Links - Local Groups Intro
For Prospective Adoptive
Familes
Most groups follow a fairly
standard adoption procedure and although they make independent decisions about
the dogs that they take, they often liase quite closely with other colleagues.
Some have the capacity to use particular kennels to care for the dogs waiting
for homes, and some function purely because generous supporters will foster dogs.
All groups have the problem of being asked to take more dogs than they can accommodate,
but will help, where possible, with advice about advertising and home checking.
These
group contacts do not keep greyhounds for adoption at home. But appointments can
be made to view dogs, wherever they are being housed, at any reasonable time.
Note:
Inclusion of a Greyhound Rescue group in the following list does not indicate
our endorsement. You must evaluate any group that you deal with for yourself.
A responsible group will carry out home checks, or seek veterinary references
for prospective owners. A record of veterinary care to date, advice about
the 'pros and cons' of ownership, and a contact number for a representative of
the group should be available. You should be able to seek post adoption
support, and be confident that the group's policy enables you to return the dog
should insurmountable problems arise. Expect to sign an adoption form and
to make a donation to the group funds to help with costs.
