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, 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. We also have taken in a few returned dogs that we placed and some from other groups that have folded. 

If you are a new adopter that is in our adoption area of Upstate South Carolina: please fill out the form below and we will contact you to get you approved with a home visit if we have a dog that might be a good match for you.

If you HAVE ALREADY ADOPTED from Greyhound Crossroads before and are wanting to adopt again, please fill out the form below so we have your current contact info and can begin looking for the right dog for 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.

Scoobie just retired from the Palm Beach Race Track. He also race briefly at Valley Race Course. He won a few races and got up to B level briefly. Scoobie raced 32 races total. He raced at 71lbs and will turn 10 on July 12th. His sire is the famous KC and All and his dam is Esteem Drive. He passed his cat and small dog tests. Scoobie seems like a happy, friendly guy that is pretty calm. He is mostly white with just a few black brindle patches with cute ears that stand straight up when he is curious about something. Scoobie has been in an adoptive home since July of 2018. His elderly owners are no longer able to care for their dogs so they are asking us to rehome them. Scoobie is being returned with Cookie Lynn.

Cookie initially came in from the Bolton Kennel at the Sanford Orlando Race Track. She had a good career of 96 races there and raced much of her career at the top A level. She turned 8 on June 15th. Her sire is the very famous Lonesome Cry. We have placed a lot of his puppies. Her dam is Stevie Nicks and we have placed one of Cookie's half sisters named In A Blinkofaeye. Cookie is a sweet friendly girl that seems pretty calm. She is a rare light fawn, a very light blonde color with big dark eyes. She just stares at you when she wants attention. Cookie passed her cat test at the vet's office and was around a small white dog when she first arrived and was fine with him too. She is a very sweet girl that is doing great in foster care. Her foster mom says that if she even has to tell her no, she responds right away. Cookie has been in an adoptive home since September of 2019 with her housemate Scoobie. Their owners are in bad health and are no longer able to take care of the dogs, so have asked for help finding a home for them together.

Key Siren
Racing Name:
Key Siren
Pet/Kennel Name:
Chanel
Age:
7
Color/Gender:
White and Brindle Female
Cat Tolerance:
No
Small Dog Tolerance:
No
Good w/ Children:
No
Fostered by (location):
Parker (Pfafftown, NC)
Adoption Status: Under evaluation for adoption

Chanel was originally adopted 3 years ago from Project Racing Home in NC which has closed now, so we have been asked to assist with her rehoming.  Her primary issue in being returned is that she is uncomfortable living with active children in her space.  She is also not cat or small dog safe, but likes other large dogs.  Her birthday is January 1, 2018 and her tattoos are 18A-71643.  Chanel has been living with a doggy door at her previous home, so we don't have any information on whether she would be good for a family without a fenced yard who walks instead.   More info and new pictures of her will come as soon as she arrives in foster care.
