Our kennels are bursting at the seams!
Our Christmas Foster campaign was so successful, we thought Easter might be another good time to ask you to open your homes to one of our lovely greyhounds so they can spend Easter in a home instead of our kennels.
The Easter holiday is a time for relaxation and fun, spent with family and friends. Our mission is to place as many of our greyhounds into homes for the holiday season to be a part of a family. Can you help?
We’re looking for all types of homes; full time workers, part time workers, families, medium/large dogs, or no other dogs. Unfortunately, we will not have greyhounds who are suitable to be living with cats, small dogs or in apartments.
We have our regular Melbourne foster runs happening every Wednesday and Saturday in April, with the last pick-up day being Wednesday 5th April from Sandown or Easter Saturday 8th April from Tullamarine.
Returns will need to be organised for the first week after Easter from the 15th April with the last return date being 22nd April.
Specific pick-up options are:
• Saturday 1st April, Sandown Greyhound Club, View Road Car Park, Springvale from 10:30am-11.00am
• Saturday 1st April, GAP Tullamarine, 444 Melrose Drive, Tullamarine from 1pm-1.30pm
• Wednesday 5th April, Sandown Greyhound Club, View Road Car Park, Springvale from 11.15am -11.45am
• Wednesday 5th April, GAP Tullamarine, 444 Melrose Drive, Tullamarine from 1pm-1.30pm
• Saturday 8th April, GAP Tullamarine, 444 Melrose Drive, Tullamarine from 10am-3.30pm
Specific return options are:
• Saturday 15th April, Sandown Greyhound Club, View Road Car Park, Springvale from 10:30am -11.00am
• Saturday 15th April, GAP Tullamarine, 444 Melrose Drive, Tullamarine from 1pm-1.30pm
• Wednesday 19th April, Sandown Greyhound Club, View Road Car Park, Springvale from 11.15am -11.45am
• Wednesday 19th April, GAP Tullamarine, 444 Melrose Drive, Tullamarine from 1pm-1.30pm
• Saturday 22nd April, Sandown Greyhound Club, View Road Car Park, Springvale from 10:30am -11.00am
• Saturday 22nd April, GAP Tullamarine, 444 Melrose Drive, Tullamarine from 1pm-1.30pm
• GAP Seymour, 298 Goulburn Valley Highway Seymour or Tullamarine by appointment Monday to Saturday 9am-3.45pm (if you choose this option, please let us know in the email your preferred date and time).
If you would like to help us out on our mission, please get in contact Christine at fostercare@grv.org.au and we’ll send you an Easter Foster Care Agreement to sign which contains a few questions to help us match you with the perfect Easter Egg-noodle dog.
All dogs going out to non-foster care volunteers and public will have passed their GAP assessments and will be ready for adoption.
How many fosters can we get into homes over Easter?
Let’s do this, friends!

Jess
She gives off “Elle Wood” – Legally Blonde vibes and she is totally okay with it! This fun, flirty, sweet girl is beauty and brains rolled into one and we know she is going to make a great family addition. We think she may suit children 10 and over and may also suit living with her own Bruiser– just as long as they are a little robust and happy to play. Her race name suggests ‘Nobody’s Perfect’ but Jess would probably tell you otherwise!
Bobby
Bobby is a lovely young man, just look at his beautiful light-coloured eyes, they seem to stare into your soul. Bobby is a social, friendly and affectionate boy who is keen to move into his furever home. He may suit living with or without a canine pal of similar size and children aged 10years and older.
