Greyhound Ranch Adoptions, Inc.

The fundamental mission is the preservation of greyhound lives, the permanent placement of greyhounds in adopting households, and the education of the public regarding the characteristics of the breed, the history of this companion and hunting anmimal, and the training of a volunteer staff in canine retrieval, health care,foster care,and educational endeavors. We provide shelter and medical care for greyhounds retiring from racing activities. Through our foster program, these beautiful canines make the transition from the life of a trained athlete to household pet.

All greyhounds are adopted by application only and adopters must agree that the Greyhound will be an indoor pet only. At time of adoption all Greyhounds (except puppies) are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, micro-chipped, heartworm tested, and have teeth cleaned and nails trimmed. A small adoption fee is charged to cover the cost of these services. An application form must be completed at time of dog selection. A deposit is required to reserve a Greyhound of choice which will be applied towards adoption fee. A home visit is required where an adoption contract will be signed. All household members including animals must be present. Children must be at least 8 years old in order to adopt a Greyhound. If there is ever a need to give up the Greyhound, the dog must be returned to the Ranch and no other animal facility or other person. Greyhounds must never be out of a house or fenced in area without a leash and collar.
