A special note on COVID-19:

Thank you so much for applying to adopt a hound through Grateful Greyhounds.

At this time, and due to the COVID-19 pandemic all applications will be placed ON HOLD.

We are not able to get dogs to New York at the pace we are used to, nor are we able to spay/neuter them and update their vaccinations. In addition we are not able to conduct home visits or deliver dogs to peoples homes. We will hold onto all applications and review them when the COVID-19 situation changes. We are sorry for any inconvenience.

A special note on COVID-19:

What breed are you interested in?

Due to track closures throughout the US, the demand for greyhounds is much greater than the availability, currently. Our goal is to continue to be an organization that welcomes and finds homes for Ex racers, and when we are able to help more greyhounds we will open this application back up.
