Welcome!
Greyhound Friends gets homeless dogs home – especially purpose-bred dogs like sighthounds and sporting dogs who are overbred or discarded when no longer useful. We adopt dogs to responsible, loving homes in Massachusetts and throughout New England. We also work to educate the public about the need for adoption and humane treatment of dogs everywhere.
If you want to adopt, please download and complete a Pre-adoption Application and schedule a visit to meet our available dogs. Greyhounds, sighthounds, hounds and mixed breed dogs are arriving on a regular basis. Our adoption fee is $650 for Portuguese dogs and $1000 for all greyhounds and Spanish dogs. Fees vary mainly due to differences in transport costs.
Join our email list and follow us on Facebook or Instagram for the latest updates and news.
You can turn compassion into action by making a contribution in any amount. Please consider becoming a Sustainer by making a monthly gift, automatically through your credit card or PayPal, using the Donate button above. All contributions are greatly appreciated and help dogs right away.
Fueled by the kind support of dog-loving friends, we are here for dogs who need us.
Greyhound Friends is committed to creating a diverse environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity organization. All qualified applicants will receive consideration without regard to race, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.
What’s New:
Mini-Auction Runs Friday October 11 to Monday October 14
Rainy weather on Open House day meant fewer guests and fewer contributions to sustain Greyhound Friends’ work. So here’s a chance to remedy some of the shortfall and have some fun doing it.
We’re throwing a fall- and Halloween-themed mini-auction from Friday October 10 to Monday October 14, to raise some funds for adoption and dog care.
Follow the album link on Facebook and bid, bid, bid!
