Greyhound adoption center

The English Greyhound is a breed of dog, a sighthound which has been bred for coursing game and greyhound racing. Since the rise in large-scale adoption of retired racing Greyhounds, the breed has seen a resurgence in popularity as a family pet. They are considered to make good pets, and are known for their loving nature and enjoyment of the company of humans or other dogs, though how well a Greyhound tolerates the company of other small animals such as cats depends on the individual dog's personality. They will typically chase small animals; those lacking a high 'prey drive' will be able to coexist happily with toy dog breeds and cats. Greyhounds live most happily as pets in quiet environments. They do well in families with children, as long as the children are taught to treat the dog properly. They have a sensitive nature, and gentle commands work best as training methods.
