No, you must contact an adoption service. We don't place greyhounds ... The Greyhound Project exists to help support adoption groups and to help promote adoption of these beautiful dogs.

You can find the nearest adoption group in our World-wide Directory. Nothing close to you? Try a national group.

Donate Money: Your tax-deductible donations are greatly appreciated and will be put to good use!

Donate Time: Have some special skills we could use? We can always use people with writing skills, marketing, etc. Just drop us a note and we'll try to find a way for you to help us or to match your skills with a local groups' needs.

Buy Stuff: Use our links to make purchases from amazon.com and we'll get a commission.

A greyhound's right ear tattoo represents the month, year and tattoo order of your dogs litter. The last number before the letter is his year of birth, the first one or two numbers is his month of birth. The letter represents the order in which the litter was tattooed (it does not mean the order of birth).

For example: 109E means the dog was born in October 1999 and was the fifth dog in the litter to be tattooed.

The left ear contains a tattoo representing his actual National Greyhound Association litter registration number.

Can't read the tattoo? Try shining a flashlight through the ear so it is illuminated from behind.
