Adoptions

What to get Before Adopting

---

Jacket

Every dog varies, but due to their short hair and lack of body fat, most get chilled at low temperatures. You should buy a jacket made especially for Greyhounds due to their deep chests.

Dog Bed

Because they have such a low body fat content, greyhounds need a soft place to sleep. Most greyhounds seem to prefer foam filled beds rather than cedar beds. Many people use old comforters or quilts. Costco is a very good source for good and inexpensive dog beds that are the perfect size for Greyhounds.

Toys

The furry or fuzzy stuffed animals with squeakers or noise makers seem to be the favorite toys.

Winter Booties

We recommend that your Greyhound wear booties in the winter.  You will need to purchase ones that are made specifically for taller dogs and come with Velcro to ensure they stay on.
