Ohio
Greyhound Placement, Inc. is a nonprofit*, volunteer-run organization
dedicated to placing retired racers in qualified homes. Every dog
we place has been:
• spayed or neutered
• inoculated against distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis, parainfluenza,
parvovirus, coronavirus, bordetella, and rabies
• tested for heartworm
• given a "dental," i.e., ultrasonic scaling and polishing, and
any necessary dental work
• professionally groomed
• wormed
• given any other needed medical care **
The transition from track life to home life begins in our in-home kennel.
Housebreaking is started. The dogs learn to climb stairs and are introduced
to basic obedience commands. Each dog's personality and temperament are expertly
evaluated throughout his/her stay with us. We cat test each dog.

We
take great care to select a dog that is appropriate
for your family and your lifestyle...the right dog
for you. We consider many factors in this decision:
• family size
• number and ages of children
• other pets
• active or sedentary lifestyle
An application, interview, and $200.00 adoption fee are required. A fenced
yard or area is also required.
We do our utmost to educate the potential adopter, answering any and
all questions, and recommending certain greyt books.
Our purpose is not simply to place greyhounds in homes, but to ensure
a successful and happy adoption for both the dog and the family.
