Greyhound Retirement Foundation of Tennessee

We are an all volunteer adoption group which became a reality in June 2000. We successfully obtained our non profit status and have worked extremely hard with our focus on helping Greyhounds find loving homes. We work with many groups and send referrals anytime we get inquiries out of our area.

Greyhound Retirement Foundation of Tennessee has grown but we are still a close Greyhound family. We follow-up with and support all our adopters.

We are fairly small but makeup for it with our determination.

If you are located in or around East Tennessee, the boarders in KY, AL and GA check us out at www.greyoundretirement.org
