Team Greyhound Adoption of Ohio, Inc.'s adoption process
Additional adoption info
The adoption fee is $225.00. The fee for “senior” greyhounds 8 and over is $150.00. In some special cases, the fee may be slightly more or less. It is non-refundable.
We require both personal and vet (if you have one) references. After the references have been approved, you will be contacted to arrange a home visit with your dog of choice or one that matches your lifestyle. Although you may see a picture of a beautiful dog and want to adopt it, it may not be the right dog for your home. Sometimes we have multiple applications for the same dog so please remember that all dogs are placed at the discretion of Team Greyhound. We usually will bring several dogs on a home visit to see which might work best in your household. The purpose of the home visit is to introduce the greyhound to your home, family and other pets. We also check for any home related safety issues. After the home visit is completed, a recommendation is then made for adoption. If approved you will be notified and the adoption day will be arranged. The length of time between receiving your application and adopting your dog will depend on a variety of factors. Generally, the process takes about 2-3 weeks. Please be patient as we are all volunteers working hard on our spare time to place these dogs in a timely manner. If you want to know the status of your application, please feel free to contact your area representative at any time. Note: Home visits, with the opportunity to bring available dogs, is done only if you live local to an area representative and dogs are being fostered in the area. If no dogs are currently in your area, a home visit may still be done, however, you may need to come to Northwest Ohio to get your dog. If a dog is located at a correctional facility near you, we can often make arrangements for you to meet us there to pick up the dog.

About Team Greyhound Adoption of Ohio, Inc.
Since 1999, we have placed over 1200 retired racers into adoptive homes and at any given time we have between 40 and 60 greyhounds available for adoption allowing a variety of temperaments, sizes, and colors from which to choose. Team Greyhound Adoption of Ohio, Inc. founded the first retired racing greyhound training prison program in Ohio. The racers that we place are trained in Ohio prisons for a minimum of three months prior to adoption. This training ensures a secure match with the adoptive families through their training in socialization, basic obedience, and house manners. The racers reside in foster homes after graduation from their training program, where they have an opportunity to be shown at meet-n-greets in our branches throughout Ohio.

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.
