Application | Greyt Angels - Greyt Angels Greyhound Adoption

Greyhound ownership is a serious responsibility and commitment. This application is intended to assist Greyt Angels Greyhound Adoption, Inc., in evaluating the willingness and ability of prospective greyhound adopters to meet that responsibility. If you are not willing to accept some temporary problems you may want to reconsider whether or not to adopt.

You should expect a period of adjustment, not all greyhounds adjust as quickly as others. Please do not consider adoption if you will not be able to make a lifelong commitment. The average greyhound can be expected to live in excess of 12 years. Please also consider the financial responsibility in adopting a greyhound. This responsibility does not end with the adoption fee. While greyhounds tend to be a healthy breed, there are veterinary costs associated with caring for any dog.

Multiple applications may be received on the same greyhound; adoptions are not decided on a "first come" basis. Our board will review each application to decide the best home for the hound. Our goal is to place our hounds in the best environment for their personality, temperament, activity level, etc. to ensure that they have a forever home. Greyt Angels reserves the right to deny any application for any reason and without explanation either outright, or during any stage of the adoption process, including during or after a home visit.

If you do not have cats or other small animals, please consider adopting one of our hounds that is not small animal tolerant. The higher prey drive hounds are just as friendly, cute, loveable and outgoing towards people as their small animal tolerant counterparts, but often wait longer on their forever homes due to their high prey drive.
