Greyhound Pets of America North Texas
Our Featured Pet...
If you like the pretty petite little girls, then Annie is the girl for you. She was bred for racing but since she was the only puppy born in her litter, she was spoiled! When it was time for her to begin her training for racing, she must have said who me? You want me to get my feet dirty? I don't think so!
News
Wonder why we only have a few dogs when other groups have more? The reason is we are an extremely small group! Every dog we have lives in our homes, we do not have a kennel like several of the groups do. Plus it costs a fortune to feed and vet all the dogs. This means every penny we get goes straight to either dog food or medical bills. If you could please help us, we would really appreciate it!!!
Currently we only have 3 foster homes, as you can see this really restricts the number of dogs we have available. If you would like to help us please visit our website and fill out the volunteer application on our website.
Who We Are
Greyhound Pets of America North Texas is a chapter of the national Greyhound Pets of America Organization. GPA is the largest Greyhound Adoption agency in the United States. We work with the Greyhound Racing Industry to find homes for Greyhounds that are either retired or no longer qualify to race. We consider ourselves to be Pro-Greyhound, this means that we do not take a stance on the issue of Greyhound Racing.
Adopting a friend
The biggest myth about Greyhounds is that they require a very big yard to run in. This is not the case, Greyhounds are not called the "45 mph couch potato" for nothing! The typical Greyhound is satisfied with either a few walks a day or a few trots around their yard. Then they will come inside and take a nap. Most are also happy to have a few soft toys to throw around the house.
If you would like to adopt a Greyhound, please visit our website for an online application. Once your application is submitted, a volunteer will call you and discuss your circumtances and which Greyhound we feel will best fit your lifestyle/home life. Our adoption fee is $225.00 for Greyhounds aged 7 and below. Our senior's adoption fee is $150.00. All of our dogs are vetted and treated for any injuries/illness prior to being available for adoption. Your newly adopted Greyhound will come with a matching martingale collar and leash, turnout muzzle and adoption manuel.
