Adoption Application
IMPORTANT NOTICE- 2/24/25
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
As a group of dedicated and passionate supporters of the American Racing Greyhound, we will do everything possible to place every greyhound into the right home until we no longer have the option to do so. If you have questions, concerns, or feel you have a situation not addressed by the options above, please feel free to contact me by email so that I can assist you.

Important Adoption Tips!
We CANNOT hold dogs because of the limited number of greyhounds. Adoptions are first come first served based. We will contact you when and if we have a greyhound that matches your needs. If you are unable to adopt at that time, please let us know and let us know if you wish to remain on our waiting list or be removed.
Being willing to drive to meet a greyhound! We have foster homes in several states. Our volunteers have already transported the dogs from the tracks in other states, transported the dogs to and from their vetting and have put a lot of time into fostering them. For this reason, we don't ask our foster homes to drive their fosters long distances to meet potential adopters. We hope adopters will be willing do the driving to meet their own dog.
