Greyhounds are a special breed with a rich history. Known for their speed and grace, they were once bred for racing and hunting. Today, many greyhounds are retired racers who are looking for loving homes. Greyhounds are loyal, affectionate, and make wonderful companions for families, couples, and individuals alike.

Adopt

Are you ready to welcome a greyhound into your home? We have a wide variety of greyhounds available for adoption. Our adoption process is thorough, but we are committed to finding the perfect match for each dog and adopter. Visit our adoption page to learn more about the process and view our available greyhounds.

Donate

We rely on donations to keep our rescue organization running. Your donation can help cover the cost of medical care, food, and other expenses related to rescuing and rehoming greyhounds. We appreciate any support you can give, whether it's a one-time donation or a recurring gift. Visit our donation page to learn more.

Volunteer

Volunteers are the backbone of our organization. We need volunteers to help with everything from walking and feeding dogs, to transportation and event planning. Volunteering is a great way to get involved with our rescue community, meet new people, and make a difference in the lives of greyhounds.
