Adoption

Adoption Services: We specialize in matching retired racing greyhounds and other hounds with loving families, ensuring a smooth transition to their forever homes. Our dedicated team provides guidance throughout the adoption process.

At any given time in the kennel there are 30 beautiful greyhounds and other dogs ready and waiting to be adopted.
Adoption from Greyhounds Friends is a carefully structured process. We work hard to ensure that we place dogs in homes that are very well-matched and compatible. The safety and well being of the dogs is of the utmost importance to the organization and our staff, for the benefit of all concerned. There is an adoption fee of $300 with each adopted dog.

The first step in the adoption process is to visit the Greyhound Friends adoption kennel. When you visit the kennel we ask that you also please complete the pre-adoption form and bring it with you. The form asks questions about the adopter’s lifestyle – house or apartment, fenced/electric dog fence yard or not, work hours, children, other pets, etc. This information helps the staff show greyhounds to the adopters that may match their lifestyles.
Potential adopters will be introduced to some dogs. Walking them on a leash or taking them into the electric fenced field for a run are ways to get to know a particular dog.
If a match is made and the adoption proceeds, an adoption form will then be completed and references checked. After all necessary paperwork is completed, you’re able to take the dog home with you.

Cyber-Fostering

Cyber-Fostering is a great way to support the efforts of Greyhound Friends Inc. in helping a specific dog of your choice.

Let us pick a dog for you! Your support of $100 a month will change the life of a dog in need. The average cost of rehoming a dog is around $1800 per dog (this goes to re-home each dog, including transportation, spay/neuter surgery, medications, vaccinations, and other veterinary costs, and care while at our kennel. This is why we need your help.

We are looking for people to join our Cyber-Fostering program which pairs dogs needing financial support to achieve their goals for becoming adoptable pets. This can include medical care, spay/neutering costs or socialization training.

Each dog needing a Cyber-Foster will have their own facebook page which will be updated showing care provided. Often a Cyber-Foster dog will be adopted quickly once they have the support needed.
