Rescue FAQs

We love Greyhounds and want to find homes for them and help promote this sweet and gentle breed. About 50% of the Greyhounds that we re-home are retired racers and the remainder are typically rescued from animal shelters, off of the streets, listed on Craigslist, or from another type of perilous situation. Many of our Greyhounds are mixed with another breed of Sighthound--oftentimes this is because they were bred to hunt. The dogs that were bred to hunt are known as Lurchers. As a bonus, many of our mix-breed dogs have had DNA testing done.
Our group is located in Lubbock, Texas. We consider all inquiries for adoption.
