Open Your Heart: Adopt a Greyhound
Welcome to Greyt Angels, where we invite you to experience the profound joy of adopting a retired racing greyhound. These gentle, loving dogs are ready to leave their racing days behind and become cherished members of your family. When you open your home and heart, you gift these greyhounds a new retirement chapter of their lives brimming with affection and comfort. Your adoption not only transforms their world but also brings endless companionship and affection into yours.
If you’re ready to add a greyhound to your family, please fill out our application form. For more information on the adoption process, feel free to contact us.
Why Adopt a Greyhound?
Greyhounds are known for their affectionate and gentle nature, making them wonderful family pets. Their loyalty and calm demeanor make them great companions for people of all ages. Despite their athletic background, greyhounds are surprisingly low-maintenance, often enjoying lounging as much as running.
Adopting a retired racer gives these deserving dogs a chance to thrive in a loving home. It supports their transition from the racing track to a new, fulfilling life as a cherished family member. By adopting, you’re not only enriching your life with a devoted friend but also providing these graceful animals with the love and stability they need.
Adoption Fee Schedule
To ensure the best care for our hounds, Greyt Angels covers all medical and fostering costs before our hounds find their forever homes. As of September 2024, our adoption fees are:
- $400 for greyhound mixes, lurchers, and other sighthounds
- $500 for retired racing greyhounds
- See Puppy Adoption Info Below for Dogs Under 1 Year
- Adoption fees for senior and special needs dogs depend on their specific health requirements and age. We aim to make adoption accessible while covering the costs of any extra care they might need.
Your adoption fee is a crucial investment that enables us to continue providing care and support for these wonderful dogs. It ensures they receive the best possible start in their new lives with you.
