Congratulations and thank you for adopting a greyhound!

This website houses many articles that will help you if you ever need answers and your adoption group is not readily available to help you. The site likely contains articles that may differ from your adoption group’s philosophy and methodology. Choose what works best for you and your dog, keeping safety first as your main goal. One thing all groups agree on is to not let your hound run free unless he’s in a fenced area or participating in lure coursing or straight racing for fun.

Listed below are links to absolutely the best articles for the newer adopter. They are also available from within their native categories in the side bar. The Care and Comfort, Safety and Think Pieces categories are not broken out but they contain articles such as  Greyhound Gas and Proper Weight,  A Martingale Collar is Only as Safe as You Adjust It and Crating: How long is too long?
