Our mission
At Hounds in Homes, our mission is to rescue greyhounds from the racing industry and provide them with loving foster homes where they can rehabilitate and adjust to life as pets. Our small team of dedicated volunteers works tirelessly to ensure each greyhound is treated as family until they find their forever homes.

Adopter stories & experiences
“I wouldn't have had the confidence to take on Jai if it wasn't for you and Maryana. Your care and expertise gave him a shot at a normal life that most greyhounds in his state wouldn't have got, let alone an uninjured one.Your advice and leading by example helps me understand what it takes, and I can do my best to take care of him knowing every day he gets is one he without a doubt would not have had if it wasn't for Hounds in Homes."
