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

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.
