With time comes great knowledge and experience, and over the last 28 years, we have learned from our volunteers, adopters and supporters that the quality of our work is just as important as our mission to find homes for as many sighthounds as possible. With the help from the community and our amazing volunteers we have placed thousands of dogs into their forever homes. But for us, it is not all about the numbers, but it is about each individual dog’s happiness and finding the right forever home. For some dogs, this means as loving pets or helping their person live a full and productive life as a service or emotional support dog. With this goal in mind, you have known us as Arizona Greyhound Rescue for over 28 years. Over the past few years we have continued to focus on Greyhounds and also on other sighthound breeds. What has been steady for over 28 years, is our commitment and unwavering dedication to our quality-of-life goal is to help people find the right sighthound for their life-style. What has changed and is new, is our name. In 2020 you will see Arizona Greyhound Rescue transition its brand to further embrace our new name – Arizona Heartfelt Hounds. This will expand our ability to reach out even further and do more of what we’ve always done over the last 28 years.
