Adoptables
KCREGAP, and many greyhound rescue groups around the country, have periods where we have saved
a number of older adult greyhounds. They come to us from many different sources, some for
legitimate reasons; some because they have been breeding stock; and some come from shelters
because people’s lifestyle‘s have changed, they have not considered their pets, and as the
dogs become inconvenient, they have been dumped. All of these precious babies desperately
need homes. They have many years of unconditional love to give families. Although it is
reasonable to be concerned that you may not have them as long as a younger grey, there are
never any guarantees. We have had two year olds die of unforeseen illnesses. These guys
desperately need a chance. Another unfortunate side effect is that they take so much
longer to place than a younger dog, our program cannot bring in those dogs that are ultimately
being destroyed because our foster homes and kennel are full of mature greyhounds waiting to
be chosen. The older dogs typically go into a home with very little transitional problems
and settle in like they have been there all their lives and are eternally grateful for a
soft spot to curl up on and share your love and affection! As you’re looking at the bios
following this paragraph, please consider taking one of these special greyhounds into your
hearts – we promise you that you will never regret it (and you may even become like many of
us – preferring to live with the older kids)!

Below is a list of the dogs that we currently have available for adoption.
