adopt a greyhound who can no longer race

I adopted a retired racing greyhound in March of 2006. Most hounds adjust to home life right away. They really make fantastic pets. I recommend, as I always do to anyone who’s considering a new pet, that you research the breed to be sure that it’s a good match for you and your family. Two books that I can personally recommend, having read them, are Adopting the Racing Greyhound by Cynthia A. Branigan and Greyhounds: A Complete Pet Owner’s Manual by D. Caroline Coile.

I’d be happy to talk with anyone who’s seriously considering greyhound adoption, to share stories and resources and encouragement!
