Welcome to American Greyhound
American Greyhound is dedicated to helping retired racing greyhounds, Spanish galgos, lurchers, and other sighthounds in need. Our volunteers welcome these dogs into their hearts, often teaching them what it means to live in a home for the first time. We provide vet care and other essentials, and work to find each dog a loving, forever home where they can live as a cherished pet.
Adopting sighthounds into loving homes is what we do.

What’s New With American Greyhound
Success Stories
I had such a great experience with American Greyhound. The people are so friendly and passionate about the greyhounds.
I adopted my Florence from American Greyhound, and she is honestly the perfect dog! If I had sat down and checked off exactly what I wanted in a dog, I still don’t think I would’ve ended up with a dog as wonderful as Flo
We just adopted our second from American greyhound. Couldn’t be happier with the experience. Everyone goes out of their way to fit you with the right dog and go above and beyond for all of their dogs
When we adopted our brindle greyhound Katy, she came to us fully trained, and we loved her sweet personality. She is now 10 years old and still a sweet loving girl
