Greyhound Adoption Contract

The ownership of a Greyhound is accompanied by a lifetime of commitment and responsibilities. As a result, a Greyhound does not necessarily suit everyone and compliment everyone’s lifestyle. Therefore, Greyhound Expressions requires prospective adopters to provide love and dependable care (i.e. physical, emotional, and financial) throughout the Greyhound’s life. Our goal is to place Greyhounds into permanent homes that recognize these expectations and will adhere to them under all circumstances. Greyhound Expressions has devised the following adoption application to facilitate the adoption process to determine suitability and for evaluative purposes.
