pet.
