Why Adopt a Second Chance Greyhound?

• You will be adopting the BEST OF THE BEST in former racing Greyhounds.
• These are special Greyhounds for special people. The prison Greyhounds have been through a rigorous 8 week training period.
• You will gain a new Greyhound best friend that will forever change your life.
• We strive to ensure the "perfect fit" of your new Greyhound into your family lifestyle.
• Your Greyhound will be socialized into home living through this unique foster care system.
• Those Greyhounds fostered and trained in the prison system will be a holder of the CGC (Canine Good Citizen) certificate.
• He will make you proud of the way he does all of his obedience commands.
• Your Greyhound will become a part of the media campaign promoting these prestigious Greyhounds to the American public via television and the media-nationwide.
• Your Greyhound will be registered in our Wayward Hounds™ database. If he or she is lost, you will have a network of volunteers dedicated to finding your four-legged friend.
• As a new adopter and member of Second Chance Greyhounds, you can participate in our Greyt Sitters^TM program that provides a roster of Second Chance Greyhounds members who are Greyhound savvy and who are willing to care for your Greyhound while you are away. We request that new adopters be comfortable with their own new Greyhound before committing to sit someone else’s. In exchange for this service, the organization requests that a nominal donation be made to Second Chance Greyhounds in lieu of payment for services rendered.  For more information and to enroll in the program, please click here.
