What to expect when adopting a greyhound

Greyhounds are affectionate, calm and friendly. They are very people-oriented dogs who will be happy to spend time with you, your family and your other pets. Greyhounds are very low-maintenance dogs. They don’t bark much (or at all), they don’t shed, and they don’t need a lot of exercise. They are generally very easy to care for and are great for families, first-time dog owners and seniors. Greyhounds are quiet-natured dogs, and they typically live in a home environment without making much noise at all. When it is time for them to sleep, they will often retreat somewhere quiet, such as in a corner of the room or under the bed. Greyhounds are also very calm dogs. This means they don’t often get over-excited or show much emotion. Greyhounds are generally a calm and even-tempered dog.

Adoption requirements

In order to adopt a greyhound through Greyhound Pets of America, you will need to provide proof of a fenced-in yard and note that you will only adopt a greyhound who is at least 2 years old. If you are looking to adopt a greyhound from another organization, you will likely need to meet the same requirements as listed above. If you are interested in adopting a greyhound, but you don’t meet the age or fencing requirements, you can always contact the adoption agency directly to ask if there are any options for you.

The cost of greyhound adoption

The adoption fee for a greyhound varies widely for a variety of reasons. Adoption fees are determined by the adoption organization, and some charge a fee while others do not. Greyhound Pets of America also offers a sponsorship program, where you can pay a monthly fee to help support their organization as well as provide medical and other care for the greyhounds in their network. If you are interested in adopting a greyhound, you can contact Greyhound Pets of America directly or visit their website to learn more about sponsorship options. You can also contact local adoption agencies directly to ask about the adoption fee and any additional costs you may incur as a new owner.
