My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Olive is a very sweet 9 year old female who came back from a home after her family of four years had to give her up. Olive is shy at first, but warms up quickly. She is suspicious of children but loves being around other greyhounds. She is very comfortable in a crate, even though she has the run of the house. She is on a daily dose of Proin to protect against incontinence, but Olive has had no accidents in her foster home. Olive recently had a dental and lost 13 teeth in the process. She feels much better now and she's eating her meals with gusto. She does not seem to be cat workable.

Additional adoption info

Adopters must fill out an application (available on our website or by mail) and have a home visit before being approved for adoption. Minimum adoption donation is currently $450 (for U.S. dogs) and $700 (for Irish dogs), and an adoption agreement must be completed. All of our greyhounds are spayed/neutered, vet-checked, heartworm tested, have had a dental cleaning and are current on recommended vaccinations. We require all dogs to be kept indoors and leash-walked or let out in fenced areas only. If an adopter can no longer care for his/her greyhound, it must be returned to the care of Greyhound Options, Inc.

Go meet their pets

Meet and Greets are held most weekends of the month at various store locations throughout Western MA, Northeastern MA and Northern CT. Please visit our website for a schedule of events.

We also have 2 special adoption events each year. Please visit our website dates and locations of this year's special events.

More about this rescue

Greyhound Options, Inc. was formed in 1995 by a small group of volunteers devoted to finding loving homes for retired racing greyhounds. We do not operate a kennel, but choose to provide these dogs the stability, care and comfort only possible through a foster home network. Fostering also enables us to truly evaluate the temperament and behavior of each dog in our care, so we can best match adopter with dog. In 2008 we passed the wonderful milestone of placing our 1000th greyhound! As a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization, all expenses are covered through donations, and volunteers are always needed. Please contact us if you would like to make a donation of any kind.
