                                                                                  Centuries of selective breeding have created a wonderful house pet! Greyhounds are calm, relaxed animals that will enjoy the atmosphere in your home. They need to be let out in a fenced yard or walked on a lead 3-4 times per day, and will generally quickly adapt to your household’s schedule. They do well in small houses or apartments and require only a soft place to sleep or rest. You will find your greyhound to be a loyal and devoted companion.

                                                                                  Before you adopt, it is important for you to become familiar with the breed and consider whether a greyhound is the right pet for you. We have compiled Frequently Asked Questions and Myths about greyhounds that will provide you with a wealth of answers to some of the most common inquiries and the truths behind common misconceptions about greyhounds. 

                                                                                  If you decide that a greyhound is right for you and your family, visit our adoption section to get started. If you have more specific questions about greyhounds or the adoption process, please contact us today or check the calendar and make plans to visit us at a Meet & Greet or other event. We are always excited to talk to you about adopting a greyhound. These wonderful dogs have stolen our hearts, and we would be happy to tell you why!
