American Greyhound’s rescue operation relies solely upon foster families to house our hounds in the interim between leaving the track and finding a forever home. Without our foster families, American Greyhound would not be able to make the difference that we do.
But, to continue to make this difference, we need your help. Could you find it in your heart to open your home to a foster hound? The more foster homes that we are able to locate, the more hounds we can adopt, and ultimately, the more hounds we can save!
Fostering is relatively easy and pain free. We supply the hound, a kennel, all the vet care costs, and advice to get you through the process. You supply a couple of meals each day, a roof over their heads, and generous amount of love and affection.
Fostering is a wonderful way to make a retired greyhound’s life a little better, and it’ll make your life a little better, too!

American Greyhound/Great Lakes, Inc. is a 501c3 not-for-profit corporation, dedicated to finding homes for retired racing greyhounds. Our volunteers rescue racers when they are no longer of value at the racetrack, provide the necessary vet care, teach them what it means to live in a home as a companion animal, and find them good homes where they are able to live out their lives.
However, helping these hounds is a costly proposition. Veterinary care is our largest single cost and with the ever deteriorating health condition of racers fresh off the track, that cost continues to increase. Your financial support is what allows us to continue our mission. American Greyhound is staffed entirely by volunteers, so every dollar goes directly to help the hounds.
