An advocacy group in Perth, Western Australia, Free the Hounds will talk to people who foster or who have an adopted greyhound. Vets working with this special breed and things you may like to watch out for. Rescue groups and volunteers from around the country will let us know what is happening within their state. Ministers and former racing participants to hopefully open up dialogue and share the public’s views on dog racing in our state.
In this one year anniversary episode of 'Talking Couch Potatoes', Matt and Mel sit with Sophie, a dedicated volunteer from Greyhound Adoptions WA (GAWA). Sophie shares her experiences of fostering and rehoming greyhounds, highlighting the alarming increased demand for foster homes in Western Australia.
She explains how GAWA supports foster carers with resources, guidance and the added bonus of a friendly new community and network of greyhound advocates.
Build a deeper understanding of the significant impact you could make through fostering these beautiful creatures, and join our commitment to address the root causes of the rehoming crisis which is only getting worse.
