COVID- 19 GREYHOUND WELFARE OPERATIONS
GW will not hold open houses, special events, and similar activities where there is social contact. GW will continue to accept online applications. GW is experiencing an unprecedented volume of adoption applications for retired racing greyhounds. Adoption applicants may have up to a 6-8 week wait to adopt a GW foster dog. GW is bringing retired racing greyhounds into the GW foster program on a routine basis….so there are retired racing greyhounds available for adoption. For the final step in the application process, the home visit, GW will offer virtual visits. Applicants who cannot accommodate a virtual home visit will be on hold until social contact is considered acceptable by Federal and State authorities. Adoption of our foster dogs will be done under specific conditions designed to minimize social contact. I appreciate everyone’s patience and support as we all travel through these uncharted waters. Please remain safe and healthy.

Critical Time for Alone Training
With most of us staying at home due to Covid-19, we are spending a lot of time with our dog(s). Although comforting for both human and pet, spending too much time together is prime breeding ground for separation anxiety and associated behavioral problems. Please practice daily alone training with your dog(s). Details HERE
