Prison Greyhounds

Prison Greyhounds finds appropriate homes for greyhounds and greyhound lurchers. This includes retired track racers, field racers, blood donors, and the “farm” greyhounds that never raced. Most of our current dogs are greyhound lurcher mixes or "hero hounds". Lurchers are the forgotten underdogs of the greyhound world. These retired field trial racers are not forgotten by those who lovingly raise and race them, but they are overlooked by many potential adopters. Most lurchers who go through our adoption group are a mix of greyhound and coonhound, although any type of sighthound mix can be considered a lurcher. Our "hero hounds" are primarily seniors and have spent their lives saving other pets! They are all prior blood donors - a job many people do not even realize is necessary until they are faced with an emergency involving their own pet. The blood donation clinic we partner with takes special care of each dog to ensure they are living comfortable, happy lives, and when they retire, we help them find a family home to live out their golden years. Special focus is given to greyhounds and lurchers that might get overlooked, perhaps because of age, medical history, past injury, a personality quirk, or even appearance (did you know black dogs are least likely to be adopted?). Prison Greyhounds is an all-volunteer 501(c)3 non-profit organization serving adopters in Indiana and western Ohio. We are not affiliated with any other adoption group. We support responsible racing and are one of the National Greyhound Association Endorsed Responsible Adoption Groups.
