One of our trained placement volunteers will contact you for a phone interview and answer any questions you have. After the phone interview, the placement volunteer will schedule a time to visit your home. You and the placement representative will put together a profile of the dog best suited to your lifestyle and needs, as well as identify any safety issues in your home and yard. You receive an emailed link to our New Owners Guide. Most of our available greyhounds are in foster homes. We compare the profile you have developed with the foster home profiles and select dogs that are the best fit. Your placement representative will contact you with the names and description of the dogs we think best meet your preferences and needs, as well as the needs of the greyhound. The dogs may be brought to your home or to a visit at Hounds Rest, our temporary kennel. You can choose one of these dogs or continue looking. Once you’ve found the right dog for you, your placement representative will meet with you to complete the adoption. You have one (1) week from the time you select a greyhound to adopt and take possession of the dog, or you will be charge a $20.00 per day boarding fee. This defers the cost to maintain your greyhound in our foster program after it is adopted.
