They have raced their entire lives and are happy to become your couch potato. They require about 18 hours of sleep of day but enjoy playtime as well. Remember, the greyhound is expected to race and after that, is put back in its kennel. You do not have to be a marathon runner to own one. A long walk or a fence for running around in once a week is sufficient.
Greyhounds are great at entertaining themselves, but they love human.
Give them a cushion or a pillow and they will lie there for hours - they are not used to such comforts. Here, Greyhound owners can bring their pets for interactive play. This is ideal for those living in apartments or homeowners without a fenced back yard. It is not necessary to have adopted a Greyhound from Greyhound Friends to participate. Very few pet adoption programs can provide as much information about an animal as the Greyhound Friends organization.
