All About Hounds is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit, all volunteer-based greyhound rescue group formed in 2009 in Smyrna, TN with the singular purpose of focusing efforts on greyhound rescue in Tennessee. We consider retired racing greyhounds to be wonderful companions that deserve the best possible forever home we can find.

Our goal is to put the welfare and best interests of the greyhound first and promote the group and its works by maintaining a reputation throughout the community as a positive presence committed to educate the public in the availability of greyhounds as pets. We want to do so by preserving a productive and positive atmosphere by being compassionate, respectful and appreciative to volunteers while exhibiting pride in the organization. Our volunteers strive to provide fast, friendly customer service before, during and after the adoption, and use face-to-face solicitation, fundraising, donations, memberships and grant writing in order to grow the organization. By working to increase the volunteer base and thereby increasing the availability of foster homes we will save more and more greyhounds. All the while, we know we must develop and maintain professional relationships with all principled groups in the industry in order to provide help where it is most needed whenever possible.

Our group is proud to be “all about the hounds”.

All About Hounds's adopted pets

Adopt a Pet is the easiest way for you to search for a new pet in Smyrna, TN.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
