Just Ask Pasha • If you can't keep your greyhound


Our life has changed, and we can no longer keep our greyhound. Is it OK to list him in an ad in the paper?

When we adopt a greyhound, we sincerely hope that this will be the greyhounds forever home. We also understand that life changes, and the greyhound may not be able to stay in your home.


Please return your greyhound to the adoption group. If you no longer live in the same town or your group doesn't exist, contact another local greyhound adoption group. When you signed your adoption contract, regardless of which group you adopted from, there was a clause that said you agree'd to return your greyhound to the group if you couldn't keep him.


Returning greyhounds to an adoption group is important for a couple of reasons:

  1. They will make sure that the new home understands greyhounds
  2. If the new family needs help or support, they have an adoption group to fall back on
  3. We will make sure that the new family knows about leashes, fences and living indoors

Returning a greyhound to their original group is good for you and it is the best for the greyhound.
