How We Rehome Greyhounds: A Step-by-Step Process
The rehoming process for greyhounds at Hounds in Homes is comprehensive and structured to ensure the best outcome for each dog:
1. Application Review
We begin with a detailed Adoption Application Form or Foster Carer Application Form, where we collect important information about your lifestyle and home environment. This ensures we match you with the perfect greyhound that meets your family’s needs.
2. Greyhound Evaluation
Each greyhound in our care is evaluated based on their temperament, medical history, and special requirements. This assessment allows us to match the right greyhound with the right family, ensuring a lasting bond.
3. Meet & Greets
Once your application is approved, we arrange a meet and greet to ensure your living environment is suitable for a greyhound. Additionally, you’ll have the opportunity to meet the greyhound before finalising the adoption or fostering agreement.
4. Adoption/Foster Agreement
When you’ve been matched with a greyhound, we finalise the adoption or fostering process by signing an agreement that outlines the responsibilities of both parties. This includes details about the greyhound’s care, medical needs, and behavior management.
5. Ongoing Support
Even after your greyhound settles into their new home, we continue to offer support and advice. Our team is always available to help with any issues or questions that may arise, ensuring a positive experience for both you and your greyhound.
