Greyhound Pets of America

Greyhound Pet Adoption Florida/​Southeast is very much open and they receive new dogs all the time. I had the pleasure of visiting twice, getting to know the volunteer staff and the dogs. They have a beautiful facility with plenty of room for dogs to be let out. The property has a house where a family lives in and cares for the dogs as well as the kennel.
Even though I have rescued greyhounds before, it is always good to get a refresher course from one of the staff. They took the time to tell me about the personality of each dog that was available for adoption. This is very important when making a decision because it can be difficult to choose just one of them.
We ended up getting Daisy, a sweet, petite black female with golden eyes. After losing our last rescue, our house was just not the same. Retired racers are all different ages. Ours is less than two years old.
If you are looking to adopt, call them and go visit the dogs. Greyhounds are called 45 mile an hour couch potatoes. They are not hyper dogs at all. They may sprint in the yard for a minute or two and that is it for the day. Their website shows photos and information on available dogs. These are great dogs that deserve to have a home.
