Greyhound Adoption League of Texas, Inc. (GALT) is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation operating in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, throughout Texas, New Mexico and the United States since May, 2001. GALT has assisted more than 3,900 greyhounds and other sighthounds in finding their forever homes. GALT depends solely on donations and net proceeds from its GreytStore.org for its operating budget of more than $650,000 per year for needs of the dogs in its possession. GALT takes a neutral stand on greyhound racing. GALT is always willing to sing the praises of owning retired racing greyhounds as companion pets. If your club, organization or group is interested in hosting an educational presentation, please contact us and we will gladly endeavor to accommodate your schedule.
This document defines GALT’s requirements for veterinarian care for an applicant’s pet(s), both foster and adoption. In addition to the items listed below, we will also inquire as to the historical care of the pets. In the event that the practice is no longer open, dated records on practice letterhead will be accepted in lieu of the vet check. All cats and dogs must be current on core vaccinations (Rabies, DHPP) and wellness exam. Cats that are kept solely indoors must be current on Rabies vaccinations as it is required by law. If the pet is exempt from core vaccinations, a letter must be submitted signed by a veterinarian explaining why the animal is not current. Annual heartworm test is required with proof of current monthly heartworm preventative. If the pet or pets is/are not current, they must not be greater than 6 months overdue. If greater than six months overdue, GALT has the right to terminate its consideration for adoption or foster. If less than 6 months overdue, the applicant has 7 days to update his/her pets’ vaccinations and physical exams. GALT recommends, in consultation with your veterinarian, current Bordatella, Lepto and Canine Flu vaccinations as well as monthly flea and tick preventatives due to the high exposure to diseases. If pets are recently deceased (within the past quarter), we will conduct the vet check to ensure that they were kept current before they passed away and were well cared for in life. Adoption applications will not be considered unless they are complete and the $75.00 adoption application deposit has been paid. Out of town adopters will need to travel to Dallas, TX or Albuquerque, NM to finalize paperwork and adopt their chosen greyhound. Applicants must be 21 or over and financially able to support the needs of the greyhound. GALT does not adopt to families with children the age of six and under unless they are previous greyhound owners or currently have a greyhound. You can pay the deposit online by going to the Adoption Application Deposit item in the GreytStore. This will give you a Confirmation Number that you will need to include on your adoption application, or you can mail an application to GALT with a check or money order for $75. $25 of the deposit is non-refundable, and all of it applies to the adoption fee. The refundable $50 portion of the adoption deposit is payable to the applicant by check as requested by applicant. Online applications can be processed more quickly, please use the online application if possible. If you need to use the printable application, please mail it with your deposit to: Greyhound Adoption League of Texas, Inc., 3400 Carlisle St #310, Dallas, TX 75204-1265. Greyhounds on Injured Reserve are not available for applications or appointments until they are recovered and made available for adoption. GALT's non-refundable adoption fee is $550 for all greyhounds under 8 years, and $450 for greyhounds age 8 and up. The remainder of the adoption fee is due when the greyhound is adopted. Your adoption fee allows GALT to help the next greyhound! GALT's average cost per greyhound is over $750.00 - read more in the Adoption FAQ about what we do for our dogs. Not all adoption groups offer the high quality medical procedures that GALT does. Be informed before your adoption. All approved applications are good for six months from the approval date. At the end of that time frame a new application will need to be submitted. If you are looking to adopt a greyhound who will be an only dog or one who can live with cats, please be advised that we have a waiting list of applications for these conditions and it can take quite a bit longer to find and match you with a suitable greyhound. GALT greyhounds come with their medical history, implanted microchip, a greyhound martingale collar, a leash, a muzzle, a belly band (for boys), a dental care start-up kit, and additional informational material.
