Hounds
Retired racing greyhounds available for adoption through Greyhound Crossroads in Upstate South Carolina.
IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO OUR ADOPTERS!
We are currently doing adoptions on a limited basis, in the Upstate Area of South Carolina, due to the shortage of 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. Please fill out this form so we have your current info and can add you to our list of people interested in greyhound adoption.
If you are a new adopter and are in our adoption area of Upstate SC, please fill out the form below. You will be contacted to complete the approval process, with a home visit, IF we have a greyhound available that will work for your home. If you are already an approved adopter and have adopted from us before, please fill out the form below, so we have your current info and can start looking for a dog that suits your needs.
Greyhound Crossroads Adoption Requests
You will be contacted if we have a greyhound that will be a good match. That may take awhile. We suggest making an adoption donation of $450 WHEN you get your greyhound to help us cover its' medical and transport expenses. We never charge a fee to apply.
Ace will be arriving from Australia in January. Our friends Down Under describe him a charming boy who is great with medium to large dog friends and would love to have a canine companion by his side. He's gentle and easy going on the lead, making every walk a smooth and enjoyable stroll. Ace is suited for homes with older children. While he's happy spending time with his family, Ace has the potential to build up to longer hours home alone with a little training. His birthday is March 24, 2021 making him almost 4 months old. If you're looking for a loyal companion who places his cards right, Ace is the perfect addition to your family deck! Photos coming soon! |

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!
