About Ludo (Fostering)
Fostering saves a life! Foster caring is feel-good and free. Our foster carers are the backbone and success that is Greyt Greys Rescue. A Foster carer plays a vital role in supporting a greyhound’s rehabilitation and enables a smooth transition into their new lives as pets.
Some greyhound’s walk into a home for the first time as though they’ve always been there – others will require gentleness, patience, training and love.
The duration of foster care really depends, it can be as little as 3 weeks, to as long as 3 or 4 months. Some greyhounds are well adjusted, others might be recovering from racing injuries, or be special needs and take longer to adjust.
A foster greyhound will stay in your care until they're adopted. We run on a dedicated foster network, and rely on big hearts and homes in order to rescue greyhounds and bring them into our program.
Our greyhounds are straight from the track/kennel/trainer, some are from the pound, some are surrenders having already lived in a home previously. Often, though they have never experienced home life, this includes stairs, sliding doors, and appliances — it's a whole new world and you've signed up to be their cheery tour guide!
We cover any vet bills for your foster dog, ongoing food, accessories: leash, collar, coat, as well as flea/worming tablets, and ongoing support. As a foster carer you're also covered under our public liability insurance.
We just ask that you provide a daily on-leash walk, teach your foster dog the basics of home life, supply your own poop bags for neighbourhood deposits, and dish out all the behind-the-ear-scritches and lots of love. We also require weekly check-ins, in regards to diet/weight, behaviour and any issues you might encounter — support is always available.
Ludo is a sweet potato looking for folks who can help him learn the basics: e.g. toilet training, walking on a lead, basic commands (stay, come, off/up, on your bed/mat) — all very common learning needs for a greyhound who is learning to be a treasured pet.
