The ownership of a greyhound, like any pet, is a serious responsibility that requires a long-term commitment.

It is the goal of the adoption center to be sure that each new home will attend to the financial, physical and psychological need to each 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, as well as to aide the adoption staff in applicant evaluation and in matching appropriate pets to pet owners.

A complete form has to be filled out before an adoption.
(all fields are required).
