Rescue FAQs

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.

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.
