WHO WE ARE
Welcome to "Hounds in Homes" a rehoming and rescue of ex-racing greyhounds and some sighthounds. As volunteers at a previous rescue and re-homing many wonderful ex-racing greyhounds, it's now time for us to expand and create a breed-sp

ecific platform for potential foster carers, adopters and enthusiasts to connect. We have a wealth of knowledge when it comes to this special breed. Based in Sydney, we have a wonderful team of advisors, owners and dog trainers from around the globe. All of our greyhounds are ex-racing dogs who have been slowly introduced to life in the home. They have been rehabilitated, nurtured and most of all loved! We rely solely on donations to support our carers and seek specialised veterinary care for more complex medical issues not covered by GRNSW. We also like to provide our foster carers with support by providing Behaviour training, when needed. All donations are truly appreciated, making our jobs so much easier to bring more greyhounds into homes. You can donate either via GoFundme OR via direct deposit. Hounds in Homes

Could it be Dougie’s time?

Fingers crossed for this beautiful boy! We may have found a match for him. We are really crossing everything for this gorgeous boy!

We will keep you all posted 🩵

Following up on our previous post, we'd like to update you on Jai. He was one of the dogs we rescued who lost his back leg due to injuries sustained during his brief two weeks with a new trainer.

Just look at his beautiful, happy face now!

Sadly, greyhounds like Jai—those with injuries, behavioral issues, or difficulties with other dogs—are often left to struggle in the system. In the past, we were able to help rehabilitate and find homes for many Greyhound’s with trauma or injuries, But recent changes in an already broken system have made the rehoming crisis even more dire. While some may think the process is improving, we urge you to look deeper and question everything. The reality is much more complex.

Rehoming shouldn’t be easy, it should take time and people should be rejected for many reasons. We learnt this many years ago working for reputable none greyhound rescue groups.

Our greyhounds in our care are stuck because our applications have not been right for them.

Us saying no cats and in two cases no small dogs seems to be a deal breaker for most people who have applied.

Our hearts break for these greyhounds 💔

Hounds in Homes was founded many years ago after extensive experience in rescue. We created this breed-specific rescue to focus on greyhounds in need. Over the years, we've been fortunate to rehome around 250 greyhounds, (with minimum returns to our rescue group) making a positive impact on their lives.

However, recently things have changed, and while we may not fully understand the reasons behind it, we've experienced significant interference with our small rescue operation. Despite these challenges, we are determined to rebuild and regain the progress we once made. Along the way, we may also consider helping other breeds in need, just like Winter.

While some aspects are currently beyond our control, we have plans in place to move forward.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who has adopted from us. Greyhounds mean the world to us, and nothing brings us more joy than seeing a greyhound from any rescue find a loving home.

That said, we are heartbroken that our hounds have been affected by these recent difficulties. Thank you for your continued support as we work toward a brighter future for all dogs.

Marcus - age 4 years old
RON: R251000253

Meet Marcus, Thunder's brother, who is still waiting for his forever home. This gentle giant is such a beautiful boy, but sadly, his size has left him overlooked while the smaller greyhounds find their new families.

Marcus is truly deserving of a loving, happy home where he can thrive. He would do best with a greyhound-savvy owner who understands his needs and can offer him the care and attention he deserves.

Our hearts break for Marcus and Buster, two incredible boys who, in the past, would have been quickly snapped up. Please help us find Marcus the home he’s been patiently waiting for. He is ready to fill someone's life with love and joy.

Marcus is healthy, happy and fit, he will live a long and healthy happy life. We miss Thunder everyday 🩵

Dougie watching Winter with her “Sit/Down” and “On” practice.

A few distractions as she can get side tracked but Winter is doing so well. We adore this little (not so little) gal!

Having food motivated dog’s makes things so much easier.

Winters injury has fully healed. Laser treatment for wounds has been great, thanks to a friend letting us use theirs.

She does have a lump bless her, but she is healing well. Nothing stops this little angel!

The most important thing to understand about greyhounds—and all breeds—is that, like us, each dog has its own unique temperament, needs, and personality. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to them.

That’s why we take our time. It may be slow at times, especially now, but we wouldn’t want to do it any other way. Being a true dog lover means understanding and respecting these differences.

We have laid back noodles, funny noodles, ones who love all dogs, others who don’t. Ones who laze about inside and those who love their outdoor life, beaches, bush and social events.

Buster has one simple request: a home where he’s the only dog. While he gets along with other dogs, he simply prefers to be the sole pet in the household.

His current foster carers have returned to work and are no longer able to continue fostering him.

If you’re able to offer Buster a foster home or would like to apply to adopt him, please click the link below:

FOSTER CARERS UPDATE.

Mavis - age 4 years old.
RON: R251000253

Our sweet girl Mavis is struggling to adjust to apartment life. She’s been a little down lately, missing the garden where she once roamed freely. While her foster carers have been incredibly dedicated, it’s clear that Mavis needs more than what her current living situation can offer. It's been far too long, and she truly deserves a home where she can thrive.

Mavis is a super friendly girl with a heart of gold. She’s great with both dogs and kids, but unfortunately, she’s not good with cats. She will be perfect with another dog.

If you can offer Mavis the home and space she needs, please consider giving this gorgeous girl the loving forever home she deserves. Let’s help her find her perfect match!

Mavis requires eye drops for her Pannus.

Beautiful Pepper, had her flexor tenotomy surgery yesterday.

Typically minimal pain associated with this procedure, allowing her a quick return to her normal activities and hopefully no uncomfortable walks or boots.

Look at the little patient 🩵

13/11/2024

A huge thank you to everyone for your generous donations! Thanks to your support, Pepper is scheduled for her surgery tomorrow to treat her corn.

We’re also covering the cost of Winter's vet bill from SASH, along with her follow-up physio for a wrist injury. And, of course, Pepper’s (number 2) emergency vet bills and Penny’s ongoing medication expenses are all possible because of you.

Here are some heartwarming pictures of beautiful Pepper—she’s truly deserving of her forever home. Your continued support allows us to help more hounds in need.

We are incredibly grateful to our amazing followers—you make all of this possible!
