Team Greyhound Adoption of Ohio, Inc.

The adoption fee is $225.00. The fee for “senior” greyhounds 8 and over is $150.00. In some special cases, the fee may be slightly more or less. It is non-refundable.

We require both personal and vet (if you have one) references. After the references have been approved, you will be contacted to arrange a home visit with your dog of choice or one that matches your lifestyle. Although you may see a picture of a beautiful dog and want to adopt it, it may not be the right dog for your home. Sometimes we have multiple applications for the same dog so please remember that all dogs are placed at the discretion of Team Greyhound. We usually will bring several dogs on a home visit to see which might work best in your household. The purpose of the home visit is to introduce the greyhound to your home, family and other pets. We also check for any home related safety issues. After the home visit is completed, a recommendation is then made for adoption. If approved you will be notified and the adoption day will be arranged. The length of time between receiving your application and adopting your dog will depend on a variety of factors. Generally, the process takes about 2-3 weeks. Please be patient as we are all volunteers working hard on our spare time to place these dogs in a timely manner. If you want to know the status of your application, please feel free to contact your area representative at any time. Note: Home visits, with the opportunity to bring available dogs, is done only if you live local to an area representative and dogs are being fostered in the area. If no dogs are currently in your area, a home visit may still be done, however, you may need to come to Northwest Ohio to get your dog. If a dog is located at a correctional facility near you, we can often make arrangements for you to meet us there to pick up the dog.
