Greyhounds are by nature a very swift, docile breed.
The need for Greyhound adoption is great due to the strong racing community throughout the United States. Some racing facilities, however, are now using that fee to adopt Greyhounds right from the track. But many Greyhounds still do not make it. The day a Greyhound opens its eyes it is placed in a run to compete with other puppies. By 18 months of age, the dogs are given three races to finish as a winner.
