Greyhound Guide

Greyhound Guide CartoonWelcome!

Those of us who love greyhounds know how special they are. We change our homes, our cars, our beds - and they change our lives. So, fair warning, learning about greyhounds is the first step in changing your life and theirs.

Please do not hesitate to call, or email, if you have any questions at all. No question is too trivial or silly.

Note #1: The pronoun "he" is used throughout this guide to denote either sex of dog. I'm not being sexist, though I do have a thing for the male dogs. It's just more convenient to use "he" as a generic reference.

Note #2: This Guide was originally written in 1995, and it has stood the test of time. It's been translated for use in Europe, and is used by many U.S. adoption groups, too.

Note #3: All adoption groups are welcome to link to this Guide. Just email me to let me know, and do put up a link to the Gang's site. I also offer Greyhound Guide, wholesale, in booklet form to adoption groups for use with prospective adopters.

Note #4: If you want to read even more, do purchase Retired Racing Greyhounds for Dummies and Adopting an Ex-Racing Greyhound: The Reign of the Greyhound. Using these links to buy the books will earn the Greyhound Gang 4% of the cover cost.
