Greyhound Connection

Greyhound Connection is a non-​profit, volunteer-​run organization that helps to rescue, foster, and place former racing greyhounds into adopted loving homes. I rescued my greyhound through this organization and they did an EXCELLENT, PROFESSIONAL job — they ensure the home the greys are being placed in are a perfect match by conducting interviews, inspecting your home, checking references, and taking into consideration your lifestyle, family life, other pets (if any) and work schedule. They find the pefect pup with the perfect personality to fit you, and you get to interview and meet the pet 1-​on-​1 and they will even drive out the grey to your house to make sure he/​she will be comfortable in this new environment and with you.
I HIGHLY recommend using this service and contacting them if you are even considering rescuing a pup! Greyhounds are incredibly mellow, sweet, affectionate dogs that really recognize and appreciate the fact you have rescued them from their horrible «previous life» as a racer where they are often mistreated and thousands of pups are worked and then discarded & euthanized even before the age of 3.
