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.

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. |

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! |
