UPDATE: On November 5th, G.R.I. volunteers welcomed SEVEN fortunate ex-racers to their new lives in Boise, Idaho!
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!
ABOUT THIS PAGE
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.
With this in mind, you will not find details about specific adoptable dogs on this page.
Here are a few reasons why...
  • We place dogs in "forever homes" based on matching the personalities of the dogs and their prospective families. We guarantee that you'd "fall in love" with more than one darling face if you were to see them online before getting to know the sweeties personally.
  • At any given time, Greyhound Rescue of Idaho has access to literally dozens of adoptable ex-racers. The effort necessary to maintain a web listing of every dog's status on any given day would be better spent in patting heads, distributing treats and rubbing ears.
  • 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: info@greyhoundrescueofidaho.org
