There are 18 rescue groups for the Greyhound with a public listing, in 12 states. They are listed by state. A breed rescue usually keeps its dogs in foster homes, so there is often no kennel to visit: call or write first.
Rescues and shelters come from public business listings. We do not run adoptions and nobody pays to appear. Call first: hours and available dogs change every day.

Questions
Where can I find a Greyhound rescue near me?
We list 18 rescue groups for the Greyhound in 12 states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York and West Virginia. Many of them place dogs in neighboring states too, so call the closest one even if it is not in yours.
How much does it cost to adopt a Greyhound?
Each rescue sets its own adoption fee, which normally covers vaccines, a microchip and spaying or neutering.
Are there Greyhound dogs in general shelters?
Yes. Most purebred dogs given up by their owners end up in general animal shelters, not in breed rescues. Ask the shelters near you and tell them the breed you want.
