Joey's Greyhound Friend's, Inc.

Joey's Greyhound Friends Inc. was initially founded to rescue those retired greyhounds who were either too slow or injured from the Naples/Ft. Myers, Florida racetrack. There are currently 12 active racing kennels at this racetrack with a large number of greyhounds in need of loving and responsible homes. This ever present need keeps us working diligently and tirelessly in organizing pet runs and adoption hauls to reputable organizations out of state as well as finding caring families to adopt locally. Our staff of volunteers have a close working relationship with several local veterinarians, law enforcement agencies, civic organizations, animal shelters and the Humane Society. We also specialize in finding groups and caring individuals who are willing to open their hearts and homes to old brood mamas and old stud dogs, who deserve to live out their remaining years in the comfort of soft and warm beds, surrounded by love and kindness. Regardless of their previous history or present circumstances, no needy greyhound is refused and all are treated with the love and respect that we all deserve. We welcome everyone who visits our website and hope you will enjoy reading about these magnificent greyhounds that captivated the hearts of Kings and Noblemen, just as we hope they will captivate your heart as well. ~ Our Mission Statement ~ Joey's Greyhound Friends, Inc. is dedicated to finding permanent, loving and responsible homes for greyhounds that are lucky enough to enter the rescue community after their short racing career is over, due to injuries or just being too slow to make money for their owners. We also work on promoting public awareness about racing greyhounds. Joey's Greyhound Friends, Inc. pledges to all greyhounds that no matter how old, how sick, what color, what sex or from where he/she came from, a greyhound in need is a greyhound we want to help.
