Adoption Application
IMPORTANT NOTICE- 1/28/26
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.
Greyhound Crossroads Adoption Requests Form (currently not accepting responses)
As a group of dedicated and passionate supporters of the American Racing Greyhound, we will do everything possible to place every greyhound into the right home until we no longer have the option to do so. If you have questions, concerns, or feel you have a situation not addressed by the options above, please feel free to contact me by email so that I can assist you.
For general application questions and status requests, email Application Coordinator Jamie Elrod

Important Adoption Tips!
We CANNOT hold dogs because of the limited number of greyhounds. Adoptions are first come first served based. We will contact you when and if we have a greyhound that matches your needs. If you are unable to adopt at that time, please let us know and let us know if you wish to remain on our waiting list or be removed.
Being willing to drive to meet a greyhound! We have foster homes in several states. Our volunteers have already transported the dogs from the tracks in other states, transported the dogs to and from their vetting and have put a lot of time into fostering them. For this reason, we don't ask our foster homes to drive their fosters long distances to meet potential adopters. We hope adopters will be willing do the driving to meet their own dog.
