My personality

My story

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

ADOPTION PENDING--Penny will arrive from Ireland on February 18th. She is a gorgeous little girl, full of life, and just a sweetheart. Penny's mom stepped on her when she was very young and broke her leg. It has been surgically repaired and she is now out of her cast and ready for a new home. Penny has a slight limp, which we think might get better with time and when she uses her leg muscles more. She is a quick learner and has lived in a home with another dog. She already sits on command and loves to cuddle and be with you. Like any pup, Penny is playful and loves going for walks. She loves to run and play and her leg does not bother her at all. She is an all around wonderful little girl and since she has been raised in a home, she is already house trained. She loves to ride in the car (see photo) so she would be good with travelling. You will receive vet records with her. Penny has been chosen for our prison training program and will go to Central Florida Reception Center. You can meet Penny before she goes into the prison. For more information please call us or send an e-mail. For more information on the prison training program, please go to our website, www.bayareagreyhounds.org and click on Prison Trained Greyhounds., Penny will graduate and be ready to go home with you around May 10th.

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.
