Volunteer
Volunteers are the very backbone of what we do at Greyhound Rescue, and we are always grateful for more help. Our kennel volunteers care for the hounds at Greysland, our facility in Sydney’s southern rural fringe.
In this role you will provide basic care to greyhounds and attend to their daily needs, including cleaning kennels and performing animal handling duties. You will be part of a fun, welcoming and dedicated team who share a commitment to helping and caring for greyhounds.
To volunteer you must:
- Have a love of greyhounds and a commitment to their welfare
- Complete online training and attend an induction shift
- Have your own transport; Greysland is not accessible by public transport
- Be available for a minimum of one, *4-hour shift per month and commit to the shifts you have agreed to, communicating any changes or cancellation in advance (where possible)
(* or 4 hours per month of administrative time for non kennel roles)
donate
Asking for help and financial assistance is always difficult. Greyhound Rescue relies largely on donations and fundraising to cover the high costs associated with rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming greyhounds.
We are very grateful for all donations as these help ensure we can continue saving these beautiful greyhounds.
All donations over $2 are tax deductible.
If you would like to make a monthly donation and sponsor a hound, please see our Help A Hound campaign.
LEAVE A BEQUEST
Making a bequest to Greyhound Rescue in your Will is an opportunity to leave your legacy and make a real difference to hounds in need. Greyhound Rescue has partnered with Safewill, Australia’s leading online Will writing platform, to make writing a Will quick and easy. If you or someone you love is preparing a Will, you can write your bespoke Will with Safewill for a discounted price.

Help a Hound Program
Can’t foster or adopt but want to help? Become a Help A Hound supporter and make a monthly contribution to sponsor one of Greyhound Rescue’s ‘Kennel Kids’. Your sponsorship will help cover the costs of food, shelter, veterinary care, rehabilitation and rehoming, keeping a hound safe and well cared for.
The generosity of donors like you is what keeps Greyhound Rescue going, and your support means so much. As our way of saying thank you for your generous ongoing support, you will receive a thank you card with a photo of the hound you’re helping, recognition of your support on your hound’s website profile, and regular updates on their progress.
Greyhound Rescue is a registered charity and all donations over $2 are tax deductible.
Shop
Purchases made through Greyhound Rescue’s online store help support our rescue and rehoming costs. We sell an evolving range of greyhound-related items – from martingale collars to enrichment toys and GR-branded gear. It’s a great place to shop for your greyhound or hound-loving friend while knowing you’re helping us continue doing what we do.
