Over 300 greyhound adoption groups work tirelessly to find happy homes for happy hounds. Contact a local adoption group to find the available hounds in your area. These hounds are available to special homes. Just keep scrolling to see their beautiful faces, and read their stories.
Such a sad story. Bella had a home for 5 years, when her owner died. she found another happy home, with Marvin. Then tragedy struck when the husband died, and a downturn in the economy found the wife needing to live with her mother, who is unable to have dogs in her house. Both former owner and Bella are bereft. Bella, 8, loves to have a person to hang with on the couch, and even in the bed if possible. She does know what she wants, and will often tell you. She is cat safe, and little dog safe. Call Janice at 702-565-8892
Marvin is a perfect gentleman. He goes with the flow, and is very loving. If you give him your face he will kiss you forever. He uses the dog door, doesn't get on furniture or bed. Cat and little dog safe.
A shrunken greyhound. Not really. This little Italian Greyhound is living amidst a lot of big dogs and is doing really. He's very loving, and totally a snuggler. Dog door trained. We think about 2-3 years old. He has a previous broken front leg that wasn't taken care of, and so has a permanent crooked leg. It does not cause him any problems, and he gets around just fine.
Abby is a strikingly beautiful white with red female. She is 3 ½ years old and a petite size who gets her exercise in by walking half a mile daily with her foster mom. Abby is very affectionate and loves children. Like her sister, Marcie, who came to our adoption program after her, she interacts appropriately with children, loves to play with toys and loves sunbathing in the yard.
Abby is loving, attentive and looking for a family that she can snuggle up with before the fire or spend time with playing games, gardening or just lazying around the yard. She has a personality as lovely as she is and will bestow a lifetime of enjoyment on her new family.
She came to us with very bad teeth, and while they are being taken care of now, her mouth will need continual attention.
ARNOLD is a beautiful 10 year old who spent many of his years reigning as king of his racing kennel. Arnold is now enjoying playing with the two older female Greyhounds in his foster home. He is in fantastic shape, enjoys walks and conspiring with the other Greyhounds to get treats. Arnold would not mind sharing his living space with a feline or two. Contact Carol thru email or call at 800-366-1472.
Sam - racing name Semper Fi
I've met this boy, and he is a love. He's at that perfect age of five. Not too silly, and certainly not generatric. He's graying out a bit early, so has a very distinguished look about him. But there's nothing laid back about this boy. He's looking for fun. He is curious and interested in everything around him. He loves to play and loves to cuddle. He'll climb in your lap if you let him.
One of his joys in life is to chase tennis balls. If you ever thought about entering fly ball competitions, this is your greyhound. Very few greyhounds enjoy fetch. Sam lives for it. More about Sam at GPI's web site. Contact Moira Corrigan if interested at 425-333-0515.
Almost Home for Hounds has many many dogs needing homes. AHH does all the medical and behavioral work, and then transports hounds to adoption groups, who find them homes. These pictures are representative of some of the dogs at AHH. The over 50 hounds are always changing. Right now over 30% of the hounds there are older, and so in need of love. Some of their pictures and stories are below. We think they are the Best Kept Secret. There are also many young ones, that haven't been handled, and need patient, understanding homes. If homes aren't found, they never get a chance at love.
I'm happy to help with any questions, just email me.
Love Letter is a sweet, old gal. She gets along with everyone, and is wise beyond her 9 years. Raced and bred, and likes cats.
Miss Rebecca is an 8 year old spit fire, with an opinion. Nothing slows her down, or gets in her way. She's full of personality and looking for love.
Rosa is a gorgeous smokey brindle. She's looking a little sad here, though, because all her teeth had to pulled. At eight years old, she's mellow and looking to give love.
Yosemite gets along with everyone, even cats. A friendly, outgoing girl, she is mellow and patient. She's nine.
NOTE: The Greyhound Gang is currently fundraising to help the over 50 hounds at Almost Home for Hounds and so we are not directly placing many greyhounds, except some very special ones. However, we do refer to these groups in our area, and are happy to answer any questions.

Zeke
Zeke is one gorgeous guy, who turns a lot of heads. He was selected by National Geographic as the cover guy for their new book on DogTown.
He's been at Best Friends for 5 years. He's 7 now. Everyone that meets Zeke loves him. He can be a bit reserved in the initial meeting, but once you start to pet him, he is yours.
This Dalmation/Hound mix gets along well with other dogs. He loves going for walks, and can even go off leash in safe areas with other dogs. He prefers the country life, and not the bustle of a city, as too much stimuli makes him cranky. That's why a home with young children wouldn't be right for him. Oh, and he has a thing about vets. He absolutely hates anything involving medical work. So he's all about staying healthy. Here's his write-up on Best Friends web site.
Zeke has been with the Gang for the past 5 days. He's a very good house guest, especially considering he hasn't had much practice at it. Learned the dog door, sleeps near me when I'm working on the computer, comes when you call, does very well off leash in a safe area, gets along well with other dogs. After observing him, I have to say that I don't think he has sighthound in him, but he does have hound in him. He's got that need to chase birds, and range out in his area. His movements favor the more wide ranging lope of a hound mix. His incredible coloring and patches show the Dalmation in him. He's been in a run at Best Friends for five years. Will you be his forever person?
Kemma is a sweet, sassy girl that adores adult people. Her owner died just last September, and she's been at Best Friends hoping for a home ever since then. She's about five years old. There is probably some sighthound in her. But her other mixture says she needs to be boss, and doesn't like other female dogs and children. Her Best Friends write up is here. Look at that face and fall in love.
