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.

So someone with a sense of humor named this litter of pups. Dung's littermates are Dookie, Deuce, Runs, and Squirts. We were asked to help another adoption group place some of their dogs because their vet passed away and they haven't been able to get their fosters vetted. That adoption group decided to call him Doug instead of Dung and we like that name much better too. Doug raced at Tri State Race Track very briefly. We were only able to find 7 schooling races for him. He always finished toward the back of the pack, so never had an official race. Doug's sire is Show On The Road and his dam is Kelso's Very Cool. He is a big, tall guy racing at 80lbs. He is 2 and won't turn 3 until December 23rd. When we picked him up at the other adoption kennel, he came running out and came right up to us with his tail wagging. He appeared to be a friendly happy guy and didn't seem shy or timid at all. He traveled really well and laid down most of the trip. But when he got out of the van, he was a totally different dog. He seemed completely out of his element and nervous. His head was down and he was very quiet and clearly overwhelmed. Once he warms back up and gets more comfortable we are sure he will return to the happy, bouncy, young guy we saw when he was comfortable. Doug easily passed his cat test and didn't seem interested in the cat at all. He is being fostered with cats and is doing great with them too. He didn't show much interest in the small white dog he met either. UPDATE: Doug decided he might like a nibble on a cat in his foster home, so to be on the safe side we are changing him to NO for cats. Still an amazing, gorgeous dog! |
