We are a small private group of greyhound lovers in the Melbourne area passionate about rescuing and re-homing unwanted greyhounds.
Greyhounds are very gentle dogs but unfortunately they are exploited and mistreated by the racing industry which only has use for them while they run profitably. After that, most of them are destroyed by the age of 5 although greyhounds live 12- 14 years and are generally very healthy.
Some people ask “What’s wrong with that?” but we clearly see how wrong this behavior is and we wish our tax money would not go towards racing industry subsidies. We rescue as many greyhounds as possible and make sure our pets do not see vets which are known to profit from the racing industry. Kay’s Greys also raises awareness and educates those who wish to find out more about how to support the organizations like ours.
If you think you would like to get involved please contact us for a chat. Helping hands are always welcome and there is a variety of task which need doing on a daily basis. Whether you are good at fundraising or have some time to help us look after the dogs please get in touch.
Unfortunately, there are thousands of greyhounds looking for a second chance after being discarded by the racing industry and we cannot save them all. But for the ones we can save, we find loving and permanent homes. It is our goal to find a loving home for all the greyhounds in our care and we only re-home our dogs to responsible people who meet certain requirements. No greyhound in our care is kept in kennels. They are all looked after by foster carers. That way the greyhound is used to family living and in many cases used to living with other dogs, cats and children. 
By fostering a greyhound we are best able to test if a greyhound is cat and child friendly and asses his/her character thoroughly to find a suitable permanent home. It is very important to match a dog to the right environment so that both the dog and the new owners are happy.
Every dog is different and we will match a greyhound with its new home based on character compatibility and not size, colour or prettiness. Very often our greyhounds pick their new family by being extra cuddling and responsive around them. It is really beautiful to see how a strong bond can be formed on a first meeting between a dog and the new family.
Kay’s Greys is also here to support the people who have taken in a greyhound. We never say goodbye for good and want to keep in touch with all the lovely people and dogs that cross our path.
Kay’s Greys has rehomed 23 greyhounds together with Greyhound Rescue so far and is very proud of this achievement! Hopefully there will be many more to come! Our motto is “GIVE ME A GREY ANYDAY”.
