My personality

My story

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

ADOPTION PENDING--Bob will arrive from Ireland on December 10. Bob is a sweet boy who loves people and attention. He is already good on leash and will make a wonderful companion. Bob retired from racing with a fractured hock on May 25 of this year. His hock has been surgically repaired with a plate and pins. Bob has now fully recovered and is ready for his forever home. Unlike a lot of greyhounds, Bob would prefer to be an only dog. (He prefers human company to that of other dogs.) We have chosen Bob for the Greyhound Advancement Center's training program, so when he graduates around the end of January, he will know all of his basic commands. We will get a better photo of Bob when he arrives. For more information, please check out our website, www.bayaragreyounds,org, and go to Prison Trained Greyhounds. If you would like to meet Bob and reserve him for your own before he goes into the prison, please e-mail or call at 813-935-3247.

Additional adoption info

Our adoption process is easy! You complete and submit an Application to Adopt, on-line through our website. If you have pets, they will need to be spayed or neutered, current on vaccines, and on heartworm preventative. If you rent, you will need to have permission from your landlord to have a dog the size of a greyhound. After your application is approved, you will have an opportunity to meet the greyhound you have chosen and to make sure that he or she and your pets are compatible. Adoption fees range from $250 for seniors (age 7 ad older). We have a limited number of "prison trained" greyhounds who will be trained in all their basic commands. The adoption fee depends on our price for shipping from Ireland. and is listed on the profile for each dog.

The adoption fee partially defrays the veterinary costs we incur. Before adoption, your greyhound will be spayed or neutered, have had his or her teeth cleaned, received all vaccines, Bordetella (to guard against kennel cough), had a routine fecal check and wormed if necessary, have been micro chipped,and have been started on heartworm preventative. You will also receive a leash and collar, adoption guide, grooming glove, stuffie toy, turn-out muzzle, BAGA ID tag, toothbrush, and oral gel.

Go meet their pets

Please check out website, www.bayareagreyhounds.org for a list of adoption events each month. Since all of our greyhounds are fostered in individual homes, they are not in one central location. If you are interested in meeting a particular greyhound you see on Adoptapet.com, please call us for a location where that greyhound may be seen (813)935-3247.

More about this rescue

Bay Area Greyhound Adoptions was founded in July 2004 for the purpose of finding pet homes for retired racing greyhounds of for those greyhounds who never qualified for the track. We are recognized as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization and all contributions are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. We are an all-volunteer organization and all funds we raise go directly to help greyhounds in need. To date, we have found homes for almost 2,000 greyhounds.

All of our greyhounds are prison trained and know their basic commands. We also have a few seniors who are pes that are returned from adoptive homes.
