Rescue FAQs

James River Greyhounds is a non-profit organization dedicated to finding responsible, caring homes for retired racing greyhounds. Since 1989, we have found "forever homes" for more than 1200 greyhounds - and counting! We are now partnered with Greyt Love Retirement (GLR) to bring even more greyhounds into the region! GLR provides a shelter to foster greyhounds while they await their forever homes.
