Success Stories

The correct pairing was crucial for parents Stacey and Tim when they began the process of adopting a Kennel Kid. Colin ticked all their boxes.

Mel was working as an ICU nurse on the frontline of the COVID pandemic when Hershey leapt into her life. It was the perfect match for them both.

Having exhibited anxiety as a ‘Kennel Kid’ at our Rescue Centre, Greysland, Strudel was lucky enough to spend time in a couple of foster homes before being adopted by Emma, Ben and fellow Greyhound Rescue alumnus Stretch.

In her new life with Liz and Simon, Béchamel has really landed on her feet – or, alternatively, in roach position, depending on her mood.

When applying to adopt a greyhound, Tonya’s one request was that she’d like a dog happy to walk with her each day. “I certainly got that!” she says. Gracie, who she adopted at eight months old, is in her element on a bushwalk and happily continues for an hour or more at a time, earning her the nickname ‘endurance hound’.

“We 110% would recommend adopting a greyhound as it’s made such an impact on our lives in ways we hadn’t imagined, let alone how much we’ve been able to provide Panza a better life. Thank you, Greyhound Rescue, for bringing Panza into our lives!”
