About Greyhounds
Greyhounds make wonderful companions.
A greyhound can be a good match to almost any lifestyle, particularly since individual dogs can have very different personalities. In fact, when considering a greyhound, matching your personality and activity level to a dog's is very important to the long term success of the adoption. Since all our greyhounds live in foster care, we have a good idea about the dog's personality. Our application process is designed to tell us what we need to know about you, and as a result, we are able to make excellent matches between applicants and dogs.
To learn more about the specifics of our adoption process, please read our Adoption FAQ.
Still unsure?
If you are still researching greyhounds and trying to decide if they are the right breed for you, please consider picking up one of the following books. There is a lot of information on the internet, some very good, and some not quite true. To start, these books are a safer bet, and are quite comprehensive.
