Application: The ownership of a greyhound, like any pet, is a serious responsibility that requires a long-term commitment. The goal of the Adoption Center is to be sure each new home will meet the financial, physical, and psychological needs of the greyhound placed. It is quite true that not every person who desires to own a pet should own a pet. This questionnaire has been designed to help prospective greyhound adopters address the issues that would directly affect their home and family. And it will help the adoption staff evaluate the applicant, and match appropriate pets to potential owners.
