PLEASE NOTE: THE KENNEL IS CLOSED DUE TO SNOW ON SUNDAY, 2/9/25
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:
Love Is in the Air… and Hearts for Houndies are Here Again!
Through the month of February, you can put your name on a heart to be displayed at the kennel for all the pups to see. Just use the easy Donate button on this page @ $10 per heart and please include in the Notes section how you would like your name written on each.
We’ll do the rest, and post pictures. Let’s fill the kennel with lots of hearts for the houndies and show how much they are loved. Thank you!
