Available Dogs

 

Adoptable DogsThere are always more greyhounds who need to find their "Forever Homes". Interested individuals, couples and families are encouraged to submit an Adoption Application form and contact G.R.I. volunteers via e-mail or at our Adoption Booths.
We will be glad to assist you in getting your questions answered and provide any and all information you would need in making the decision to add a greyhound to your family.

 

NOTE: A Greyhound is not the right dog for every family. We at G.R.I. are committed to assuring the best possible fit for every dog and every home we meet!

Important things to know

THANK YOU for your interest in Greyhound adoption!
At G.R.I. we are committed to finding the BEST possible home for each and every Greyhound we come in contact with.

Here are a few important things to know before we get to the dogs:

  • We place dogs in "forever homes" based on matching the personalities of the dogs and their prospective families. Just because you see a darling face on this page, that does not necessarily mean that the is the best dog for you and your lifestyle. Please be understanding if we direct you towards a dog other than the one you initially liked based on the pictures here.
  • At any given time, Greyhound Rescue of Idaho has access to literally dozens of adoptable ex-racers.
  • G.R.I. maintains an extensive (and costly) Sanctuary Sponsor program which supports the day-to-day expenses of about a dozen ex-racers with special needs. We encourage every interested person/family to consider how they might help our Sanctuary Sponsorship Program, should outright adoption not be an option at this time
  • EDUCATION COMES FIRST... At G.R.I. we believe that the key to a happy adoption story lies in the education of the family FIRST. To assist in your education, we encourage you to visit our LINKS PAGE and to join us at our weekly ADOPTION and INFORMATION BOOTHS.

 

As always, we are eager to answer any questions you might have and look forward to doing so! We can be emailed at:

Adoption Policies and Procedures

Greyhounds ready for adoption... 
Have been spayed or neutered, their teeth have been cleaned.  They have been checked for heart worm and have received their vaccinations including Rabies and Bordatella.  Each greyhound has been looked at by a Veterinarian.
Upon arrival into GRI's care, each greyhound receives a collar and GRI identification tags.  This collar and tag goes with the greyhound into his/her new home.  GRI also issues a copy of our Adoption Handbook to all adoptive parent(s).  We insist that new parent(s) read this pamphlet.  There is always something to learn about greyhounds and this booklet has proven invaluable to new and veteran greyhound parent(s).
If you are interested in obtaining a copy of the "Adoption Handbook - A guide to your new greyhound", please feel free to check our
calendar for a time and location of an upcoming adoption booth and stop by and visit with our volunteers.  GRI is not only an adoption organization, we are an education and support organization devoted to the greyhound.
