Mission: Every year hundreds of young and healthy purebred Greyhounds are in need of adoption after their time on the track is through. Calm, gentle and eager to please, these graceful pets are quite comfortable giving up life in the fast lane. AZgreyhounds is dedicated to the rescue and adoption of these beautiful animals and finding 'forever' homes for each one. The program also provides educational programs to local schools and groups about retired Greyhounds, their history, Greyhound racing and our adoption program.
We love the dedication that AZgreyhounds exhibits in the finding of 'forever homes' for retired racing greyhounds. These majestic animals (the 40-mile an hour Couch Potato) have historically been destroyed by owner/breeders when their racing careers were no longer profitable. AZgreyhounds does so much more than provide these hounds.
