RETIRED GREYHOUNDS MAKE GREAT PETS

On the track, the racing greyhound is known for his speed, intelligence and love of the chase. An incomparable performer, the greyhound’s ability is often measured in terms of desire and spirit. A greyhound’s trainer calls it “heart.”

And when the time comes for the canine athlete to retire, again, his heart shows. Through active programs designed to place retired greyhounds into homes as pets, thousands of families across the country have discovered what the greyhound trainers have known all along: That the greyhound’s “heart” beats on long after his racing days are through. Off the track, the greyhound is a quiet, sensitive, playful and loving creature. Gentle with children, eager to please, and affectionate with one and all, the greyhound is the perfect pet and companion. We at Dairyland Greyhound Park invite you to bring a loving and gentle retired greyhound into your home and into your life.

Meet A Retired Greyhound Today

While at Dairyland Greyhound Park, stop by our greyhound adoption office, located in the grandstand. You’ll get to meet and be greeted by one of our adoptable greyhound friends, and can see for yourself their delightful, friendly nature. Grandstand hours on Sunday and Wednesday matinee performances are 12:20 pm to 3:30 pm. On Saturdays they are open from 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm and evening performance hours are 6:45 pm to 9:00 pm. Our Adoption Center is open seven days a week, please call for an appointment. The Adoption Center is located just east of the park on 104th Avenue.

Our greyhound adoption program has a simple goal: To place good dogs with good people. Families interested in adopting a greyhound must fill out a screening questionnaire and participate in a personal interview with our Greyhound Adoption Coordinator. Greyhounds placed as pets will be spayed or neutered, brought up to date on all appropriate shots and vaccinations, and will undergo a thorough health examination by a licensed veterinarian. The adopting family must pay a $125 fee to help cover these costs.
