Raleigh NC Area

Greyhounds available in the Raleigh NC Area.

 

IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO OUR ADOPTERS!

As of January 2026, Greyhound Crossroads has once again gathered more adoption requests than we will be able to fill in the near future.  Therefore, the request list is currently CLOSED to NEW ADOPTERS.   We remain focused on dogs being returned to Greyhound Crossroads, and those displaced by not having their original groups to go back to.  Those options are extremely limited.

Those already on the list will continue to hear from our volunteers as dogs become available.  You will be contacted if we have a greyhound that will be a good match. That may take awhile. We suggest making an adoption donation of $650 WHEN you get your greyhound to help us cover its' medical and transport expenses. We never charge a fee to apply.

If you are already a Greyhound Crossroads adopter and wish to speak with us about adoption possibilities, you can email us at GreyhoundCrossroads.

Adoption Status: Just Arrived

Simba just arrived from a farm in WV. He never made it to the race track and just didn't show much interest in training. He is very young and won't turn 2 until May 3rd. His sire is CET Dirty Dan and his dam is JW's Ladyluck. Simba's litter was named for Lion King. Since he didn't race, Simba never got an official racing weight. He is a mid sized guy weighing in the lower 70s. He initially showed some interest in the cat, but after one correction, he lost all interest. That pretty much sums up his personality. He is super sweet and is a very soft dog that responds well to correction. He isn't an overly confident guy and isn't pushy with people or other dogs. Just a gentle boy and pretty calm for such a young guy. Simba passed his small dog test easily too. He isn't shy and has been calmly friendly with adults and children.

Candy just arrived from the Tri-State Race Track in WV where she raced 4 races. She raced the rest of her 22 races at the Wheeling WV race track. She only won 2 races and raced at the lower C and D levels. Her last race was August 22nd of 2024 and she has been back with her owner on the farm since then. Her sire is the famous DJays Octane and her dam is PJ Kool Aid. Candy will turn 4 on July 6th. She is a smaller girl racing at 60lbs. Candy is a timid girl, that has been very overwhelmed by everything new. She seems to want affection, but can be a bit cautious at first with people she doesn't know and approaches carefully. She likes her routine and learned which kennel was hers the first night. She is very quiet in her kennel. She seems to do best with other dogs around and is less nervous and braver with other dogs around. She showed no interest in chasing the cat or small dog she met so could live with either. Although she approached kids and seemed to be cautiously friendly with them, since she is shy, Candy would probably do best in a quiet home with quiet kids or no children. Candy is a sweet little girl that will need some time to adapt and build confidence with her new family. She is good with other dogs and seems to try to avoid any conflict.

Diamond just arrived from the Tri-State Race Track in WV. She only raced 7 official races there and finished toward the back of the pack in all of them. Diamond was retired young and won't turn 2 until May 4th. Her sire is Jackslittlething from Ireland and her dam is SE's Lil Money. She is a small female, racing at 60lbs. Diamond was too interested in chasing the cat to be able to live with kitties. She was fine with the small dog she met though. Diamond liked the kids she met and pretty much loves everyone. She is an attention hog and wants all the love from everyone she meets. Diamond is a very confident girl that does what she wants and can be a little pushy about it. She is likely to be the queen of the pack in any group of dogs. She has a little muzzle rub on her nose right now, but that it looks like the hair should grow back. This cute little girl has a TON of personality.

Shear Volume
Pet/Kennel Name:
Savannah
Age:
1.5
Color/Gender:
Fawn Female
Cat Tolerance:

Small Dog Tolerance:
Yes
Good w/ Children:
Yes

Adoption Status: Just Arrived

Shear Volume was called Savannah at the WV farm she was raised on. She came to us with her brother Jim straight from the farm. They just never did well enough in training to make it to the race track. She is a very young girl that won't turn 2 until April 12th. Her Sire is RCK Goneinaflash and her dam is RCK Golden Grace. She is a mid sized female that probably weighs in the lower 60s, although she doesn't have an official racing weight. Savannah was described to us as a girl that really loves attention to the point of being 'needy'. A really sweet girl. So far she has been a little overwhelmed by her first trip away from the farm, where she was born, but is handling everything new pretty well. She passed her cat test with only a few sniffs and no interest in chasing. She was also great with the small dog she met and seems to like children. So far, Savannah is pretty calm for such a young girl. She got along with all the other greyhounds she met too.
