Rehoming Irish Greyhounds in Ireland since 2019

Learn more

Every greyhound deserves the chance to be part of a loving home.

At RIGHT, we’re dedicated to making that happen. We carefully match each greyhound with the right family, helping them swap kennel life for cosy beds, soft sofas and the love they’ve always deserved – right here in Ireland.

REHOMING IRISH GREYHOUNDS SINCE 2019

Every hound starts on somebody's sofa

Rehoming Irish Greyhounds Team has no kennels, so a hound waits in a volunteer's home until the right family comes along.

Usually two to eight weeks. That volunteer could be you, and you would not be doing it on your own.

Fostering costs you nothing. RIGHT covers food, bedding and all veterinary care.

Greyhounds Ready
for Adoption

These greyhounds have lived with foster families and passed every test – house trained, keen on the couch, waltzing on walks and toast obsessed.

They’ve settled into home life and can’t wait to meet their forever humans. Is that you?

BEFORE YOU RULE YOURSELF OUT

The questions that stop people asking

Most people decide they cannot foster before they ever get in touch. Nearly always, it is one of these three.

Does fostering cost anything?

No, nothing at all. Food, bedding, veterinary care and medication are covered by RIGHT. You provide the sofa and the patience, and that's it.

How long would I have them?

Usually two to eight weeks. You are not signing up for life. You are giving one hound a soft landing while we find the family who will keep them. We currently have a waiting list of families waiting for hounds.

Do I need a garden?

No. Plenty of hounds do beautifully in apartments. A calm space and regular walks matter far more than a lawn, and if you do have a garden it needs to be properly enclosed.

So what actually happens next?


Fill in the questionnaire

A few questions about you, your home and your routine.

We ring you

Our homing coordinator talks it through and suggests hounds who would suit.

Home visit

A volunteer calls out or does an online call, checks the space is secure and helps you prepare.

Your hound arrives

We agree a date, settle them in and stay in touch throughout.

Happily ever after

They move on to their family. You foster again, or you keep them.

Fill in the foster questionnaire About five minutes. Nothing is decided until we have spoken to you.
