Adoption Information and Application Form
ADOPTING A GREYHOUND
Greyhounds make wonderful pets! We encourage you to visit the rest of our web site and our kennel to learn more about the temperament and requirements of the greyhound. We work hard to ensure that we place greyhounds that have well-matched and compatible. The safety and well being of the greyhounds is of the utmost importance to GFNC, staff and adoption counselors.
If you decide to adopt a greyhound, these are the costs you will incur. Your adoption fee of $295.00 with each adopted greyhound applies towards neutering, shots, and a collar and used muzzle.

Help by being a Sponsor
So you can't adopt a greyhound but still want to help? Become a Sponsor by pledging a minimum of $10.00 as a monthly donation on behalf of the greyhound of your choice. Your pledge allows you to help with the costs for one of the hounds while he/she is waiting for adoption.
Sponsorship is a wonderful way for for school classrooms, retirement home residents, and others who can't physically adopt a greyhound of their own to participate fully in our rescue and adoption effort. Just $10 dollars a month sponsorship for each dog would be a tremendous help to keep GNFC finding homes for retired racers and educating the public about these wonderful dogs. Our adoption fees help to cover the basic medical requirement for adoptive placement; spay/neuter, shots, teeth cleaning, worming, etc. As a non-profit organization, we rely on your donations to feed and house the greyhounds and to cover the costs of medical expenses beyond the norm.
All donations are tax deductible; 501(C)(3) not-for-profit organization.
