The Greyson Hound Foster Fund

03/27/2026

This is Karyn. These are my words & feelings about what is happening, and I ask that you please not make this post political. As many of you know, Kuwait is one of the countries the Greyson Foster Fund works with to help save dogs. Carla and I have had a relationship with Become A Foster Guardian (BFG) for years, even before we started GreyFosterFund.org. We’ve both adopted multiple dogs from Kuwait and deeply admire those involved with BFG for the incredibly difficult and dangerous work they do. Yesterday, when I learned of the drone attacks and bombings, my heart sank. The number of civilians and animals affected by this senseless violence is devastating, and I’ve been up since 3am with my head spinning. Today, we’ve been in touch with Annette, our friend and U.S. contact, who shared that there is currently only ONE worker left at the shelter caring for over 200 dogs and cats. They are trying to stockpile food and bread, and from what we’ve heard, they are truly living a nightmare. As I sit here looking at Lyla and Lemon peacefully sleeping, my heart breaks for those stuck there... both people and animals, with nowhere to go. Lyla came to us in 2020, and Lemon joined us in September 2025. Since then, we’ve fundraised to help three additional dogs get out, with plans to help more once they were healthier. And now this. As we sit in the safety and comfort of our homes, please take a moment to appreciate it. We don’t know what will happen next, but we are hoping to raise funds to help them continue stockpiling food for the animals and the remaining worker. If you’d like to help, please consider donating at GREYFOSTERFUND.ORG.

Update on our rescue partners in Kuwait:

The animals in Kuwait are scared and their caregivers are doing all they can to keep them safe and cared for. Many people have abandoned their pets and our friend, Leila Musaeva is out daily looking for and helping the ones who need protection.

To help support their efforts, please consider a donation...to them directly through their gofund me page below or to us. Please comment "Kuwait" in the memo.

Thank you for helping dogs and cats in need in Kuwait.

We have collaborated several times with Become A Foster Guardian (BFG), a rescue and shelter in Kuwait, to help save dogs. Carla and I both have multiple dogs adopted from BFG… most recently, Lemon. Because of the courage and persistence of BFG’s Director in protesting and publicly calling out the authoritarian leadership for failing to stop the horrific practices at the Friday Markets, rescue organizations are now being targeted by the monarchy.

The Kuwaiti government has begun forcibly shutting down animal shelters and destroying remaining animals using poison. They have launched drone searches to locate shelters. Another rescue, Nataly Street Princess, which housed over 200 animals, has already been evicted and is being threatened with the destruction of the animals. BFG’s shelter is currently under lockdown. The dogs are not allowed outside, and the organization urgently needs to evacuate both the animals and their caretakers to a location outside Kuwait. There is video footage, too graphic to share, documenting nearly 100 horses that were poisoned (the method of choice by the government), some mutilated out of cruelty, and left in the desert like garbage. Some dogs were miraculously found alive but emaciated, tied to poles, with no chance of survival.

BFG is doing everything possible to evacuate as many dogs as can safely travel on a flight scheduled for February 17. Until then, the dogs are being kept hidden. To comply with international regulations, each dog must obtain a health passport from a licensed Kuwaiti veterinarian, complete titer testing, receive required vaccinations, have CDC paperwork approved, secure quarantine facilities upon arrival, and travel in an airline-approved crate. These costs do not include the flight itself.

The cost to evacuate each dog ranges from $800–$1,400, depending on crate size. The Greyson Foster Fund has already agreed to sponsor two dogs, with U.S. foster families in place. A rescue in Philadelphia has also offered support if those dogs do not become foster-fails. Tragically, dogs that are not medically stable enough to travel may have to be humanely euthanized by BFG’s caretakers if no other option remains. If it comes to that, they will be given dignity, love, and compassion… things they have been denied their entire lives.

Because much of the required medical and travel documentation must be completed within three weeks of the February 17 flight, time is critical. Any amount helps! $5, $10, $50, $100, $500, $1,000, and will directly impact how many lives we can save. I can guarantee on our end that 100% of what is donated will be directly for these specific dogs.

Please consider helping us get as many dogs out as possible. With gratitude - Karyn & Carla
