We at A Greyhound's Wish want you to be certain that a Greyhound is the right pet for you. We strongly recommend reading Living with a Greyhound By Cynthia Branigan. It is a book that covers just about every situation that a person adopting a greyhound is likely to encounter.

Once you have decided to adopt a Greyhound from A Greyhound's Wish, you will need to complete a placement application. (Adobe Acrobat Reader Required. Don't have it? Download it here.) After we receive your application, we will call you to review any questions you might have. By going over your application with you, we can match the perfect greyhound for your home. After you take your new pet home, we continue to provide support in the form of follow up phone calls and visits, if needed. We want to make sure you and your new Greyhound are happy.

If you have any questions about adopting that are not answered, please feel free to e-mail us.
