Greyhound Rescue
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. We urge you to consider the adoption of an adult Greyhound.
