Giving Greyhounds a Second Chance
We are dedicated to rescuing and rehoming retired racing greyhounds in Sydney, NSW. Our goal is to provide these loving and gentle dogs with a second chance at a happy life in a loving home.
We don't chase numbers. We focus on getting it right for each greyhound.
Adopt a Greyhound
Every greyhound is different. We take the time to understand each hound's personality, needs and what type of home will allow them to thrive.

Become a Foster Carer
Foster carers give a greyhound the opportunity to experience life as a pet while we learn more about who they are and what sort of home will suit them.

It's about more than finding a home.
Our greyhounds are nurtured in foster homes before they are listed for adoption. This gives us time to understand their personalities, their individual needs and what they need from their forever family.
We work with greyhound veterinarians and other rescue organisations to ensure each greyhound receives the care, attention and support they deserve.
- Every greyhound is treated as an individual
- Greyhounds are nurtured in foster homes
- We take time to find suitable forever homes
- Adopters receive ongoing support
From rescue to forever
The journey doesn't end when a greyhound is adopted. We support both the hound and their new family through the transition into life together.
Home
A safe and comfortable foster home gives each greyhound somewhere to begin their next chapter.
Rehabilitate
We allow each greyhound time to settle, decompress and learn what life as a pet is all about.
Transition
Foster carers help each hound transition with patience, care, love and trust-based training.
Adopt
When ready, the greyhound is matched with a suitable forever family.
Support
We remain available to help families and their greyhounds through the transition and beyond.
Become a Foster Carer
Opening your home to a greyhound in need can make an enormous difference. Foster care gives us the opportunity to learn who a greyhound really is before we make the important decision about their forever home.
It's a short-term commitment with a very big impact.
Apply to foster →Gentle, loving companions
Greyhounds can make wonderful pets. They are affectionate, loyal and often surprisingly happy to spend much of their day relaxing at home.
Loyal
Greyhounds bond closely with their people and love being part of the family.
Gentle
Retired racers are often sweet-natured and affectionate, happiest with company and cuddles.
Relaxed
Many are surprisingly happy to spend much of the day relaxing at home.
Every adoption opens a space.
When a greyhound finds their forever home, we can open a space for another greyhound in need. There are many ways you can help Hounds in Homes continue this work.
"We absolutely love our Jerry, who just fit into our family like a dream. We were given a wonderful handover about his temperament and any little quirks before we adopted him."
"They work tirelessly and genuinely care, always acting in the hounds best interests. You know everything you need to know when you adopt from HIH."
"Your care and expertise gave him a shot at a normal life. Your advice and leading by example helps me understand what it takes."
