Greyhound Rescue & Adoption Organizations

Please Note: Greyhounds typically have a short racing career, usually retiring by the age of five years, and since their life expectancy is between 12 to 15 years, there are almost always adult dogs looking for adoption into loving homes. Also see the Fundraiser Events listed where there are always various events happening, including meet-and-greets, which gives you a good opportunity to meet a Greyhound. We urge you to consider the adoption of an adult Greyhound. Canada: Greyhound Pets Inc. A non-profit greyhound rescue and adoption organization in the Pacific Northwest.
