Permanent Fosters
Hounds in our permanent foster program are older or have special needs. These hounds will spend the rest of their lives in a foster home with GPA Houston covering the cost of their care. If you want to help our permanent fosters, please donate to our Greyt Wellness Fund. Thank you for your support of these special hounds.
Emma, F, 5.5 YO
Emma (TMC's Ebonyanice) is a very young dog who suffers from a severe congenital heart condition. Emma is on daily medication to control her condition, and she is currently asymptomatic. But we are monitoring her closely. She is enjoying life in her permanent foster home. All expenses in caring for one of our permanent fosters are covered by our Greyt Wellness Fund. Lots of hugs and kisses come from the permanent foster parent! If you would like to donate toward Emma's medical care, please donate to our Greyt Wellness Fund.
Trifecta, M, 5 YO
Trifecta (CBJ Trifecta - aka Tonopah) is an adventurous and playful fellow. Unfortunately, he may have suffered a head injury during his racing days and exhibits a disconnect between his brain and body. But he loves to please, and he does it well! His foster mom and dad are experts at caring for special needs pups, so Trifecta could not be in a better home. If you would like to donate toward Trifecta's medical care, please donate to our Greyt Wellness Fund.
Tucker, M, 7.5 YO
Tucker (TK Tucker) suffers from a severe heart condition. We are controlling it the best we can with medicines and a gentle and patient foster mom. Tucker just wants to be loved though sometimes his anxiety prevents him from enjoying everything. Slowly, Tucker has learned to enjoy his soft bed, quiet home, and loving mom. If you would like to donate toward Tucker's medical care, please donate to our Greyt Wellness Fund.
Elias (Kells Kentucky), M, 11.5 yo
Elias was taken to a vet for euthanization as they were moving and could not take him. The vet contacted GPAH and he was surrendered. Elias is a difficult grumpy old man. He has landed in a foster home where his foster Dad understands him and discovered his medical needs that he has been treated for. Elias still has resource guarding issues. His permanent foster home places strict boundaries and limitations on his behavior so Elias is learning some manners. Elias will need this strict environment for the rest of his life. If you would like to donate toward Elias' care, please donate to our Greyt Wellness Fund.
Fiona, F 13.5yo
Fiona found her way to GPAH through a wonderful veterinary office that took her in. Fiona has spent a long and hard 6 months on the streets and is very underweight and numerous sores all over her body. She will need lots of groceries, several medications to heal her body and is being evaluated for potential heart issues. She is sweet, gentle and hope shines bright in her eyes. Fiona is a schmoozer and won over the hearts of every vet and technician at the clinic in the several days she was there. Her foster family have already fallen for Fiona's charms. She does have other issues that need to be looked into so will need plenty of upcoming vet care. Anyone around greyhounds for any length of time knows the "Secret of the Seniors". If you know the secret, would you like to donate towards Fiona's medical care? You can do so through the Greyt Wellness Fund.
