Our family has recently adopted a greyhound and we just LOVE him! What a neat dog! Everyone should be so fortunate to have such a wonderful pet.

My husband and I adopted our 2 boys about 5 years ago. They have become like our children. Greyhounds are special dogs and we think Matt and Red are extra special.

We just adopted our first Greyhound, Oskosh Lee, about 1 month ago. What a sweetheart! He's 7 yrs. old, fawn colored and it was love at first sight! Let's just say he chose us! He has had some problems settling in with his new home. He was at a "foster home" for about a month with 8 other greyhounds. So coming into a home with two cats and less hectic he's still trying to figure out where he fits in. We spend hours with him, let's just say he's very easy to spoil. One look at those soulful brown eyes of his is enough to melt your heart. We were told when we met him that if you have a couch well forget about sitting on it anymore he will take over-boy is that the truth! He has taken quite a shine to me since his foster mom was with him all day long he's taken to women. So I have a 70 lb. velcro sidekick with me at all times-which is fine with me! Greyhound Guardians are one fantastic group and I would recommend to anyone to adopt a greyhound not only because of their sweet dispostion but just to save them from the atrocities that the retired hounds are put through-no animal deserves to be treated like that! Again-SAVE THE GREYHOUND! Thank you!

I formerly owned a greyhound who was the absolute love of my and my childrens life. It's just been a year, and we miss his sweet face. My daughter has given new meaning to the words "dog tags" by wearing Billy's on her chain! Anyone considering adopting should. We will again and soon. Just looking for the right hound to go with our crazy german shepard.

I love your site and browse it often. One of these days I WILL own a greyhound. I own a very happy and loveable pointer. Unfortunately he does not enjoy the company of other dogs. Maybe he just hasn't met a dog he likes! I have spoken with a rescue league and they assure me that he has the potential to like a greyhound, possibly a female. For now I will just keep browsing and hopefully decide completely about adopting a greyhound. Maybe a trial meeting with a greyhound could turn out promising for my pointer. Until then, I will enjoy browsing your site. Keep up the good work!

My wife and I have adopted all of our dogs from the Animal Rescue League. We currently have two dogs living with us, a black lab and a "lurcher", which is a cross-breed between a greyhound and "?". They are bred in England primarily for racing and hunting. There is a National Lurcher and Racing Club (NLRC) in England. Are you aware of any such organization in the U.S.? We support your efforts as much as we can. Keep up the great work!

You have created a truly wonderful site that brings many of sighthounds wonderful attributes to the fore front. I owned a Saluki that was a sweet and most loving companion. I have a question with reagrds to longer running. I am a Marathon runner and I will be looking for a running companion in the future. In this regard the Saluki is geared towards higher endurance than the Greyhound. How would a Greyhound handle running 11 plus miles per day. Are they suited to this task or just to short high speed blasts?

Nice web site. I'm seriously thinking of adopting a hound. One question though. Are some of the dogs (one color or another) better for those of us with allergies? I've heard some conflicting views on the subject from several owners at some recent events.

Greyhounds are wonderful companions!! I have been involved with Ohio Friends of Greyhounds Rescue and Adoption for the past couple years. I have 3 to date, Rodeo, Lollipop, and Kallie. They are wonderful and get along well with my original muttster. Anyone interested in adopting should go for it, you won't regret it!!

Hi I am in college right now and so it would be tough to have a dog though once I can I plan to get a Greyhound right away. I just find them beautiful in every way. I do have a family dog and two cats but it is just recently that I got interested in the Greyhound and now I can't seem to get enough of them. This is a great site ... keep up the good work!!! :-)

Great Site, I am a helper at the greyhound adoption program her in Brisbane (Australia). Our program is quite new and is having its troubles getting off the ground. Your site has given me some good ideas that may help things move a lot faster. Whilst greyhounds adoptive parents are a new concept here, its encouraging to see that they have done so well in your country.

Hi! I have a 7-year-old black w/ white greyhound that we rescued a few years ago. He has been the best dog that anyone can ask for. For those who are thinking about adopting a greyhound, all I have to say is DO IT!! You won't regret it. They are loyal, sweet, and loving. I just wish more people would stop thinking of greyhounds as money-makers and think of them as they were meant to be: as companions. Great web site. Thanx for helping them.

We adopted 2 retirees on November 11, 1995. Since that time we have helped a few other Albertans (directly north of Idaho, but in Canada) adopt some of these beautiful creatures through the Greyhound Pets Inc. in Idaho. Our babes are "Willie", a 7 year old male and "Lacie", a five year old female. They live with a 9 year old cat, who who thinks she is a dog. There is no-where in Alberta to purchase anything "greyhound related", jewellery, coats, etc. Any information would be appreciated. Other than that, I really liked you site and as a hound owner its good to know that you're not the only crazy one.

We recently adopted a 2 year old female, Mattie, who gets on well with our 7 year old Whippet, Angel. There was some initial tension with out cats, but things have smoothed out. Mattie is as sweet and loving a dog as you could ever want. Adoption is a great idea for single guys. They are chick magnets!! Keep up the good work.

Hollydogs, which is located in Hollywood, Florida is where I adopted my greyhound, Dominga. She is a shy little girl who is coming out of her shell. Hollydogs is a wonderful organization and a pleasure to work with. I have 3 other dogs (hunting-bird dogs) that she gets along with just beautifully. Greyhounds are so elegant!

