Finding Great Homes For Greyt Hounds!!

Adoptions To Date: 1,490 Greyhounds!!

On Our Way To 2,000 Happy Greyhounds And Families!!

10 Newly Retired Racing Greyhounds will be arriving at Greyhound Angels Adoption the week of April 16th.  Please watch our "Adopt Me" page for their pictures and profiles.

Who knows... Maybe your greyhound is arriving this week!!

Greyhounds and Veterans
In an effort to make a difference not only for our greyhounds but for the people who serve our great country, Greyhound Angels Adoption is starting a new program to help those returning Veterans and their families.
We will be placing greyhounds with Veterans and their families as therapy or companion greyhounds to help with their transition back to the states. 

If you know of a Veteran that would benefit from having a four legged friend, please contact GAA at (856) 292-8780 or email greytmomof3@comcast.net.

This program is free to all qualified Veterans and their families.
Watch our website for updates.

GAA and U of Penn Blood Drive

Greyhound Angels Adoption and University of Pennsylvania Veterinary Hospital have been working together to collect blood for any dog in need.  Most greyhounds are universal blood donors and due to their GREYT temperament make excellent donors.  We need some more adopted greyhounds to keep this program going.  Help your greyhound to help other dogs that just won't make it without them...

Donor Eligibility:

- The donor greyhound must have a good temperament and be a willing participant.

- The donor greyhound must be between 55 and 150 pounds at the time of donation.

- The donor greyhound must be between one and six years of age.

- The donor greyhound must be in excellent health.

- The donor greyhound must have blood that is type DEA 1.1 negative.  A simple blood test will be preformed on site prior to the donation.

This is an ongoing event at the Greyhound Angels Adoption Kennel.  U of Penn will be here with their state of the art Blood Mobile.  A lot of our greyhound participants have aged out of the program.  Please help us to keep this very needed program going.  If you have any questions or would like to sign up for the program, please contact Vera at wildears@verizon.net.

Are You Thinking About Adopting A Greyhound?

Greyhound Friends of Augusta (Georgia) posted a link from their site to a song called "The Race" by Matt Dahan.  Matt wrote the song for his family's two adopted greyhounds.  After listening to the song, group volunteer, Alan Jackson purchased it, wrote out the lyrics, timed the song and scoured the internet looking for appropriate photos to make a slideshow video.  After viewing the video, Matt gave Alan permission to use it to promote greyhound adoption.  The original video may be viewed on YouTube.

Please remember that adopting a retired racing greyhound is a life long commitment and your decision should not be taken lightly.  We recommend that you read "Retired Racing Greyhounds For Dummies" by Lee Livingood.  Come out to the kennel and talk to some of our volunteers.  Call us with your questions, (856) 292-8780.  Even if you adopt from another agency, try to get as many opinions and facts before you make the commitment.  Greyhounds are pack animals and they bond very quickly with their new pack, your family.  To adopt a greyhound and return them would break their heart and spirit, after all you have rejected them.

You can now fill out your application and submit it on-line.  Go to the bottom of the "Adoption" page or the top of the "Adopt Me" page to submit your application on-line.  Or print out our application at the bottom of the "Adopt Me" page.

Why are you lurking on the computer?  Don't be afraid, come on out to the kennel and see the greyhounds for  yourself.  Are you afraid to fall in love? 

Please Note:  The Kennel will be closed on Wednesdays.

Planning Your Holiday or Summer Vacation?

Don't Forget The Furkids!!

Let Greyhound Angels Adoption watch your furkids for you.  We provide boarding and grooming for all greyhounds and their other breed friends.  We offer your furkids a climate controlled (air conditioned and heated), fully licensed facility.  We also provide around the clock staffing for their safety and your piece of mind!!

All furkids that board with us will be able to play the day away in our indoor playroom complete with toys, beds, and blankets.  All playtime is supervised so that your greyhounds and their other breed friends are safe.  It will be their vacation while you are on vacation. 

We do not charge extra for medication administration, to feed your dog a special diet, playtime, or to show them plenty of love and attention.  Any greyhound staying seven nights will get a free spa day before they go home.  They will receive a free oatmeal medicated bath, nail clipping, and ear cleaning.

Maybe your greyhound will find a friend to take home with them.  We provide a pick your friend service.  If you are looking for another greyhound, we will help your greyhound find a friend while they stay here.  By the time they go home together, they are already buddies. 

Space is limited for boarding so that we may provide our vacationing greyhounds with plenty of attention and love.  Please call the kennel at (856) 292-8780 to make your reservations.

We also provide Spa Day Services for greyhounds.  You can call to make your appointment or just stop in with your greyhound.
