Volunteer
Volunteers are the very backbone of what we do at Greyhound Rescue, and we are always grateful for more help.
It takes a huge team effort to care for our hounds and keep things running day after day. From carrying out kennel shifts and transporting hounds to organising fundraisers and managing our administration, there is always something to be done.
Our kennel volunteers care for the hounds at our kennel facility in Sydney’s southern rural fringe. This includes cleaning and performing animal handling duties.
If you’re interested in volunteering, you will need to:
- Be relatively fit
- Be available for at least one shift per month
- Commit to the shifts you have agreed to, communicating any changes or cancellation in advance (where possible)
- Have a love of greyhounds and a commitment to their welfare.
We also welcome assistance with maintenance

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.

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, or you can leave a bequest to Greyhound Rescue in your will.
