Spirit of Christmas | Greyhounds Foster Care 2-Day Event

Why not open your heart and home this Christmas and take a beautiful greyhound home for the holidays and truly give back?

For the first time, GAP NSW will hold a 2-Day Foster care event!  On Friday Dec 9th and Saturday Dec 10th between 9 - 3 pm, there will be 30+ beautiful greyhounds waiting to meet you at
GAP NSW's beautiful NEW Londonderry Adoption Centre.

Become a greyhound Foster Mum or Dad and your kindness this Christmas could help our hounds find homes faster.

We are asking you to give a greyhound the biggest gift of all, valuable 'Pet Preparation'! This is a great way to experience having a greyhound without adopting or committing to full-time pet ownership.

In the process, you'll be doing something special – helping to prepare a greyhound for its fur-ever home — giving that dog an exceptional Christmas gift that will change its life forever.

It's not that tricky! As a foster parent, you will introduce your greyhound to domestic life –living inside and out, meeting new people and pets, tackling weird and wonderful experiences like stairs and slippery surfaces, noise from the television, the kitchen… just everyday life.

Come to Gap Western Sydney to our "Spirit of Christmas, Foster Care Event" and learn more about what it means to become a foster mum or dad!  GAP will hold 'greyhound foster care' educational seminars on both days.

To learn more and meet the team without committing to fostering or adopting, please join us at 382 The Driftway, Londonderry, on Dec Friday 9th or Saturday, the 10th, between 9 - 3 pm. The date choice is yours!

Greyhounds As Pets foster carers are provided with everything they need to get started:
  • Collar
  • Lead
  • Dry food
  • Bowls (if needed)
  • Bedding (if needed)
Choosing to foster a dog is a very rewarding experience for both the greyhound and its carers. Over this period you will play a critical role in helping one of our foster dogs to begin to adapt to life as a pet. Your greyhound may initially seem a shy and reserved character. As you become more familiar to each other and they start to become accustomed to your home their personality will shine through. It is amazing to be part of this experience.

And remember, the GAP team will only be a call away throughout your fostering journey! If you are ready to foster now, contact us at gapws@grnsw.com.au or call 1800696377.

Register below for this event. Or just register if you happen to find a greyhound on our website that you are interested in fostering!

Please note if you happen to fall in love with a dog on the day you visit us — adopting a greyhound will also be an option at our special Christmas December rate of $100 (normally $250.00). Please let our GAP team members know on the day!



Greyhound Adoption Days

The best chance to get to know your new best friend. Our dog adoption days let you meet all types of greyhounds with unique personalities. We promise that you’ll fall in love with at least one special friend following a session of patting, cuddling and scratching at a pet adoption day. Learn everything that you need to know about the adoption journey and get a feel for which pet might be the best fit for your family.

We place greyhounds in homes based on their personality so everyone gets a perfect match. Feel free to ask away and our friendly team will answer all of your questions. A dog adoption day with Greyhounds As Pets is the first step towards bringing a four-legged friend into your life.

Pre-Assessment Days

We hold pre-assessment days that will determine whether your greyhounds are suitable for life as a pet and entry into the GAP program . To be eligible, we’ll ask for proof of C5 vaccinations and at least a 4 week let down period after their last race/trial. A general details form will also need to be completed and returned to us before confirming any future appointments.

Please contact our team for further information on booking a pre-assessing session.
