Hounds
Retired racing greyhounds available for adoption through Greyhound Crossroads in Upstate South Carolina.
IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO OUR ADOPTERS!
We are currently doing adoptions on a limited basis, in the Upstate Area of South Carolina, due to the shortage of 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. Please fill out this form so we have your current info and can add you to our list of people interested in greyhound adoption.
If you are a new adopter and are in our adoption area of Upstate SC, please fill out the form below. You will be contacted to complete the approval process, with a home visit, IF we have a greyhound available that will work for your home. If you are already an approved adopter and have adopted from us before, please fill out the form below, so we have your current info and can start looking for a dog that suits your needs.
Greyhound Crossroads Adoption Requests
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 $450 WHEN you get your greyhound to help us cover its' medical and transport expenses. We never charge a fee to apply.

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. |
