Could you foster a greyhound?

We are looking for people to help us to help greyhounds by offering a foster home for a greyhound as a 'half-way-home' until we can find a permanent home for the dog.  We are based in  Co Kerry in Ireland and in Norfolk in the UK and we particularly need foster homes in these areas but we would be very pleased to have enquiries from other areas.   Please click on our  Questions and Answers about Fostering for more information.  If you would like to apply to foster please click on our Fostering application form (UK). or our Fostering application form (Ireland).  For more information or just a chat please contact Jill on 075000 626 48 or email jill@kerrygreyhounds.co.uk

Fostering is a really valuable and 'hands on' way to be involved in greyhound rescue work.  Please get in touch if you'd like to help. If you would like to download a printable version of the KGC fostering poster, please click here for the UK version and here for the Irish version.
