 At any given time in the kennel there are 20 beautiful greyhounds ready and waiting to be adopted. We encourage you to visit the kennel anyday of the week between 9-5. The adoption of a greyhound from Greyhounds Friends is a carefully structured process. We work hard to ensure we place greyhounds in homes that are very well-matched and compatible. The safety and well being of the greyhounds is of the utmost and prime importance for the organization and our staff. Please carefully read the steps in the adoption process. There is an adoption fee of $200 with each adopted dog ( goes towards neutering, shots, and a collar and leash). Steps to Adopt a Greyhound: 1. The first step in the adoption process is to visit the kennel (located in Hopkinton, MA - directions here). The kennel is open every day - 7 days a week - from 9:00AM - 5:00PM. Anyone interested in adopting is welcome to stop by when it's convenient or, if preferred, an appointment can be made in advance by calling 508-435-5969. All people living in the home where the greyhound will live should plan to attend this visit. When you visit the kennel we ask that you also please complete the pre-adoption form and bring it with. We'll review your pre-adoption form with you when you arrive. The form asks questions about the adopter's lifestyle - house or apartment, fenced yard or not, work hours, children, other pets, etc. This information helps the staff show greyhounds to the adopters that may match their lifestyles. 2. Once the pre-adoption form is completed, potential adopters will be introduced to some greyhounds. Walking them on a leash or taking them into the fenced field for a run are options as ways to get to know a particular greyhound. 3. If a match is made and the adoption proceeds, an adoption form will then be completed and references checked. After all necessary paperwork is completed, you're able to take the dogs home with you. |
