Greyhound Friends Inc.

I've been a volunteer on and off since 2010 and am now a board member. I've adopted 5 greyhounds from this rescue over the years and have had a great experience every time. The kennel has been recently updated and new leadership is in place. The living conditions for the dogs are excellent. I am proud to serve this organization and look forward to many more years of helping dogs to find the loving homes that they deserve.

When my husband and I wanted to adopt a greyhound last fall, we visited Greyhound Friends. The manager took the time to review our application and talk with us to get to know us and our home/lifestyle in order to match us with the right dog for us. She introduced us to a couple of dogs and we were able to spend as much time as we wanted with them in the kennel's large open yard. A perfect match was made and we brought home a wonderful, lovable, silly, greyhound! The manager also provided us with guidance/information in care specific to the greyhounds, answered any questions we had, and even loaned us a crate to help settle the dog into his new home. When we have returned to Greyhound Friend's for periodically to visit, our greyhound is always excited to return, “rooing" (which means he’s happy) out the window as we turn down the driveway. The manager always greets Albert by name and he is delighted to see her, other staff/volunteers and fellow hounds. The manager and staff are always willing to help or give recommendations anytime we have a question or concern.

My family has adopted 4 greyhounds from Greyhound Friends over the past 18 years. We love that GHF takes the time to get to know us, know our normal daily routine, know what type of environment we would be bringing a dog home to before they even let us talk about what, if any, dog would be a good fit for our family. When we adopted our first greyhound, Hope, they made it easy for us to know what we needed to tell our vet. All her paperwork came in a folder and they also went over it all with us before we left. We also received a handful of follow up phone calls from Greyhound Friends after we brought Hope home to make sure everything was going well and to see if we had any questions. It was such a WONDERFUL experience that after we lost Hope we went back and have adopted 3 more from Greyhound Friends. Each experience has been the same. Wonderful, very complete, very enjoyable. You can tell they truly care about each and every single dog and want to make sure they go to the right home. The kennels are always clean, the dogs are very well cared for and loved. I can not say enough wonderful things about Greyhound Friends. They are the BEST!

We've been adopting from Greyhound Friends for nine years and have brought home three wonderful greys. We've also volunteered there and visit the kennel regularly. Louise has a special knack for matching adopters with the right dog for them and isn't afraid to turn away those who she feels cannot give the dogs the best life possible. There is a passionate network of staff, volunteers, and adopters providing great care for the dogs and we've received ongoing support after adoption as well. We look forward to adopting many more dogs from Greyhound Friends and continuing to support their rescue efforts.
