Hermes's Story

Hermes came to the US from Spain on May 8. He is six years old, and gets along well with other dogs, especially those his own size. His crate at the shelter in Spain had three other dogs in addition to him, so we know he is good at making canine friends!<br/><br/>Hermes stayed in his first foster home for several weeks, and they said he was an wonderful boy. They described him as a quiet, sweet, and friendly dog with good leash manners and no housetraining concerns. He is laid back and values companionship with his humans. <br/><br/>Hermes was very leery of men when he first came to the US, as many galgos are. In his first foster home, he would often bark at Foster Dad whenever he moved around the house. In order to give Hermes an easier transition, it was decided that he might do best in a different home for a while. He was initially afraid of the men there as well, but now has had several additional weeks to decompress and learn that men aren't as scary as they first seemed. He gets along well with everyone in his foster family now - it seems like he just needed a bit more time to come out of his shell!<br/><br/>Hermes is not afraid of loud noises or storms. He loves treats, playing with toys, and being your shadow. Oh, and he certainly loves boat rides on the lake, too! Hermes isn't a fan of cats or small dogs but does fine with the other resident dogs. He also sleeps through the night - this handsome boy just needs a bed to call his own! <br/><br/>We primarily adopt across the Midwest, including Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, Missouri, and surrounding states. Submit your adoption application today!<br/><br/>* * * * *<br/><br/>All of our available dogs reside in foster homes after joining American Greyhound, which means we gradually learn more about them the longer they are with us. We try to update profiles as we learn new information, but if you have questions about a specific dog, please ask!<br/><br/>Adoption fees include a routine vet exam/testing, spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchipping, and dental (if needed), as well as a safety harness, martingale collar, and matching leash. Adoption costs help to pay for transportation and other expenses as well.<br/><br/>* * * * *<br/><br/>Not ready to adopt just yet? New foster families are always welcome and very much needed!

American Greyhound's Adoption Policy
There are so many hounds in need of loving homes, and we are excited that you are considering adopting one of these great dogs! We look forward to helping you find the best dog for your family. To get started, please review the adoption resources on our website and then visit our adoption application page to submit your information. * * * * * Adoption Information We primarily adopt across the Midwest, including Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, and Missouri. In special cases, transportation can be arranged outside of our usual area. Adoption fees include spay/neuter, dental (if needed), vaccinations, and routine exam/testing. All dogs also come with a martingale collar, safety harness, and leash. Because every dog is living in a foster home, we gradually learn more about them the longer they are with us. They have new experiences, like meeting big or small dogs, living with additional pets, or spending time with children. They also begin to acclimate to living in a home, including learning house manners and developing a routine. We try to update profiles as we learn new information, but if you have questions about a specific dog, please ask! * * * * * Application Process Your application will be delivered to our volunteer Adoption Coordinators, who will typically contact you within a few days. Your adoption coordinator will set up a time to speak with you about your interest in adopting a sighthound and discuss which dogs may be a good match. We'll also contact your references. When determining if a dog would be a good fit, we help you take into consideration factors like other pets, children in the home, household activity level, and more. Our goal is to find a match that is ideal not just for you and your family, but for the dog as well. We will help coordinate the pick-up/drop-off of your new family member with you and the hound’s foster family or one of our transport volunteers. Your adoption coordinator will also let you know when the adoption fee should be paid. Adoption fees vary by hound and can be found on each dog’s individual profile. * * * * * “Cat-Tolerable” Hounds Due to the importance of finding a safe match for homes with feline residents, we ask for your understanding in giving priority to those with cats living in the home when “cat-tolerant” hounds are available. Potential adopters who do not have cats should choose from the “not cat-tolerant” hounds whenever possible, so that households with cats are able to adopt hounds, too. (For more information on cat introductions and sighthounds’ compatibility with cats, please visit our website.) Please be aware that even if a dog is "cat-safe", they may not get along with a specific cat, so we advise slow and careful introductions for every dog. * * * * * Return Policy If a particular hound is not working out in your home for any reason, such as conflicts with other pets, children, etc., American Greyhound will always take the dog back and will find another home that is a better match. Remember that every hound has been welcomed into the hearts and home of his or her foster family once already, and our volunteers will gladly welcome them again. Please note, it is required that any dog adopted from American Greyhound be returned to our organization if they cannot stay in their adoptive home, regardless of the reason for return. * * * * * We look forward to helping you find your new best friend!
