Available Hounds
Retired racing greyhounds available for adoption through Greyhound Crossroads in Upstate South Carolina.
We are currently doing adoptions to new adopters on a limited basis, mostly in South Carolina, due to the shortage of incoming greyhounds. Most of the tracks closed across the country in 2020, but we have gotten a few dogs from Australia and the two remaining tracks in West Virginia. We also have taken in a few returned dogs that we placed and some from other groups that have permanently closed in the Southeast. There is always a waiting list but we continue to assist every greyhound and possible owner that we can.
If you are a NEW ADOPTER and are in our adoption area: please fill out the form below for more information to see if we can provide adoption support for you. NOTE- we cannot provide adoptions outside of the Carolinas and Georgia unless you are a GC adopter.
If you HAVE ALREADY ADOPTED from Greyhound Crossroads or another group, and want to adopt again, please fill out the form below. This will give us your current contact info to begin helping you.
Greyhound Crossroads Adoption Requests
We suggest making a $450 adoption donation, WHEN you get your greyhound, to help us cover its transportation and vetting. We never ask for any fee to apply to adopt.

Tac will be arriving from Australia in January. He is described by our friends Down Under as a calm and independent Greyhound who enjoys spending time with his family.. he's great on the lead, loves sniffing and exploring new environments, and is always responsive when called. While he's relaxed, Tac can be a bit cautious in new situations, taking his time to adjust at his own pace. Tac loves to join the family on outings, like picking the kids up from school or heading to the pet shop to help choose tasty treats. He enjoys the attention he gets along the way is is always happy to be included in the fun. if you're looking for a laid-back, easygoing greyhound who enjoys family time and a little adventure, Tac could be the perfect addition to your home. UPDATE! Handsome boy Tactical Shot (Tac) is available again for adoption. Although his family loved him, they made the hard decision to have him start over. He's made it clear that in their home, he wasn't completely settled into the pack order of having a small child. Because of this we are changing his listing to "older children only" just to be safe. Otherwise he's a wonderful dog and ready to try again in a new place moving forward! |

Rosie will be arriving from Australia in January. Our friends Down Under describe her as a cheerful, active Greyhound who loves meeting new people and enjoys plenty of pats. She's alert and curious in new environments but remains calm and stress-free. Rosie gets along great with other dogs, especially an Italian Greyhound named CC, but she's a bit too excited around fluffy small dogs, so she'd do best in a home without those. On hot days, Rosie loves to paddle around in her clam pool. She also walks beautifully on lead, never pulling, and enjoys a relaxed stroll. If you're looking for a happy, social, and playful companion, Rosie could be the perfect fit for you! UPDATE! Rosie was much loved by her current family, but was also having some issues long-term with their youngest child. We have encouraged them to let us find another placement for this lovely little girl and let everyone start over. For more information, feel free to contact us directly for questions with Rosie and young children. She is settling in with her foster family in NC and is once again available for adoption. |
