Hoomans Helping Hounds

Who Are the Hoomans?

We’re a group of hoomans from Wesley Vale who came together because we believed greyhounds deserved a voice.

What started as a grassroots campaign to stop a proposed greyhound racing track became part of a much bigger story. Alongside many others across Tasmania, we helped achieve a historic outcome for a community that stood together and pushed a vote for change.

But something unexpected happened along the way.

We found each other.

We discovered that when people come together around something they care about, something special happens. People connect. Ideas grow. Confidence returns. New friendships begin.

That is where Hoomans Helping Hounds began.

Not just as a place for dogs.

As a Place where people can walk through the door, feel welcome and know they matter.

You might come for the dogs.
You might come for the clothes.
You might come to volunteer, learn, create, share, help out or simply have a chat.

Whatever brings you here, we hope you find a reason to come back.

We are a wonderfully mixed bunch.

Different ages.
Different backgrounds.
Different experiences.

But we have one thing in common:

We love dogs, we care about people, and we believe life is better when you have good people, good dogs and somewhere you feel welcome.

Some people come for the dogs.

Most stay because they’ve found their people.
