Hallo Bambo Baby, a female,
New Greyhounds are placed in our
unique foster prison program for a minimum of three weeks to help them make a smooth transition from living in a track kennel to living around people. After undergoing obedience training, our greyhounds are
placed in a home with a foster family to transition to a home environment. By the time they reach their new 'forever home,' they have received extensive training and are well suited to fit into a family living
Greyhound Pets of America-South Carolina/Carolina Greyhound Adoptions would like to introduce you to our current adoptable Greyhounds. Through Petfinder.org, we offer a current picture and up-to-date description of each of our adoptable Greyhounds.
Each Greyhound receives a thorough veterinary examination, which includes rabies and DHLPP, heartworm testing, spay/neuter, and teeth cleaning. In additon, all incoming GPA-SC greyhounds are microchipped.
Mack,
a brindle male, is available for adoption
Starting April 12,
2010, the adoption fee of $250 for greyhounds less than eight (8) years old, and $110 for greyhounds eight (8) years and older, helps off-set the veterinary costs, transportation from Florida to South Carolina, and food while the Greyhound is in the foster home. Also included in the adoption fee is a Greyhound safety collar and matching lead, muzzle, and an adoption guide that includes all of your greyhound's veterinary records. While Greyhound Pets of America-South Carolina/Carolina Greyhound Adoptions tries to accommodate special requests, our primary goal is to match the Greyhound to the adoptive household, whether the need is for a laid-back companion or a dog suited to an active household with children, cats, and/or other pets.
