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 $1000 for all domestic and international dogs. Fees cover only a portion of transport and care costs; we rely on donations from generous friends to fund the rest.
Please 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.

Richie Is an Undiscovered Treasure
Richie is a smaller greyhound rescued from the meat trade in China. He is friendly, playful, and loves people despite his terrible ordeal. Richie richly deserves his own family to love and spoil him with all the toys and pets he could want.
Rich enjoys piling up stuffies on a bed when he has social time at the kennel. He’ll bring many smiles to the person or family who takes him home. Please email adopt@greyhound.org to inquire about Richie or send in your application. This sweet guy needs a soft place to land. Â
Educational Outrach Team Visists with School Kids
Greyhound Friends’ Educational Outreach volunteers returned to the Dover Sherborn Middle School this month for a presentation on sighthounds to 8th grade students. The best part, as always, was having the kids meet and pet the dogs.
Would you like the team to visit a school, scout troop, after-school program, or senior center near you? Please email greyhoundfriends.office@gmail.com.
Volunteers Needed to Staff Info Tables, Help with Meet & Greet Coordination and Tech Tasks
Greyhound Friends has volunteer opportunities in 3 distinct areas:
💙 Staffing information tables at area events and meet & greets – learn by shadowing experienced volunteers, then expand to new locations.
💙 Aiding the social media effort and office staff with technical projects.
💙 Coordinating volunteers for on-site and off-site events – a growing area of need as we expand our community presence.
If any of these opportunities interest you, please email greyhoundfriends.office@gmail.com to learn more. Thank you!
