Thinking about adopting?

We’d love to help you find your greyhound match!

To get started, we’ll ask for a bit of information about your home and lifestyle on our application form. This helps us make sure we match you with a dog that suits your household and sets both of you up for success.

Many greyhounds come from racing kennels where they’re used to having other dogs around. Some can struggle being left completely alone, which can lead to signs of separation anxiety like barking or chewing.

Because of this, we usually look to rehome greyhounds into homes where they’ll have company - either human or canine - and not be left alone for more than four hours on a regular basis. If that’s not your setup right now, don’t worry as we’re happy to chat about options such as dog walkers, doggy daycare, or taking your greyhound to work.

Our Adoption Checklist:

To be considered for adoption, we ask that you have:

A secure, fully fenced yard (minimum height around hip height)

A home where the dog is allowed to sleep inside at night

A routine that doesn’t leave the dog home alone regularly for long periods (more than 4 hours) without people or another dog for company

If you’re not sure whether you tick every box, please still apply! We’re happy to have a conversation and see if we have a greyhound who might be the right fit.

Please fill in as much detail as you can as there’s no word limit on any question.