We have been previous owners of a Rotteweiler and of course we have our faithfull adopt-a-pet Maggie dog. We recently discovered how beautiful Greyhounds were when we visited our Greyhound Race Track. Several dogs were being shown for adoption during our visit. So I'm learning everything I can on the internet and through books about this beautiful breed. We are thinking about adopting a retired racer. One question that I haven't had answered is how much does it cost to adopt a Greyhound? Thank you for the great webpage information. Margaret and Tom in Houston

We love your website! We adopted Brandy, our red fawn retired racer, from National Greyhound Adoption Program (NGAP)in Philadelphia in 1996. She was just over 3 years at that time. Originally shy, she is now quite the princess, and loves being doted on by fellow pets, and humans alike. She rules her domain, which consists of one other dog,(a Dalmation) and 3 cats. She is a sheer joy!

I just took the tour of your website again for the first time since adopting our first grey a year and a half ago. It reminded me so much of our two beautiful greys. Thanks for the information we needed then and the input to help us want to adopt these beautiful dogs. We have two now. For all of those still deciding, what's stopping you? On a side note, I do agree with the question about why so many greys in the calendar are leashless and coatless. I would be interested in seeing an answer posted.

Brandy (4 yr old female brindle)came to live with us almost a year ago. We adopted her from the Retired Greyhound Trust in Oxford, England. Since then, I have written in the guestbook several times to express, as all of us seem to do, my love for this breed and what wonderful creatures they are. And don't think about adopting, just do it!!! You won't regret it! I could stand to have at least two more!!! Now, I finally have a question. She can't stand for me to trim her nails. Does anyone have any good ideas on how to keep her nails down without using a dog nail clipper? Walks just don't seem to do. Please let me know your ideas! And if anyone in the UK gets together for a greyhound party, please let us know. Thanks!!!

She may think that she's lucky in a new home with soft places to sleep, good food, and LOTS of love; but we are the lucky ones. She has already brought joy to our lives. Our two cats are even learning to love her. Your web site is greyt! It provided so much helpful information with our pre-adoption research. Thank you!

Hi! Found your fascinating and informative website after seeing a wonderful TV program last night on the Animal Planet channel about adopting greyhounds as pets. A friend of mine just adopted one and I wanted to find out more about how, where, etc.. Your website gave me loads of info., as I am considering adoption (yes, I have a fenced yard!) and found several agencies in Kentucky listed on your "agencies" page. Thanks for your efforts to protect and save these beautiful, graceful, affectionate dogs.

.Hell-o Bruce, I love your Celebrating Greyhounds calender. I buy 2 or 3 every year at our NGAP picnic. I don't understand though why so many of the dogs are not on leashs. I've heard and read too many horror stories of greyhounds running off because the owner thought their dog was trained not to. Mine have gotten away from me a time or two and it scared the holy begebers out of me. Another thing I don't understand is why some of the greyhounds are frolicking in the snow without coats on. My dogs wear coats if the temperature or wind chill is below 40. I love your web page. Keep up the good work.

Of all the sites for grayhounds, yours is the best. I had a computer crash earlier this year and just rediscovered you today. I totaly enjoy reading all the comments from grayhound owners. We are all in love with the breed. What is neat is when you can get your dog out with other grayhounds and the way they react to their own breed. It is super. Gomer is now three, he has been an over grown puppy for the last year and is now setteling down. He has one problem and that is at night when we are ready for bed, twice this week, he has growled and snapped at my husband when he sets on the bed. Gomer has had full run of the house for a year and never has responded to us in this way. What should we do?

We are foster parents for the El Paso, Texas branch of the Greyhound Adoption League in Tucson, Arizona. We place over 800 dogs per year. My wife and I have a Heinz 57, a female Doberman, and our male Greyhound, Art. Art was our first foster dog and we failed at fostering, so we had to keep him! We have since been successful at only fostering. It is hard to give them up- we fall in love with them all! Good luck and best wishes to all the Greys and fans of Greys. (915) 584-6163

I have a 4year old female Doberman. She was depressed after my husband and I had to put down our 12 year old Great Dane. I had seen a program about greyhounds and decided to rescue one. I now have a 22 month old male named Witty. He is the sweetest thing. I was told that exracers take time to warm up to their new families, but Witty didn't follow this rule. I love coming home and having him great me at the dog with his tail wagging and him following me around the house. The only thing is the Doberman is no longer the fastest one in the yard.

I own a retired greyhound and I am considering adopting a second one. They definitely are great pets and would recommend them to anyone wanting a beautiful love in their lives.

How much does it cost to adopt a Greyhound?

Wonderful site, very informative. I've known for years that my first dog would be a greyhound. So, when I finish with school, I'll be adopting! Thanks for the list of agencies!

I received Emma (2-yr. old fawn brindle) in May 1998 from Greyhound Friends of North Carolina. She is such a joy! She loves everyone. I think Greyhounds will be the only dog for me from now on. I learned of Greyhound Friends of NC from your web site. Thanks.

We are glad to see such efforts to save greyhounds. We live in Colorado near CSU Vet. teaching hospital where they do a large part of their studying on Greyhounds. We have a white/black 4 year companion named Sam. She raced under OREO COOKIE until she was just over 2. We are glad to have her in our lives. Thank you for your efforts!
