What Can These Greyhounds Really Do?

Here is a video showing what the typical trained greyhound can do (Sit, stay, down, come, door manners, leash manners)

How Much Does It Cost To Adopt These Trained Greyhounds?
The fee is $350. Keep in mind we are a non-profit and fee goes towards the cost of picking up the dogs from the track, getting their vet work done (spay/nueter, blood work, teeth cleaning etc.), training at the prison, and their food. A normal retired greyhound's fee is $225, so for only $125 you are getting a dog that went through 24/7 training for 9 weeks! It would cost you more than that just to take the greyhound to a group class for 1 hour a week. Plus you'd have to take all the time to go each week, and all the time to work with the dog on a daily basis. In this case the greyhound comes to you fully trained!

Many adoptive greyhounds come from unknown circumstances. Even if they are normally well-behaved greyhounds, most have a couple accidents in the house during the adjustment period and some also might chew furniture or other items left within reach. This is a very important reality with adopting. How do you feel about this?

We routinely arranges a home visit with all new adoptive homes. The goal is not to check for cleanliness or housekeeping, but to make sure that the home is or could be compatible with the lifestyle of a greyhound. The yard is checked to make sure it is securely fenced, the sleeping area for the greyhound is inspected, and toilet duties for the greyhound are discussed. Are you willing to have a home visit prior to adopting?	Yes No
All the information I have provided on this application is, to the best of my knowledge, true and complete. I understand that falsifying answers on this application, or at any other time during the approval process disqualifies me from adopting.
