Friends of Greyhounds - Greyhound Adoption

Greyhound Adoption Information

More detailed information
Friends of Greyhounds offers you the opportunity to apply to adopt a greyhound. We will ask you to complete a rather lengthy application and agree to some terms including one or more home visits by one of our members. We reserve the right to deny your application. The fee to adopt is $175 payable in cash, by check or credit card.

You can see pictures of the dogs we currently have available for adoption by clicking here.We hold an open house every Saturday and Sunday at our adoption kennel in Hialeah where you can meet lots of dogs. If you can't make it on a weekend, we may be able to meet you another evening in Hialeah by appointment. And a few dogs are available to be seen in Sunrise by appointment. Call 954-578-0072 for more information.

The dog you adopt will:
• Have been spayed or neutered before you receive him or her (NO EXCEPTIONS).
• Have received all shots including rabies vaccine.
• Have been dewormed.
• Have been tested for heartworms.
• Have received Revolution a topical flea, tick and heartworm preventative.
• Have had teeth cleaned and any necessary dental work done.
• Be as medically cared for as is reasonable.
• Come with a new collar and leash.

You will receive a vet's report on what medical care the dog has received prior to your adoption so that you can transfer that information to your own vet. We recommend you take the dog to your own vet as soon as possible so that they can meet each other and your vet can do an initial check up. We will also provide you with a manual that will help guide you. If you'd like to read it online, click here.

If we have been able to get the dog's racing name, we will provide it and any breeding or performance information we can retrieve. Although these dogs have racing names they usually haven't been called by these names and don't answer to them. You should feel free to re-name the dog without causing confusion.

Adopters are given the telephone numbers of support volunteers who will be happy to answer questions or help with problems at any time during your transition.

Call us at (954) 578-0072 to ask additional questions or just come to the kennel on Saturday or Sunday to meet the greyhounds!
