Available Hounds
Retired racing greyhounds available for adoption through Greyhound Crossroads in Upstate South Carolina.
We are currently doing adoptions to new adopters on a limited basis, mostly in South Carolina, due to the shortage of incoming greyhounds. Most of the tracks closed across the country in 2020, but we have gotten a few dogs from Australia and the two remaining tracks in West Virginia. We also have taken in a few returned dogs that we placed and some from other groups that have permanently closed in the Southeast. There is always a waiting list but we continue to assist every greyhound and possible owner that we can.
If you are a NEW ADOPTER and are in our adoption area: please fill out the form below for more information to see if we can provide adoption support for you. NOTE- we cannot provide adoptions outside of the Carolinas and Georgia unless you are a GC adopter.
If you HAVE ALREADY ADOPTED from Greyhound Crossroads or another group, and want to adopt again, please fill out the form below. This will give us your current contact info to begin helping you.
Greyhound Crossroads Adoption Requests
We suggest making a $450 adoption donation, WHEN you get your greyhound, to help us cover its transportation and vetting. We never ask for any fee to apply to adopt.

Rosie arrived in January from Australia. She race 50 races there and won 4 of those and placed in a lot. Her last race was October 17th. Rosie's sire is Magic Sprite and her dam is Isla's Style. She was born on October 17th of 2019 and she raced at 61lbs. Our friends Down Under describe her as a real love. A cheerful, active Greyhound, who loves meeting new people and seeks out affection. She's alert and curious in new environments but generally is calm and stress-free. Rosie gets along great with other larger dogs. She also had a small Italian Greyhound buddy named CC. She is a bit too excited around fluffy small dogs, so we think she needs a home without those. On hot days, Rosie loves to paddle around in her pool. She also walks beautifully on lead, never pulling, and enjoys a relaxed stroll. If you're looking for a happy, social, and playful companion, Rosie could be the perfect fit for you! Rosie has been in an adoptive home since shortly after she arrived, but became uncomfortable with their small child. She is looking for another home without small kids. |
