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, 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. We also have taken in a few returned dogs that we placed and some from other groups that have folded. 

If you are a new adopter that is in our adoption area of Upstate South Carolina: please fill out the form below and we will contact you to get you approved with a home visit if we have a dog that might be a good match for you.

If you HAVE ALREADY ADOPTED from Greyhound Crossroads before and are wanting to adopt again, please fill out the form below so we have your current contact info and can begin looking for the right dog for 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.

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!

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!
