Home Adoption Greyhounds Dedication Links Contact
Greyhound adoption organizations like the Racing Dog Rescue Project are trying to change that! Greyhounds placed through the Racing Dog Rescue Project are usually between two and five years of age. These retired racers are very intelligent, adaptable dogs that fit easily into their new environment following a brief adjustment period. They are eager to please and respond positively to any attention given to them. They quickly become attached to their new families! The majority of retired track Greyhounds are quiet, clean, good-natured, gentle dogs who get along well with other animals and children. They seem grateful for their new homes and reward their new families with unending affection. They do not require a great deal of space to run as many people assume, and are usually quite content to curl up on a soft rug, blanket, or on the sofa! Greyhounds stand between 26 and 29 inches at the shoulder and weigh between 50 and 80 pounds with males being somewhat larger than females. Dog breeds vary. Unlike some breeds, Greyhound males tend to be gentler and females bossier
