About

Greyhound Friends of North Carolina (GFNC) - a 501(c)(3) nonprofit - is an established adoption agency providing retired racing greyhounds a path to lifelong placement into loving homes, ensuring their health and welfare, and educating the public about greyhounds as pets. We support and endorse relationships with organizations and groups which practice humane and ethical treatment of their dogs. GFNC is a foster only adoption group; we do not have a kennel. Our greyhounds go into private foster homes, which allow us to assess them individually in a home environment. This also gives them a head start in their transition and adjustment to home living, such as housetraining, sliding glass doors, tile floors, the television, stairs and other animals.

Adoption process

Submit Application - Once you have reviewed the Adoption Eligibility and the Adoption Requirements above and are in agreement to comply, complete and submit our online Adoption Application. Upon successful submission of online application, you will receive an automated response to confirm receipt of your application, please allow 2-3 weeks for our volunteers to process. Please check your spam folder for this confirmation. The questions in the application will assist our adoption counselors with determining the right greyhound for your home. We will contact your veterinarian to verify that your pets are current on their vaccinations and heartworm prevention. A home visit may be scheduled on prospective adopters to assist us in selecting a compatible greyhound for you. Our goal is to place our greyhounds in the best environment for their personality, activity level and temperament to ensure it’s a perfect match for everyone; we do not place our greyhounds solely by appearance. GFNC reserves the right to approve or deny an application for any reason at any point in the application process, including for providing false information and distance from our adoption coordinators/foster homes. Finding a Match - Once your application has been processed and approved, an adoption counselor will contact you to discuss your application, answer any questions you may have and notify you of any current fosters available that would be a good match for your home. Once a match is found, the foster parent will make arrangements for a meeting with you and the greyhound. If the foster parent and you agree it’s a match, an Adoption Contract Agreement will be completed, the adoption fee will be collected and you will be the lucky owner of a retired racing greyhound!
