Greyhound adoption

Greyhound adoption or Greyhound rescue programs focus on finding homes for greyhounds who are no longer needed for racing. Greyhounds have had a reputation for being gentle, people-centered dogs, and "par-excellence for persons wishing for a companion for themselves or their children".

As of 2024, most greyhound adoption programs are based in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, as each of those countries still has relatively large greyhound racing industries.
