Who We Are
Greyhound Friends of N.J., Inc. is a non-profit group dedicated to the rescue, appreciation, and care of the greyhound dog. The organization rescues as many dogs as possible from death after racing, giving them appropriate medical attention, and placing them in safe, loving homes. GFNJ encourages caring treatment of all animals, educates the public about the qualities of the greyhound and the need for humane treatment of the greyhounds in the racing industry. GFNJ promotes responsible pet ownership, including neutering, and holds adoption seminars wherever we are invited to appear to communicate information about the greyhound to the general public.
Adopting a friend
The adoption process begins when you have made the final decision that a greyhound is the dog for you. We ask you to fill out an application giving us some information about your lifestyle-children, other pets, time away from home, fenced in yard, etc. We require that $25.00 of the $235.00 adoption donation be included with the application. The $25.00 deposit is non-refundable. The information you provide on the application helps us to find a dog which will be a good match for your home. There is a reduced adoption fee for dogs over 7 years old.
