Bridging the Gap - Greyhound Rehoming SA is a private community group who are dedicated to assisting retired racing greyhounds with training and preparation required for the next stage of their life : Adoption with their new family.
Bridging the Gap between racing and retirement allows the greyhound to slowly adjust to the daily routine of home life. As we all know, Greyhounds are fantastic pets, however most do not understand the home life routine that most of us and our other dogs take for granted. Some greyhounds have never met their reflection in a mirror and may bark at it or may not have experienced stairs or a vacuum cleaner or those daily household appliances that we use regularly. Some have only ever met other greyhounds and need to be taught how to socialise with other dogs, both big and small. There are some greyhounds who have already been down those roads and just need a place to hang out until the right home is found.
No matter what the need, BTG is there to help greyhounds. Whether it be foster placement and adoption or some extra help with pre-training before entering another organisation. The volunteers at BTG also offer Pre-assessments to help the owner/trainer to deterimine what type of home it will be suitable for. We are there for the Greyhound, and aim to do our very best to help with rehoming, whatever type of journey that may be.
Our dedicated volunteers have been active in the greyhound industry both in racing and rehoming for over 15 years. They understand greyhound behaviour and training and also know that greyhounds are unlike any other breed, which requires a more specialised touch when it comes to training and rehoming.
