Before going further, step back and consider fully what you are doing. A dog
is not a trial-run item. It is a sentient being that will not understand why
it is once again being uprooted from its home. Nor will it understand that its
family welcomed it into their home and then tired of it as they would another toy.
When you invite a dog into your family, invite it as a real family member,
not a passing fancy or a conversation piece...
Count on having your
greyhound for another ten years. Count on spending a lot of money on food and veterinary
bills. Count on spending every day feeding, walking, and cleaning up
after your dog. Count on making sacrifices, whether it be chewed shoes, soiled
carpets, or compromised vacations. (from Greyhounds by D. Caroline Coile
PhD)
ATTENTION! It takes between two weeks and a month to get your greyhound once we process your
application. If you know that you are going to be busy in that time period,
please wait to submit your application. We are a small group and
depend on our foster volunteers to take care of our dogs. We cannot promise
you a dog if one comes in for you and you are not available to take it.
The people who are waiting and available will have the first opportunity to
adopt and we cannot guarantee that we will search for another suitable dog for
you. l
