Foster Carer Application

The Greyhound Adoption Program Tasmania is a program operated by Tasracing on a not-for-profit basis, which places greyhounds no longer suitable for racing into pet homes. Before being adopted, the greyhounds are fostered for a period of time in order to help them to adjust to life in a domestic environment.

Greyhounds from GAP Tasmania have been temperament tested, vet checked and wormed before entering your home where they will be introduced to pet dog life for at least 3 weeks.

Please take the time to complete the Foster Carer Registration and our foster care liaison officer will contact you to discuss finding a greyhound for you to foster.

If you do not receive a response within 7 days, please check your spam or junk folders. To prevent the email from being sent through to your spam or junk folders please add gapadmin@tasracing.com.au and gaptas@tasracing.com.au to your address book.

Form should be filled out by people residing in Australia only.
