Interested in adopting a greyhound?

Greyhounds are intelligent, loyal, and good-natured.

Greyhounds require little exercise. They make excellent companions, even for apartment dwellers.

The most important factor to consider when adopting a greyhound is the suitability of the dog’s personality to your lifestyle.
