Foster Requirements

Fostering a Greyhound is a commitment. To ensure safety and health of the Greyhound the following foster requirements must be complied with explicitly. Please do not consider fostering if you will not be able to meet this commitment or adhere to these requirements.

1. It is vital to keep your Greyhound on a leash whenever it is outdoors, unless it is in a completely fenced-in area. NEVER trust it not to run.
