Meet Our Fosters
Our foster volunteers are at the heart of everything we do. Without their generosity and dedication, we couldn't bring greyhounds into our care and help them find their forever homes. They provide a safe, loving place for newly arrived greyhounds to settle in, discover the comforts of home, and let their personalities shine.
Meet some of the wonderful people who make it all possible, and hear their stories in their own words.
Meet Wendy
Wendy’s journey with greyhounds began with Quincy, a very special hound who stole her family's hearts and introduced them to a whole new community of greyhound lovers. As Wendy puts it, “Greyhound people are the best!!!” After losing Quincy to cancer, she found a meaningful way to honor his memory by opening her home to foster greyhounds. Eight years and 45 fosters later, Wendy shares heartwarming stories, lessons learned, and why she can't imagine life without these wonderful dogs. And as she says of the greyhound community, “some might say cult, the only one I would want to join and willingly too!”
Meet Lisa
Lisa has been fostering for GPA for a year and a half. She’s had 13 fosters and counting. Lisa loves fostering because…
It’s been so easy to meet new people! Greyhounds are like celebrities - people always come up to pet and talk to the fosters or ask questions. They love them! Many people have greyhound stories of their own they love to share. And all the people I have met through GPA are so lovely too! And a surprise side perk, walking the dogs has been so good for me!
